PREPARATION FOR USE  
REMOVE THE TRANSIT CARD  
This personal CD player is shipped with a dummy CD ‘transit card ‘ inside the CD  
compartment. The purpose of this card is to prevent the laser from moving during  
shipment of the product. This card must be removed before using the CD player.  
Slide the OPEN switch to the right to unlock the CD door. Remove the ‘transit card’  
from the player and discard it.  
POWER SOURCES  
This personal CD player is designed to operate on two “AA” batteries, not included.  
Use a well known brand of Alkaline batteries for longest life and best performance.  
This player can also be operated by with an optional AC/DC converter/adapter, not  
included. If you decide to purchase an optional AC/DC adapter the specification  
must be as follows:  
Input: 120V 60Hz AC  
Output: 4.5V DC, 500 mA.  
Plug: 1.7 mm Female Type with Positive Center, UL Listed.  
Negative (–)  
Positive (+)  
You may also purchase a “Universal” type AC/DC adapter which allows you to  
select the required output voltage and plug polarity, and normally includes multiple  
plug sizes to fit most brands of equipment. Always look for the “UL” listing mark  
when you purchase an adapter.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES  
Note: The battery compartment is located inside the CD compartment.  
1.) Slide the OPEN switch to the right to open the CD door. If you have not already  
done so, remove the dummy CD ‘transit card’ and discard it.  
2.) Press the battery door locking tab in the direction of the ‘Arrow’ to open the  
battery door. Lift the door upward as shown.  
+
3.) Insert two alkaline “AA” batteries in the battery compartment. Be sure to observe  
the polarity markings engraved in the battery compartment. If the batteries are  
inserted incorrectly the unit will not work.  
4.) Close the battery door, and push the battery door downward until you hear a  
‘click’ sound to lock the door again.  
5.) Close the CD door.  
REPLACING THE BATTERIES  
When the battery symbol  
appears in the display the batteries are becoming  
weak and should be replaced. Always replace both batteries at the same time with  
new fresh alkaline batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of  
batteries together.  
If the display remains blank when you press the PLAY/PAUSE button, the batteries  
are completely dead. Replace them immediately. If dead batteries are left inside  
the battery compartment for a long period of time they may leak and cause damage  
to the unit, and such damage or corrosion from leaking batteries is not covered by  
your warranty.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS  
HOLD Switch  
The HOLD switch on the bottom of the cabinet must be in the ‘Off’ (left) position to

HOLD  
(Off)  
After you begin CD playback you may also slide the HOLD switch to the ‘On’ (right)

Electronic Skip Protection (ESP)  
This CD player includes an Electronic Skip Protection circuit that continuously  
stores 60 seconds of CD music in an electronic memory. If the player is bumped  
or shaken you will not hear any skipping because the player is reading from the  
memory, not directly from the disc. Of course if the shaking continues for more  
than 60 seconds, the ESP memory will be depleted and the player may then skip  
or stop if the shaking continues.  
ESP memory function is automatically activated during playback. The display will  
show the ESP meter  
and begin to fill up with bars. Each bar represents  
approximately 12 seconds of music in the memory. When all 5 bars appear  
the memory contains 60 seconds of music. If the player is bumped or shaken one  
or more of the bars may disappear as the memory is depleted  
shaking stops the memory will fill up again.  
. When the  
To deactivate the ESP function, press the ESP button and the ESP meter will  
disappear in the display.  
Notes:  
• The ESP circuit draws additional current from the batteries. To extend the  
battery life leave the ESP circuit ‘Off’ when the unit is used in a stable location  
not subject to bumps and shakes.  
When the ESP circuit is switched ‘On’ or ‘Off’ the sound will be  
interrupted for 2 to 5 seconds. This is normal and not an indication  
of any problem with the player.

IMPORTANT:  
This CD player can play normal CDs plus CD Recordable (CD-R) and CD  
Rewriteable (CD-RW) discs. However the playability of CD-R and CD-RW discs  
may be affected by the type of software that was used in ‘ripping’ the tracks from  
the original discs and ‘burning’ the tracks onto the blank media. Playability may  
also be affected by the quality and condition of the blank media you use for  
recording. 100% compatibility cannot be guaranteed. This is not an indication of  
any problems with your player.

and open the CD door.

USING THE CAR CASSETTE ADAPTER  
Compact discs played in this unit can be heard through a car cassette deck by  
using the CD cassette adapter. When listening to a CD in the car, use the supplied  
CD cassette adapter to play a CD through a car stereo cassette deck.  
Operating instructions  
1) Insert the cassette adapter plug into the PHONES jack of the CD player.  
Note: Make sure that the cassette adapter plug is inserted into the PHONES  
jack as far as it will go. If the plug is not fully inserted, you may only hear  
sound from one of the car speaker.  
2) Adjust the CD player’s volume control to maximum level.  
3) Turn on the car stereo cassette deck, set the car stereo volume to a low level  
and insert the cassette adapter with the THIS SIDE UP markings facing upwards  
into the car cassette deck slot. The cord should be able to exit at the front of the  
cassette deck. If using an auto-reverse cassette deck, set the direction control  
as if playing the top side of the cassette adapter or the adapter will not work.  
4) Play the CD and adjust the volume of the car stereo. The CD player’s Volume  
control will affect the car stereo sound level.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
CLEANING THE CABINET  
Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dirty, dampen the cloth with a weak  
solution of neutral detergent and water, and then wipe clean.  
CLEANING THE LENS  
A dirty lens will cause sound skipping and, if the lens is very dirty, the CD may not  
work. Open the disc cover and clean the lens as follows:  
DUST OR DRY PARTICLES  
Using a camera lens brush/blower, blow on the lens  
several times, then wipe it lightly with the brush to remove  
dust. Then, blow on the lens once more.  
FINGERPRINTS  
To remove fingerprints from the lens, use a cotton swab  
starting in the middle and working to the outside edge.  
Use only very light pressure on the lens to avoid forcing  
it out of alignment.  
CLEANING THE DISC  
When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the  
center out.  
NOTE:  
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or  
anti-static spray intended for analog discs.
