13-1317 OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.
Thank you for purchasing the RadioShack Mini Stereo System. Its novel motorized, rotating
unit-face makes loading CDs and tapes easy and fun. The 2 ×2-way speaker box gives you
high quality sound effects. The stereo not only includes a CD player, tape deck and AM / FM
tuner, but also an alarm clock (J?C;H
J?C;HJ?C;H
J?C;H) with sleep and snooze-control features. The supplied
30-key infrared remote control can operate the system from across the room. The tuner
features 20-station memory, allowing you to store up to 20 radio stations (10 FM and 10 AM)
in memory, so you can quickly turn to a stored station. The tuner also uses PLL (Phase Lock
Loop) Digital Automatic Seeking, which searches forward or backward to the next strong
station in the selected band so you can quickly find new stations. The CD player has
programmable play, so you can play up to 20 tracks in any sequence you choose.

If your stereo is not performing as it should,
take it to your local RadioShack store for

Even though a compact disc is durable, treat
the CD surface with care.
• Do not write on either side of the CD,
particularly the non-label side (signals
are read from the non-label side).
• Do not store CDs in high temperature or
high humidity areas. They might warp.
• Keep CDs dry. A water drop can act as
a lens and affect the laser beam's
focus.
Always handle a CD by the edges to avoid
fingerprints and always keep it in its
protective case or sleeve when it is not in
use. Fingerprints and scratches on the CD's
surface can prevent the laser beam from
correctly reading the digital information. If
the CD gets scratched, use RadioShack
Scratch 'n Fix to repair the disc.

After you play a cassette tape several times,
the tape might become tightly wound on the
reels. This can cause playback sound
quality to deteriorate.
To restore the sound quality, fast-forward
the tape from the beginning to the end of
one side, then completely rewind it. Then
loosen the tape reels by gently tapping each
edge of the cassette on a flat surface..

To record over a cassette tape, simply
record as usual. The cassette deck records
over the previous recording.

Cassette tapes have two erase-protection
tabs — one for each side. When a tab is in
place, you can record on that side.
To prevent accidental erasure of a recorded
tape, use a screwdriver to remove one or
both of the cassette tape’s erase-protection
tabs. This prevents RECORD from
engaging..
..
.
If you later decide to record on a tape side
after you have removed the erase-protection
tab, place a piece of strong plastic tape over
that side’s erase-protection hole. Be sure
you cover only the hole originally covered by
the erase-protection tab.
