Thank you.........
For purchasing this Emerson Personal CD Player. It has a 24 track programmable
memory so you can listen to the songs on your favorite CD's in any order you
choose. Or you can use the Random playback feature and let the player select the
playback order for you. Use the 3-way Repeat feature to repeat a single track, the
entire disc, or a programmed sequence of tracks, indefinitely. We've also included
a 45 Second Electronic Anti-Skip Memory which makes this player virtually skip-
free under normal circumstances.
There's a Dynamic Bass Boost Control that increases and enhances the bass
response, and a set of lightweight stereo headphones that are so comfortable you
may forget you have them on. And finally, this player not only plays all professionally
recorded commercial CD's, but it plays recordable CD's (CD-R music discs) and
rewriteableCD's(CD-RWmusic discs) as well.So ifyou oryour friendsare "burning"
your own CD's on your computer CD-R drives, or on home audio type CD recorders,
you can be sure that they are playable on the CD Cruiser personal CD player from
Emerson.
Please read this instruction manual completely and carefully to make sure you
