tion instructions described in the

enclosed “Important Safety In-

structions.”

CONNECTING THE
SPEAKERS

Attaching the Speakers

To attach the supplied speakers to the
CD-3319, slide each speaker down
into the grooves on each side of the
CD-3319 until it clicks.

To detach each speaker, press and
hold the speaker’s locking la tch away
from the CD-3319, then lift the speak­er straight up.

Place the speakers so the distance
between them is the same as the dis­tance between the listening area and
a point halfway between the speakers.
If the distance between the speakers
is greater, you can improve the stereo
effect by angling the speakers in to­ward the listening area.

To increase the bass effect, place the
speakers in corners, against the wall,
or directly on the floor. To decrease
the bass effect, move the speakers
slightly away from the wall, or raise
them 6 or more inches off the floor.
You can purch ase speaker stands at
your local Radio Shack store.

: If you want to con nect speak ers

Note

other than the supplied ones, use
speakers with an impedance of 4
ohms.

Connecting the Speaker
Wires

Follow these steps to connect the
speaker wires to the CD-3319.

1. Unwind as much speaker wire as
you need from the back of each
speaker, then slide the wire
through one of the slots on the
back of each speaker to hold it in
place.

CONNECTING POWER

You can power t he CD-3319 from any
of the following:

• AC power using the supplied AC
power cord

• Nine D batteries (not supplied)

• Veh icle battery powe r using a DC­to-AC inverter (not supplied)

Using Batteries

You can power the CD-3319 from nine
D batteries (not supplied). For the best
results, we recommend alkaline batter­ies (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-

550).

1. Press the two latches on the bat­tery compartment cover and pull
out the cover to remove it.

2. Place the nine D batteries in the
compartment as indicated by the
polarity symbols (+ and –) marked
next to the battery compartment.

Caution:

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the

required size and type.

• Never mix old with new batter-

ies.

• If you do not plan to use the

batteries in the CD-3319 for a
month or more, remove the bat­teries to protect the CD-3319
from possible battery leakage.

7

14-543.fm Page 8 Wednesday, June 30, 1999 3:52 PM

3. Replace the battery compartment
cover.

Cautions:

• If the CD-3319 does not operate
properly or if the sound wea kens
or distorts, replace the batteries.

• Always dispose of the old bat ter­ies promptly and properly.

• Never leave dead, old, or weak
batteries in the CD-3319. They
can leak chemicals and corrode or
damage electronic circuits.

Using Your Vehicle’s Battery

You can power the CD-3319 from
your vehicle’s battery using a DC-to­AC inverter (Cat. No. 22-132, no t sup­plied).

Cautions:

meet these specifications could
damage the CD-3319.

1. Plug the supplied power cord into

AC IN~

the

jack on the back of t he

CD-3319.

2. Plug the AC power cord into the
power inve rter’s AC jac k .

3. Plug the power inverter into your
vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket.

4. Turn on the power inverter.

• To protect your vehicle’s electrical
system, always plug the AC power
cord into

AC IN~

and the inverter
before you plug the inverter into
the cigarette lighter socket.
Always turn off the inverter and
unplug it from the cigarette light er
socket before you unplug the AC
power cord from

AC IN~

and the

inverter.

• The recommended inverter sup­plies 120 volts AC power and
delivers at least 315 milliamps.

Note: If the CD-3319 does not oper­ate properly when you use the inve rt­er, unplug the inverter from the
cigarette lighter socket and clean the
socket to remove ashes and debris.
Also, check the AC power cord for
proper connection. If it still does not
operate properly, check the fuse in the
inverter.

USING HEADPHONES

For private listening, you can connect
a pair of stereo headphones (not sup­plied) with a

To connect the headphones, insert the

/8-inch plug. Your local

/8-inch plug into the

jack.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use headphones.

• Set the volume to the lowest set­ting before you begin listening.
After you begin listening, adjust
the volume to a comfortable level.

• Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended high­volume listening can lead to
permanent hearing loss.

• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a
volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your
hearing.

Traffic Safety

Do not wear headphones while oper­ating a motor vehicle or riding a bicy­cle. This can create a traffic hazard
and is illeg al in s ome areas.

Even though some headphones are
designed to let you hear some outsi de
sounds when listening at normal vol­ume levels, they s till present a traffic
hazard.

CD CARE TIPS

Even though a compact disc is very
durable, treat the CD surface with
care. We recommend the following
precautions:

• Keep CDs dry. A water drop can
act as a lens and affect the laser
beam’s focus.

• Always handle a CD by the edges
to avoid getting fingerprints o n t he
CD and always keep it in its pro­tective case or sleeve when not in
use. Fingerprints and scratches
on the CD’s surface can prevent
the laser beam from correctly
reading the digital information. To
clean the CD surface, use a CD
Cleaner Kit (such as Cat. No. 42-

225).

• If you move the player from a c ol d
place to a warmer one, moisture
might condense on the pickup
lens, preventing proper disc play.
If this happens, wait 2 hours
before attempting to operate it
again.

• Do not place anything but a CD in
the disc tray. This can damage the
drive mechanism.

• Do not write on either side of the
CD, particularly the non-label
side. (Signals are read from the
non-label side.)

• Do not store CDs in high-tempera­ture, high-humidity locations. The
CDs might warp.

RECORDING ON A

You can record from the CD player,

to a cassette tape.

Notes:

• Before recording, be sure the
erase-protection tabs are in place
on the cassette tape you are
recording onto (see “Preventing
Accidental Erasure”).

• Tape quality greatly affects the
quality of the recording. We rec­ommend regular length (60- or 90­minute) cassette tapes. We do not
recommend long-play cassette
tapes such as C-120s because
they are thin and easily tangle.
For low-noise, wide-range record­ings, use normal-bias tape.

TAPE CARE TIPS

Preventing Accidental
Erasure

Cassette tapes have two erase­protection tabs — one for each side.
To protect a recording from bein g ac­cidentally recorded over or erased,
use a screwdriver to remove one or
both of the cassette tape’s erase-pro­tection tabs.

Notes:

• If you want to record over a tape
side after you have removed the
erase-protection tab, place a
piece of strong plastic tape over
that side’s erase-protection hole.

Erasing a Cassette Tape

If you no longer want a recording, you
can record over it or erase it.

To erase a previously recorded t ape,
you can either:

• Record silence by setting
to

TA PE

or CD (with no CD

RECORD

TION

loaded) and press
the tape deck.

• Use a bulk tape eraser (such as

Radio Shack Cat. No. 44-232, not
supplied) available at your local
Radio Shack store.

Resto r ing Tape Tension and
Sound Quality

After you play a cassette tape several
times, the tape might become tightly
wound on the reels. This can cause
playback sound quality to deteriorate.

To restore the sound quality, fast­forward the tape from the beginning to
the end of one side, then completely
rewind it. Then loosen the t ape reels
by gently tapping each side of the cas­sette’s outer shell on a flat surface.

• Removing the erase-protection
tabs does not prevent a bulk
eraser from erasing a cassette
tape.

Caution:

the cassette when tapping it. Do not
touch the exposed tape or allow any
sharp objects near the cassette.

Be careful not to damage
