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 oper-
ate 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.

Battery Power 

You can insert 6 D-sized alkaline batteries (not 
supplied) and you can take your stereo just about
anywhere. 
•  Open the battery compartment door on the bot-
tom of the unit by pressing down on the tab and
pulling out the cover. 
•  Before inserting the batteries, observe the 
polarities (that is, + and -) of the battery, then relate
the polarities to the engraved diagram inside the 
battery compartment. Insert batteries in the battery
compartment.  
Note that the AC line cord must be unplugged from
the jack on the back of the unit to operate on bat-
teries. 3 AA-sized batteries (not supplied) are need-
ed to keep radio station memory.

IMPORTANT

: Be sure to remove batteries when stor-

ing the set for more than 30 days. Leaky batteries
can badly damage the system.  Be sure to dispose of
leaky, weak or dead batteries properly according to
federal, state, and local regulations.

What’s so special about this audio CD / mp3 disc player?

Besides traditional audio CDs, this player is meant to play mp3 files encoded on a CD-ROM. You can store up
to 12 hours of music on a single disc (at 128kbps). 
Creating mp3 CDs requires the use of a computer with a CD-R / CD-RW writer and a music management soft-
ware (MusicMatch Jukebox recommended).
To fully enjoy the functionalities of your mp3 CD player, we recommend you to record your mp3 CD using 
folders and subfolders.
