Other Features and Functions
Headphone Listening
Listening with Wired Headphones
Two headphone jacks are located on the Music Maker™ - a single 3.5 mm jack (26) on the top and one 1/4” phone jack (27)
on the rear of the cabinet. A jackbox can be plugged into either for multiple listeners.
Califone recommends using headphones for group listening situations.
Listening with Wireless Headphones
The Infrared Music Maker™ provides for an unlimited number of 34B-IR infrared headphone
listeners within its 15’ wireless transmission range. Six of these headphones come with the
6-person Wireless Listening Center (2395IRPLC-6) or can be purchased separately for use
with the 2395IR.
Infrared audio is line-of-sight transmission. There must be an unobstructed view from the
headphone to the Music Maker in order for reception to be heard. Audio signals are sent
through the air by an FM (frequency modulation) carrier. Since the transmission is from a light
source (LED, light emitting diodes) the system will not work in bright sunlight.
Suggestion:
Best reception for all infrared headphones is when listeners form a maximum
10-15’ semi-circle in front of the Music Maker™.
To transmit audio from radio, CD or tape simply switch (49) to infrared headphone and
transmission begins from the red IR domes (48). Both domes must remain uncovered in order to transmit.
Audio from speakers or to headphones
Audio will project from either the speakers
OR
to the wireless headphones - not to both at the same time.
Note:
The internal speakers and headphone jacks are disconnected in IR mode. Only Califone 34B-IR infrared headphones
must be used to receive the audio (purchased separately).
Note:
There is no limit on the number of headphones that can be used as long as there is nothing blocking
the transmission from the 2395IR.
Extension Speaker Jacks
Stereo extension speakers may be plugged into the 1/4” L (left) and R (right) speaker jacks (28) on the rear of the cabinet.
NOTE: WHEN EXTENSION SPEAKERS ARE PLUGGED IN THE INTERNAL SPEAKERS ARE DISABLED
Microphone Jack
To record using a dynamic microphone, plug into the 3.5 mm jack (29) on the rear of the cabinet. Another jack, 2.5 mm (30) is provided
for use with Califone model 4805AV microphone with remote Start/Stop.
RC-2300 Remote Control
• The RC 2300 provides most functions available on the Music Maker™ controls. It does not, however, function with tape operations.
•
INTRO
: One feature added to the remote is the Intro function. While in the CD mode press the ‘PLAY’ button, then press the
‘INTRO’ button. This will give a preview of each track for 10 seconds. Press the INTRO button again to resume normal play. If
the INTRO button is not pushed a second time, the preview will continue through the last track. Pushing PLAY, PAUSE or STOP
will not disengage the Intro function.
•
MUTE
: Mute is another feature added to the remote. It works with tape, AM/FM and CD functions.
•
10+
: This button allows you to jump forward a number of tracks rather than use the scan forward feature. From stop, pause
or play, pushing the 10+ button once will show a 1 and a flashing – (dash) see 1-. To jump to track 15 enter 5. To go to track
23 from track 6 press 10+ twice and see 2-. Enter 3 and jump to track 23.

’ buttons on the boombox.
- The ‘REPEAT’ button is the same as the ‘PRESET/REPEAT’ button on the boombox.
- The ‘TIME’ button is the same as the ‘PLAY TIME’ button on the boombox.
Care and Handling of Compact Discs
1. Handle the disc by its edges or center hole. To keep the disc clean, avoid touching the data surface.
2. Data is embedded directly beneath the label, protected only by a thin lacquer layer and is more vulnerable to damage than
the bottom. A scratch that penetrates the label will certainly destroy data, whereas a scratch on the bottom can often be
overlooked or corrected by the laser pickup.
3. Do not write on the label surface. A ballpoint will damage data; marking pens have solvents that may penetrate the top layer.
4. Do not stick paper or tape on the label surface; this probably won’t hurt the disc but might jam the disc drive.
5. Do not expose a disc to high temperature or humidity for an extended period of time. The disc material will soften at around 200
degrees Fahrenheit. Allow the disc to reach room temperature before playing if it has been subjected to extreme cold.
6. Preventive cleaning is unnecessary and potentially harmful. Clean only when required.
7. Clean a disc with a soft moistened cloth. Pat dry. Wipe the disc from the center out like spokes of a wheel. Never wipe across
a disc as you would an LP record.
8. Never use solvents, commercial cleaners or sprays designed for LP’s. Plain lukewarm water is recommended.
9. Keep discs protected at all times.
