FCC Information  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital  
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide  
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This  
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed  
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio  
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a  
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television  
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is  
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver  
is connected.  
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following  
two conditions:  
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

PREPARATION FOR USE  
Unpacking And Set Up  
• Carefully remove the unit from the display carton and remove all packing material  
from the unit.  
• Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length.  
The FM Antenna is built in the AC power cord.  
• Place the unit on a stable, level surface, convenient to an AC outlet, out of  
direct sunlight, and away from sources of excess heat, dust, moisture, humidity,  
or strong magnetic fields.  
• Connect the plug to your AC outlet.  
Power Source  
This system is designed to operate on normal 120V 60Hz AC house current only.  
Attempting to operate this system from any other power source may cause damage  
to the system, and such damage is not covered by your warranty.  
Note:  
This unit has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. This  
plug will only fit into a matching polarized AC outlet. This is a safety feature to  
reduce the possibility of electric shock. If this plug will not fit in your AC outlet, you  
probably have an outdated non-polarized outlet. You should have your outdated  
outlet changed by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the  
plug, or use an adapter to make the plug fit into your outlet. This defeats the safety  
feature and could expose you to electric shock.

Protect Your Furniture  
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from  
moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating  
rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your  
furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives,  
or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a  
rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly  
recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware  
stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the  
bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

Playing Compact Discs  
Note: Although this CD player can read CD-R and CD-RW discs, in addition to  
normal CDs, however the playability of CD-R/RW discs may be affected by  
the type of software that was used to create the discs, as well as the quality  
and condition of the blank media you are using. 100% playability cannot be  
guaranteed. This is not an indication of a problem with the player.  
Raising And Lowering The CD Door

the door in the open position.  
• To close the door pull the door support bracket toward you to release it and  
lower the door.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Compact Disc Care  
• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case  
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.  
• Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface  
with a soft cloth.Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves  
to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should  
remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of  
the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on  
reproduction quality.  
• Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents  
or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.  
• Never write on or affix labels to the surface of compact discs.  
Care of the Cabinet  
You should care for the cabinet as you would care for any piece of fine furniture.  
When the cabinet becomes dusty wipe it with a soft, non-abrasive dust cloth. If the  
cabinet becomes smudged with fingerprints you may use any good quality  
commercial dusting and polishing spray cleaner, however avoid spraying the plastic  
or metal parts of this system. We recommend that you spray the cleaner on your  
dust cloth, not directly on the cabinet, to avoid getting any of the spray on the  
plastic or metal parts.
