This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
In accordance with FCC requirements, changes or modifications not expressly approved by Thomson Consumer Electronics could void the
user’s authority to operate this product.
This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF) energy, and if not installed and used properly, this equipment may cause interference
to radio and television reception.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by

• Reorient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the radio or television that is "receiving" the interference).
• Move the unit away from the equipment that is receiving interference.
• Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that the unit and the equipment receiving interference are on different branch
circuits.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced
radio/television technician for additional suggestions.
Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, "How To Identify and Resolve Radio TV Interference Problems."

Useful Advice
Do not use your system immediately after
transporting it from a cold place to a warm
place, as condensation may cause the system to
malfunction. If moisture forms inside this
system, it may not operate properly. To correct
the problem, turn off the power and wait about
30 minutes for moisture to evaporate
This system is fitted with a laser. To avoid
accidents, it is to be opened by qualified
technicians only.
Never leave the tray open as dust could cover
the laser lens and/or the tray could be bumped
into accidentally
Do not place the system near wet areas such as
bathrooms and pool side. Avoid storing the
system at humid places or near abnormally
heated areas.
Power is continuously supplied to the system. To
disconnect power completely, unplug the power
cord from the power outlet.
Headset Safety
Do not play your headset at a high
volume. Hearing experts advise against
continuous extended play. If you experience a
ringing in your ears, reduce volume or
discontinue use. You should use extreme caution
or temporarily discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations. Even if your headset is an
open-air type designed to let you hear outside
sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that
you can’t hear what’s around you.
AC Power
Plug the power supply
cord into the AC power
jack on the back of the
unit, and into an AC
power supply outlet that
accepts the plug supplied with your unit.
Note: Look in the battery compartment to find
the AC power cord.
Battery Power
You can insert 6 D-sized
alkaline batteries (not
supplied) and you can
take your stereo just
about anywhere. 3 “AA”
batteries (not supplied)
are needed to keep
radio station memory.
Open the battery
compartment door on the back of the unit by
pressing down on the arrow and pulling out the
cover. Insert batteries in the battery
compartment.(See diagram)
Note that the AC line cord must be
unplugged from the jack on the back of
the unit to operate on batteries.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to remove batteries when
storing the set for more than 30 days. Leaky
batteries can badly damage the system. Always
return tape operatioin buttons to their off
position before storing. This will relieve pressure
on certain parts in the tape recorder that might
deform after long periods of time. Be sure to
dispose of leaky, weak or dead batteries
properly according to federal, state, and local
regulations. To prevent injury or damage, do
not reverse batteries and do not mix battery
type.

More information
Cassettes
• To protect your
recordings from
accidental erasure on one
or both sides of your
cassette, snap out the tab at the
top of the cassette. If you
decide later to record on the
tape, seal the hole with a piece
of adhesive tape. (Refer to diagram on the right)
• Quit Slacking - A little bit of slack
in your tapes can cause scratches on
the tape, or worse yet, the tape
could break. If you notice some slack
in the tape, use a pencil to tighten it
up before you insert it.
Cleaning the exterior
• Disconnect the system from AC power before
cleaning the exterior of the unit with a soft dust
cloth
• Clean the exterior with a soft clean cloth or
slightly moistened chamois leather. DO NOT use
solvents as it may cause damage to the unit.
Handling CDs
• Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold CDs by the
edges, or by one edge and the hole.
• Do not affix labels or adhesive tapes to the label
surfaces. Do not scratch or damage the label.
• CDs rotate at high speeds inside the player. Do
not use damaged (cracked or warped) CDs
• Make sure CDs are stored in their original case
after use. Keep them away from damp, humid or
abnormally heated places.
Cleaning CDs
• Dirty CDs can cause poor sound quality. Always
keep CDs clean by wiping them gently with a soft
cloth from the inner edge toward the outer
perimeter.
• If a CD becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water,
wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and
then remove any water drops with a dry cloth.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic
agents on CDs. Also, never clean CDs with benzene,
thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause
damage to disc surface.
The descriptions and characteristics in this owner’s
manual are for the purpose of general reference only
and not as a guarantee. In order to provide you with
the highest quality product, we may make changes or
modifications without prior notice. The English version
serves as the final reference on all product and
operational details should any discrepancies arise in
other languages.
CD Lens Care
• When your CD lens gets dirty it can also cause the
system to output poor sound quality. To clean the
lens you will need to purchase a CD lens cleaner
which can maintain the output sound quality of
your system. For instructions on cleaning the CD
lens, refer to the ones accompanying the lens
cleaner.
Precautions
• Never open the cabinet under any circumstances.
Never operate this product with the cabinet
removed. Any repairs or internal adjustments
should be made only by a trained service
technician.
• Do not touch the player with wet hands. If any
liquid enters the player cabinet, take the player to
a trained service technician for inspection.
• This compact disc player uses a laser to read the
music on the disc. The laser mechanism corresponds
to the cartridge and stylus of a traditional record
player. Although this product incorporates a laser
pick-up lens, it is completely safe when operated
according to directions.
Notes on CD-R/RW Disc
• CD-R/RW discs that are recorded using personal
computers or other CD-R/RW recorders may not be
played on this unit due to the difference in
recording platforms.
• Do not affix any type of labels to either side
(recordable or labeled side) of a CD-R/RW disc as
this may result in the disc malfunctioning.
• To avoid damages to the CD-R/RW disc, do not
open the disc compartment door while the disc is
being read. This may take more then 30 seconds.
• Do not load an unrecorded CD-R/RW disc into
the unit.
