FCC information
RCA Information (N. America)
This device generates and uses radio frequency
(RF) energy, and if not installed and used proper-
ly, this equipment may cause interference to
radio and television reception.
This equipment has been type tested and found
to comply with the specifications in Subpart J of
Part 15 of FCC Rules. These rules are designed to
provide reasonable protection against radio and
television interference in a residential installa-
tion. However, there is no guarantee that inter-
ference will not occur in particular installations.
If this equipment does cause interference to
radio or television reception (which you can
determine by turning the equipment off and
on), try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient the receiving antenna (that is, the
antenna for the radio or television that is receiv-
ing the interference).
• Move the unit away from the equipment that
is receiving interference.
• Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so
that the unit and the equipment receiving inter-
ference are on different branch circuits.
If these measures do not eliminate the interfer-
ence, please consult your dealer or an experi-
enced radio/television technician for additional
suggestions.
Also, the Federal Communications Commission
has prepared a helpful booklet, "How To
Identify and Resolve Radio TV Interference
Problems." This booklet is available from the U.S.

• When you press PLAY (normal playback) while “>” is pointing to a folder, the unit
will start playback from the first song of that folder until the end of the disc. If the
folder contains no MP3 tracks, no song will be played. Repeat and shuffle playback of
a folder only limit to the tracks and subfolders in that selected folder.
• When converting audio files into MP3 for saving onto CD-R(W) or CD-ROM, use
.mp3 as the extension e.g. Song02.mp3. Do not use any other extension e.g. .doc, .pdf.
• Never use the .mp3 extension for other text or non-audio data files as this may
cause serious malfunction and harmful noise interference.
• Do not burn your disc into different sessions. Files from the second session will not
be played. It is highly recommended that you create your CD by writing only
once.
• Many common CD creator softwares can make files compatible for the system but
do not forget to finalize your disc after creation.
• Do not combine CD Audio and MP3 tracks onto a CD-R(W) or CD-ROM. The
player will only play CD audio tracks from mixed CD formats.
• For better quality in MP3 disc playback, the CD quality should be 128 kbps or above.
• For best results, we recommend MP3 disc bit rate from 64 to 256kbps. Nevertheless,
your unit may play tracks encoded in variable bit rate (VBR)

ESP MENU
> ESP ON

• ESP
1) ESP ON - enable ESP
2) ESP OFF - de-select ESP (You may switch off ESP when you play the
unit at a stable environment, e.g. connect to your audio system
through a line out cord for indoor use.)
(ESP = Electronic Shock Protection system prevents sound interrup-
tions when impacts or vibrations occur. It helps consuming less
power and increasing battery life. After many successive impacts, the
buffer might be emptied causing a brief sound interruption for the
memory to reload.)
Troubleshooting Tips
Refer to page in ( ) for details.
No power, does not work?
• Batteries may be inserted incorrectly.
(4)

place : there may be condensation prob-
lems.
• Do not use headphones while operat-
ing a motorized vehicle. It may create a
traffic hazard and is illegal in many
areas.
• Prolonged use of the CD player at full
volume can damage the user’s ear.
• Have a Blast- Just Not in
Your Eardrums. Make sure
you turn down the volume
on the unit before you put

sure control at 100dB maximum.
Battery Precautions
• When storing the unit or unplugging it
from the AC outlet for a month or more,
be sure to remove the batteries because
they may leak and damage the unit.
• Batteries may leak electrolyte if insert-
ed incorrectly, if disposed of in fire, or if
an attempt is made to charge a battery
not intended to be recharged.
• Discard leaky batteries immediately.
Leaking batteries may cause skin burns
or other personal injury.
• Dispose of batteries, according to fed-
eral, state and local regulations.
• Please respect the environ-
ment - Before throwing any bat-
tery away, consult your distribu-
tor who may be able to take
them back for specific recycling.
Handling discs
• Do not store
CDs in damp
areas.
• Do not expose CDs to high tempera-
tures.
• Do not touch the signal surfaces.
• Hold discs 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.
• Do not use damaged (cracked or
warped) discs.

More information
Never wipe the disc in a circular motion
since circular scratches are likely to occur
and could cause noise during playback.
• If a disc 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 discs. Also, never
clean discs with benzene, thinner, or
other volatile solvents which may cause
damage to disc surface
Disc lens care
• When your disc lens gets dirty it can
also cause the system to output poor
sound and visual quality. To clean the
lens you will need to purchase a disc lens
cleaner which can maintain the output
sound and visual quality of your system.
For instructions on cleaning the disc lens,
refer to the ones accompanying the lens
cleaner. (RCA disc lens cleaner recom-
mended)
This unit is compatible with
CD-RW/ CD-R discs for play-
back.
Notes on CD-R/RW Disc:
• CD-R/RW discs that are recorded by
personal computers or some CD-R/RW
recorders may not be played on this unit
due to the difference in recording plat-
forms.
• 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.
