your Tivoli Audio radio. See section marked “Connection Guide.”
2. MINI LINE OUTPUT:This jack accepts a 1/8” stereo male mini plug and may be used as a second output.
3. 11.5AC/12-16VDC: Connect the included external AC power supply to this input, or use an optional

Placement:
Your Model CD incorporates excellent shock protection, but it is not skip proof. We recommend you place your Model
CD on a flat, level surface that is not subject to vibration. Do not position the unit vertically. Lighting, static electricity,
and other electronic influences can affect the operation of the Model CD. If this occurs, turn the player Off, unplug it for
several minutes, reconnect the power and the player will return to normal operation. If the Model CD affects the recep-
tion of your Tivoli Audio radio or other tuner, keep it turned off when using the radio or increase the distance between
the radio and the Model CD.
Cleaning:
Never use any harsh cleansers or solvents or abrasive pads on your Model CD. The face may be cleaned with a soft
cloth. Take care not to rub too hard. For the wood cabinet, a liquid polish usually provides better results than spray-on
waxes. Note that since the cabinet is natural wood, there may not be an exact color/grain match between the Model
CD and other Tivoli Audio models. You may also notice the wood darken over time.
We do not recommend the use of lens cleaning discs, as these could permanently scratch the lens and void you war-
ranty. Other after market accessories such as CD stabilizing rings or mats may also damage your Model CD and void
you warranty.
Disc cleaning: Dirty discs can affect playback and sound quality. If a CD is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth.
Be sure no water remains on the disc prior to inserting in to the Model CD. Do not clean discs with record cleaner or
other chemicals. Discs with severe scratches may not play properly. Do not insert a cracked or warped CD. Do not
expose CD’s to long periods of direct sunlight or heat, or stack them outside of their protective jewel cases.
The Model CD plays CD and CD-R audio compact discs. Attempting to play other disc formats such as CD-RW, CD3
(3” CD singles), DVD, CD-ROM, DTS, MP3, or specially shaped audio discs will void your warranty and cause your
CD player to malfunction. If a disc becomes jammed inside the player and will not eject, contact your dealer for ser-
vice. Any attempt at removing the disc or repairing the unit yourself will void your warranty and may cause additional
damage.
