touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the product.
Servicing — Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Damage Requiring Service — Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
•When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
•If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the product.
•If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
•If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the
product to normal operation.
•If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
•When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or having the same characteristics as the original part.

REMOTE CONTROL UNIT BATTERY INSTALLATION
Dry Cell Batteries
(not included)
(AA size x 2)
Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote
control, and insert the batteries, taking care to align the ª
and · polarities.
1 Control Cable
Incorrect use of batteries may cause leakage or
rupture.
Always follow these guidelines:
A. Insert batteries into the battery compartment
correctly matching the positive ª and negative ·
polarities, as indicated inside the compartment.
B. Never mix new and used batteries.
C. Do not mix different brands of batteries.
Notes:
• To prevent battery leakage, remove the batteries when
not using the remote control for more than one month.
If leakage occurs, carefully wipe away any battery fluid
inside the compartment, and replace the batteries with
new ones.
• Do not allow books or other objects to rest on top of the
remote control, since the buttons may be depressed,
causing faster battery depletion.
CAUTIONS REGARDING THE CD CHANGER
• Avoid placing the changer on heat-generating sources
such as amplifiers as doing so might affect performance.
• Install this compact disc changer as far away as possible
from tuners and TV sets as close proximity to such
equipment might cause noise or picture degradation.
Such noise may be particularly noticeable when an
indoor antenna is used. Use an outdoor antenna, or turn
off power to the compact disc changer.
• Place the changer on a level surface.
CLEANING THE CHANGER
To clean the changer, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For
stubborn dirt, wipe the changer with a soft cloth with a
solution of one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water, wring
well, then wipe off the dirt. Use a dry cloth to dry the
surface. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene or
thinner which might harm the changer.
STORING DISCS
• Store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding locations
with high heat or humidity, or extremely low temperatures,
such as inside a vehicle or in direct sunlight.
• Follow precautionary notes listed on disc labels.

CD LENS CLEANER
The changer’s pickup lens should not become dirty in
normal use. RadioShack offers cleaning kits for CD lens.
CLEANING AND HANDLING COMPACT DISCS
• Fingerprints or smudges on a CD’s surface might not
directly affect the recorded signals, but might cause
degradation of sound quality. Keep your discs clean by
wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge
toward the outer periphery. RadioShack offers a variety
of cleaning kits for CDs.
• If a disc becomes very dirty, wipe the dirt away gently
with a soft cloth moistened in water, removing any water
drops with another soft, dry cloth.
• When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces.
Hold by the edges, or by one edge and the center hole.
• Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the label surfaces.
Do not scratch or damage the label.
• Discs rotate at high speed inside the changer. Do not use
damaged, cracked, or warped discs.
• Do not play a CD with other than a circular shape as
malfunction might occur.
• Do not use CD accessories such as stabilizer protection
sheets, or protection rings as they might cause
malfunction.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on
discs. Do not clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other
volatile solvents, which might damage the disc.

Your changer can play discs which display these

'
Notes: It may not be possible to play unfinalized discs
which have very little recording time left on them.
Finalizing a CD-R or CD-RW disc means making a recorded
disc playable on an ordinary CD changer. To play CD-RWs,
the changer must be specifically compatible with CD-RW
discs.
When transporting your changer, remove all discs from the
rack. Turn off POWER, wait for OFF to disappear from the
display, then unplug the power cord.

jacks (CD or AUX) of the amplifier. Make sure the white
plugs are connected to the left (L) jacks and the red
plugs to the right (R) jacks.
• Do not connect the changer to the amplifier’s PHONO
jacks, as sound will be distorted and normal playback
will not be possible.
2 Connect the power cord to an AC wall outlet, making
sure the plug is inserted fully.
Note: If you connect the power cord to a “SWITCHED” AC
outlet on an amplifier, you will not be able to use the
changer’s memory function.
B Connecting the Optical Fiber Cable
Cautions:
• Insert the optical fiber cable plugs all the way into the
jacks.
• Do not to fold or crimp the cable. When coiling an
optical fiber cable for storage, make sure the diameter of
the coil is 5-7/8 inches (15 cm) or larger.
• Use an optical fiber cable with a length of 10 feet (3 m)
or less.
• Protect the optical fiber cable plugs
from scratches and dust.
• When the changer is not connected
using an optical fiber cable, be sure
to keep the protective dust cap
plugged into the optical digital
output jack at all times.

CONTROL IN jack on the CD changer’s rear panel to the
amplifier’s CONTROL OUT jack. This lets you control the
CD changer’s Play, Stop, Pause, Track/Disc Search and Disc
Change functions using the amplifier’s remote control.
Notes:
• For instructions regarding connections and operation,
refer to the operating instructions provided with your
stereo amplifier.
• When a control cable is connected to the changer’s
CONTROL IN jack, direct control of the changer with the
remote control is not possible. Operate the changer with
the remote control by aiming it at the amplifier.
• Be sure to connect both of the control cable’s plugs
securely to the CONTROL IN and CONTROL OUT jacks.
• Be sure to turn off the power of the amplifier before
connecting the power cord and output cable.
• When only the digital output is connected, the remote
sensor of the amplifier does not function. To operate it,
