AUTOMATIC STOP
To protect your cassette tapes and prevent unnecessary wear to the pinch roller of the
cassette mechanism, this unit is equipped with an Automatic Stop System. When the tape
ends during play, the CASSETTE PLAY
BUTTON (#8) will automatically release to stop the
cassette from running.
AUX IN OPERATION
This unit provides an AUX IN JACK (#25) for connecting external audio devices like MP3
players, CD players, smart phones and iPods (except iPod shuffle 3rd generation) to listen to
your external source through the speakers of this system.
1. You need an audio cable (not included) with one 3.5 mm stereo plug on each end of the
cable.
2. Plug one end of the cable into the AUX IN JACK (#25) located on the left-hand side of the
unit and the other end of the cable into the Line-out Jack or Headphone Jack of your
external audio device.
3. Turn on the external audio device.
4. Turn on the unit by setting the FUNCTION SELECTOR (#29) to CD/AUX position.
5. The volume level can now be controlled through the VOLUME CONTROL (#28) of the
unit. Operate all other functions on the auxiliary device as usual.
6. Set the FUNCTION SELECTOR (#29) to OFF/TAPE position to turn off the unit.
Notes:
•
If you connected the Line-out Jack on your external device then you only need to adjust
the volume control of this system. If you connected the Headphone Jack of your external
device then you may need to adjust both the volume control of your external device and
the volume control of this system to find the most desirable volume setting.
•
Remove the audio cable from AUX IN JACK (#25) when you finish listening. Don't forget
to switch off the power on your external device as well.
USING HEADPHONES (NOT INCLUDED)
Inserting the plug of your headphones into the HEADPHONES JACK (#26) will enable you to
listen to the CD, Radio or Cassette music in private. When using headphones, the Built-in
Speakers will be disconnected.
CAUTION:
•
Avoid excessive volume levels for long period of time when using the earphones.
Prolonged use at high levels may impair your hearing.
•
Keep the volume at a reasonable level even if your headset is an open-air type designed
to allow you to hear outside sounds. Please note that excessively high volume may still
block outside sounds.
