Compact Disc & Player Care Instructions
In order to avoid sound degradation, the following instructions ought to be followed in caring for
compact discs.
• Always store discs in their cases when not being used.
• When storing, avoid locations with high or low temperatures or high humidity. Do not store in
direct sunlight.
• Keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge to the outer
periphery. If necessary, dip a soft cloth in water, and after wringing it out well, wipe any dirt away
gently and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any cleaners or liquids, other than water,
to clean discs.
• When handling a disc, grip the outside part of the the disc in order to avoid touching the signal
line.
• Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the surface of the disc or the label on the disc.
• Do not use compact discs with special shapes (such as heart-shaped or octagonal discs) as they
may damage the player.
Note:The CDC-3 will not play rewritable (CD-RW) discs, but will play recordable (CD-R) discs.
Connections
AUX Input Connections
The AUX input of the CDC-3 accepts a stereo cable with RCA plugs, thereby allowing the con-
nection of an additional audio source.Whenever the CDC-3 is not playing a disc, the CDC-3 will
play the AUX source.
The CDC-3 volume control only affects the level of the CD playback signal.The CDC-3 volume
control will not affect the volume level of the AUX source.
To match the volume level of the AUX source with the CDC-3, set the AUX source’s volume con-
trol (if it has one) and the amplifier volume to the desired level.Then, start the CDC-3 and adjust
its volume control until it is approximately at the same level as the AUX source and amplifier.
Output Connections
The CDC-3 provides both a stereo output and a mono output. Select whichever output is suit-
able for the particular installation. Connections are made using RCA cables.
