This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF)energy, and if not installed and used properly, 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 FCCRules.
These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio and television
interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference 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 "receiving" 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 interference are on different branch circuits.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced
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 isavailable from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DO20402. Please
specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.
For Your Safety
The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider than the other) and only fits into AC power
_:__ outlets one way. If the plug won't go into the outlet completely, turn the plug over and try to insert
it the other way. If it still won't fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the outlet, or use a
different one. Do not attempt to bypass this safety feature.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRICSHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY
INSERT.

CONGRATULATIONS ON
YOUR PURCHASE...
Congratulations on the purchase of your new 5
DISCCHANGERCD PLAYER!
Unpack
Remove all items including packing materials
and wrappings from the pack We recommend
that you save the shipping carton and packing
materials in caseyou want to store, transport, or
ship the unit in future
•Your new purchase/gift includes these items:
• one 5 DISCCHANGERCD PLAYER,
• one remote control;
• one audio cable;
• one user's guide
Choose a Location
Follow the guidelines below when selecting a
place to put your player:
• Choose a level and solid surface. Don't place
it on a soft surface, such as carpeting or
foam rubber.
• Make sure the location is away from direct
sunlight, radiators, air ducts, and other
sources of heat.
Avoid locations that are subject to moisture,
mechanical vibration, shock, or excessive
dust.
As good ventilation is essential to protect the
CD player from internal heat build up, the
selected location should have adequate air
circulation.
Check for moisture
Moisture isyour CD player's worst enemy Do
take note of some of the following situations in
which condensation might form :
Immediately after a heater has been turned
on;
In a steamy or very humid room;
When the system is suddenly moved from a
cold environment to a warm, moist one; for
example, in moving the unit from a cool air
conditioned room to an outside porch on a
humid, summer day
If moisture forms inside this player, it may not
operate properly. To correct the problem, turn
off the power and wait about 30 minutes for
moisture to evaporate.

Connecting the CD Player
to an amplifier
Prior to or during connections, the CD player
should NOT be plugged to an AC power outlet.
1. Connect the cable's red plug to the CD
player's red (R) output jack. Connect the
white plug at the same end of the cable to
the white (L) output jack of the CD player.
2. Repeat step 1 above for connecting the other
end of the cable to an amplifier's (R)and (L)
output jack.
Note: If the amplifier does not have input
jacks labeled "CD", you can use input jacks
labeled "AUX" (Auxilliary).
3. Plug the power cord of the CD player into an
AC power outlet that accepts the polarized
plug (one blade wider than the other) or use
the AC outlet, if provided, at the back of
your amplifier.
4. If your amplifier is equipped with optical
input, connect it with an optical cable (not
supplied, available at general audio shops) to
your CD player to enjoy digital playback. By
connecting a CD recorder or MD deck to your
player with an optical cable (not supplied),
you can make a digital recording from your
CD player. Analog cable is no longer needed
once you have furnished the player with
optical cable settings.
IMPORTANT:The polarized plug is an improtant
safety feature. It will fit into the power outlet
only one way. If the plug won't go into the
outlet completely, reverse it and try inserting it
the other way. If it still won't fit, contact a
qualified electrician to change the outlet, or use
a different one. Do not attempt to bypass this
safety feature.
