PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from moving
when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating rubber material
specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However
certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may
cause the 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To
prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small
self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers
everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the
product on fine wooden furniture.

DEAR STUDEBAKER® CUSTOMER
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level.
One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion and,
most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against
this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
Start your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without
distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future.
After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For a Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment.
Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this
manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group
recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Customer's Record:
The serial number of this product is found on its back cover. You should note the serial
number of this unit in the space provided as a permanent record of your purchase to aid
in identification in the event of theft or loss.

device and enable the search or scan feature to find “SB6085” in the list of
discoverable Bluetooth devices. Select the “SB6085” from your available device list
when it appears on its screen and a brief welcome melody will be heard if pairing
and connection is successful. If you are asked for a password, enter “0000”.
4. If no successful pairing and connection is made within 5 minutes, the unit may enter
manual pairing mode. You need to press and hold the PAIR button until Bluetooth

process again.
The Bluetooth function of the unit will remain paired unless the paired device goes
out of range of 30 feet (10 meters). If the broken link is re-established within 30
seconds, the SB6085 will reconnect to the current paired device automatically.
Otherwise you will need to make a manual connection again later.
You may need to turn off the Bluetooth function of the paired external device first
before you make a new link.
Refer to manual of your smartphone or external Bluetooth enabled device for correct
Bluetooth operation instructions since it may vary from model to model.
If your Bluetooth enabled device does not support A2DP, it will not play the music
through the SB6085 system even after it is paired and connected successfully.
If you are pairing and connecting your personal computer to the SB6085 using
Bluetooth, you may need to set the SB6085 as your computer’s default sound
device.

E-12
RE-LINKING TO A SMARTPHONE OR BLUETOOTH ENABLED DEVICE
Even if your smartphone or Bluetooth device is already paired with the SB6085 and with
both Bluetooth functions turned on, they can become unlinked at some point due to
intentional manual disconnection or undesirable external signal interferences or
over-range for more than 10 seconds. If this happens, the unit will emit two short beeps.

the speakers will be disconnected.
READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR HEADPHONES
1. Avoid extended play at very high volume as it may impair your hearing.
2. If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or shut off your unit.

E-13
3. Keep the volume at a reasonable level even if your headset is an open-air type
designed to allow you to hear outside sounds. Please note that excessively high
volume may still block outside sounds.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust or extreme temperature.
2. Do not tamper the internal components of the unit.
3. Clean your unit with a dry cloth. Solvent or detergent should never be used.
4. Avoid leaving your unit in direct sunlight or in hot, humid or dusty places.
5. Keep your unit away from heating appliances and sources of electrical noise such as
fluorescent lamps or motors.
6. Always clean the outside of the cabinet thoroughly if it becomes wet with moisture or water
splashes. This will help to protect the internal parts of the unit from entry of water and
possible moisture damage.
RECORD CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To ensure the best sound and the least amount of wear on your records, it’s essential that they
are kept clean. Make sure your records, especially older ones, are sufficiently cleaned prior to
playing them.
Thoroughly clean dust off the stylus and record regularly.
Use a soft brush to clean the stylus. Brush from the base to the tip as shown below.
For records with only light amounts of dust, we recommend brushing them off with a carbon
fiber brush or velvet pad before playing them. Use a good quality record cleaner and brush
set to keep your records clean. Carbon fiber brushes, velvet pads and record cleaning kits
are available online or in local record stores.
Using a mild dish soap and warm water for washing your records will also help remove
excess dirt and dust that builds up over the years. Use a microfiber cloth when washing and
wiping off any excess water from the records once they have been cleaned
NOTE:
Remember, the best cleaning in the world just removes all the dust and dirt. Some

E-14
records will have scratches and groove wear. No amount of cleaning will fix this. So after
cleaning, some records may sound “perfect” and others may not
COMPACT DISC CARE
Handle the disc only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to come in contact with the shiny,
unprinted side of the disc.
Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers etc., to the disc label.
Clean the disc periodically with soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or adhesive
cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
If disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).
When cleaning the disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the disc to the edge of the
disc. Never wipe in circular motions.
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc
outs, holding it carefully by the edges.
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's recorded surface with a soft
cloth. Unlike conventional records. compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and
microscopic debris so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles.
CLEANING THE UNIT
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when
cleaning.
The finish on the unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture, Use
caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.
If the cabinet becomes dusty wipe it with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use any wax or polish
sprays on the cabinet.
If the front panel becomes dirty or smudged with fingerprints it may be cleaned with a soft
cloth slightly dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Never use abrasive cloths or
polishes as these will damage the finish of your unit.
CAUTION: Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
