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 antimicrobial headphones for group listening situatiuons.
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.

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.

Cassette Maintenance & Service Cleaning
The heads, capstan and pinch roller should be cleaned from time to time to prevent buildup of tape oxide,
which degrades performance.
1. Remove cassette tape before cleaning.
2. Clean the head of all visible, reddish-brown oxide with a cotton-tipped swab moistened with a methyl alcohol
or any solution specically manufactured for this purpose.
Caution: DO NOT scrape the head surface with hard, sharp or abrasive objects. This will permanently damage the heads.
3. Clean the pinch roller by scrubbing the surface of the roller with the moistened swab. Rotate the roller by hand
until the entire surface is clean.
4. Clean external case surfaces with a moist, soft cloth. Use only a mild detergent water solution.
Tape Head Demagnetization
It is recommended that the tape heads be demagnetized from time to time. This eliminates residual magnetism
which degrades sound reproduction and the recording function.
1. After cleaning the heads and capstan, place the demagnetizer several feet away from the cassette unit and
plug it into an AC outlet.
2. Follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions supplied with the demagnetizer.
