equipped with a polarized AC line plug
(a plug having one blade wider than
the other). This plug will fit in the pow-
er outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you cannot insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug still doesn't fit, contact
your electrician to replace your obso-
lete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug. If you
need an extension, use a polarized
cord.
Servicing — Do not attempt to ser-
vice this product yourself, as opening
or removing covers may expose you
to dangerous voltage or other haz-
ards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
Power-Cord Protection — Route
power-supply cords so they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed on or against them, pay-
ing particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the
product.
Damage Requiring Service — Un-
plug this product from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following condi-
tions:
• When the power-supply cord or
plug is damaged.
Nonuse Periods — Unplug the CD
changer’s power cord when you will
not use it for extended periods.
• If liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the product.
• If the product has been exposed
to rain or water.
Lightning — For added protection for
this product during a lightning storm,
or when it is left unattended and un-
used for long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will pre-
vent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.
• If the product does not operate
normally by following the operat-
ing instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the
operating instructions, as an im-
proper adjustment of other con-
trols may result in damage and
will often require extensive work
by a qualified technician to restore
the product to normal operation.
Overloading — Do not overload wall
outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles, as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

PREPARATION
Caution: Do not use the receiver/
amplifier’s PHONO inputs. Doing
so could damage the receiver/am-
plifier.
CONNECTING THE CD
CHANGER
Follow these steps to connect the CD
changer to your audio system and to
power.
4. Plug the CD changer’s power cord
into a standard AC outlet.
USING THE REMOTE
CONTROL
Installing Batteries
Your CD changer’s remote control re-
quires two AA batteries (not supplied)
for power. We recommend alkaline
batteries, such as RadioShack Cat.
No. 23-552, for the best performance
and longest life.
1. Select a location for your CD
changer that is near your receiver/
amplifier and a standard AC out-
let.
Caution: Do not place the CD
changer on top of the receiver/am-
plifier or any other component that
gets hot.
Cautions:
• Always use fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
Note: If you place the CD changer
near other audio components or
their wires, you might hear a hum
when you play a CD. To eliminate
the hum, move the components or
their wires.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable),
or rechargeable batteries of differ-
ent capacities.
2. Plug one end of the supplied au-
dio cable into the CD changer’s
LINE OUT L (left) and R (right) out-
put jacks, matching the red plug to
the red R jack and the white plug
to the white L jack.
1. Pull the latch on the battery com-
partment cover and lift it off.
illustration
3. Plug the other end of the cable
into the receiver/amplifier’s left
and right CD, AUX, or TAPE input
jacks.

42-5072.fm Page 9 Thursday, August 12, 1999 10:55 AM
2. Install the batteries in the com-
partment as indicated by the po-
larity symbols (+ and –) marked
inside.
Using the Remote
You can use the remote control for
any of the CD changer’s functions ex-
cept turning power on/off and opening/
closing the CD compartment.
For the best results, point the remote
control toward REMOTE SENSOR on
the front of the CD changer.
illustration
3. Replace the cover.
You can use the remote control up to
a distance of about 20 feet. If the re-
mote control operates erratically or
does not work, replace both batteries.
Cautions:
• Never leave dead or weak batter-
ies in the remote control. Batteries
can leak chemicals that can cor-
rode the control.
• If you will not be using the remote
control for a month or more, re-
move the batteries.

nism.
3. Press DISC SKIP until the desired
disc tray moves to the front. (Do
not touch the disc tray while it ro-
tates.)
PLAYING CDS
After you load CDs, follow these steps
to play them.
Warning: The CD-8250 has a wide
dynamic range. If you set your amplifi-
er’s volume too high during soft (low

damage your headphones, speakers,
or hearing when a sudden loud pas-
sage occurs.

TROUBLESHOOTING
With proper care and handling, your CD changer should give you years of trouble-

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Optimus CD-8250 5-Disc Compact Disc Changer is an example of superior
design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for the CD
changer so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the CD changer dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liq-
uids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the CD changer only in normal temperature environ-
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic de-
vices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Handle the CD changer gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage
circuit boards and cases and can cause the CD changer to work im-
properly.
Keep the CD changer away from dust and dirt, which can cause pre-
mature wear of parts.
Wipe the CD changer with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it look-
ing new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong de-
tergents to clean the CD changer.
Modifying or tampering with the your CD changer’s internal components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to
operate it. If your CD changer is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.

CD CARE TIPS
THE FCC WANTS YOU
TO KNOW
Even though a compact disc is very
durable, treat the CD surface with
care. Here are some tips:
This system complies with the limits
for a Class B digital device as speci-
fied in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These
limits provide reasonable protection
against TV or radio interference in a
residential area. However, your sys-
tem might cause TV or radio interfer-
ence even when it is operating
properly.
• Do not place anything but a CD in
the disc tray. This can damage the
drive mechanism.
• Do not write on either side of the
CD, particularly the non-label side
(signals are read from the non-la-
bel side).
To eliminate interference, you can try
one or more of the following corrective
measures.
• Do not store CDs in high-
temperature, high-humidity loca-
tions. The CDs might warp.
• Reorient or relocate the TV or ra-
dio’s receiving antenna.
• Keep CDs dry. A water drop can
act as a lens and affect the laser
beam’s focus.
• Increase the distance between the
system and the TV or radio.
• Always handle a CD by the edges
to avoid fingerprints and always
keep it in its protective case or
sleeve when not in use. Finger-
prints and scratches on the CD’s
surface can prevent the laser
beam from correctly reading the
digital information. To clean the
CD surface, use a CD cleaner kit
(such as Cat. No. 42-225). If the
CD gets scratched, use Scratch ’n
Fix (RadioShack Cat. No. 42-
127).
• Use outlets on different electrical
circuits for the system and the TV
or radio.
Consult your local RadioShack store if
the problem still exists.

THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED
IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THE WRITTEN LIMITED WARRANTIES CONTAINED

Some states do not allow the limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion of in-

warranty service. Repaired or replaced parts and products are warranted for the remainder of the
original warranty period. You will be charged for repair or replacement of the product made after the
expiration of the warranty period.
This warranty does not cover: (a) damage or failure caused by or attributable to acts of God, abuse,
accident, misuse, improper or abnormal usage, failure to follow instructions, improper installation or
maintenance, alteration, lightning or other incidence of excess voltage or current; (b) any repairs
other than those provided by a RadioShack Authorized Service Facility; (c) consumables such as
fuses or batteries; (d) cosmetic damage; (e) transportation, shipping or insurance costs; or (f) costs
