Useful Advice  
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.

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.  
Upon unpacking the unit, you should find the music  
management software - MusicMatch Jukebox  
enclosed. Insert the software disc into your comput-  
er and click on “MusicMatch User’s Guide” if you  
need assistance on installation of the software and  
creating mp3 discs for your enjoyment with this  
unit.  
Close the window that asks you to Get your Plus  
Upgrade Key Now.  
Creating a CD  
After placing tracks in the playlist, click Burn on the  
top menu bar.  
You need the latest MMJB Software to enjoy all the  
features.  
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.  
Note: You are limited to only burning a certain  
number of CDs. Upgrade to MusicMatch Plus  
to get unlimited burning.  
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.  
CD-R / RW  
This unit is compatible with  
CD-RW/ CD-R discs for play-  
back.  
To check which version of MusicMatch Jukebox you

Notes on CD-R/RW Disc:  
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.  
• Do not affix any type of labels to either side  
(recordable or labeled side) of a CD-R/RW disc as  
this may result in the unit malfunctioning.  
• To avoid damages to the CD-R/RW disc, do not  
open the disc compartment door while the disc is  
being read.  
• Do not load an unrecorded CD-R/RW disc into  
the unit. This may take a longer time to read the  
disc.  
Update MusicMatch Jukebox  
Once you have installed the MusicMatch Jukebox  
software included with your unit, follow the steps  
below to update your software version.  
~ 10 CDs  
• Playback capability for CD-RW discs may  
vary due to variations in the quality of the  
CD-RW disc and the recorder used to create  
the disc.

Cleaning CDs  
Safety Precautions  
• Never open the cabinet under any circumstances.  
Any repairs or internal adjustments should be made  
only by a trained technician.  
• Never operate this product with the cabinet  
removed.  
EN  
EN  
• Dirty CDs can cause poor sound quality. Always  
keep CDs clean by wiping them gently with a soft  
cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perime-  
ter.  
• If a CD becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water,  
wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and  
then remove any water drops with a dry cloth.  
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic  
agents on CDs. Also, never clean CDs with benzene,  
thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause  
damage to disc surface  
Cleaning  
Clean the exterior of the system using a soft dust  
cloth.  
•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.  
• Keep your unit away from humid areas and  
abnormally hot places.  
• Do not touch the player with wet hands. If any  
liquid enters the player cabinet, take the player to a  
trained technician for inspection.  
• This compact disc player uses a laser to read the  
music on the disc. The laser mechanism corresponds  
to the cartridge and stylus of a record player.  
Although this product incorporates a laser pick-up  
lens, it is completely safe when operated according  
to directions.  
• Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not  
use damaged, warped, or cracked discs.  
• Do not touch the pick-up lens which is located  
inside the disc compartment. To keep dust from col-  
lecting on the pick-up lens, do not leave the com-  
partment door open for an extended period of time.  
If the lens becomes dirty, clean it with a soft brush, or  
use an air blower brush designed for camera lenses.  
• The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping  
and splashing.

experts warn against extended high-volume play.  
• If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce vol-  
ume or discontinue use.

tions.

Handling CDs  
CD Lens Care  
• Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold CDs by the  
edges, or by one edge and the hole. Do not affix  
labels or adhesive tapes to the label surfaces. Do not  
scratch or damage the label. CDs rotate at high  
speeds inside the player. Do not use damaged  
(cracked or warped) CDs.  
When your CD lens gets dirty it can also cause the  
system to output poor sound quality. To clean the  
lens you will need to purchase a CD lens cleaner  
which can maintain the output sound quality of your  
system. For instructions on cleaning the CD lens,  
refer to the ones accompanying the lens cleaner.
