INSTALLATION
This CD player can be powered by either 2 “AA” batteries or an
AC adapter.
AC Operation
To operate the unit using AC power, connect an AC adapter (not
included) to the DC4.5V jack on the rear of the CD Player and to
a wall outlet having 120V, 60Hz AC only. The batteries are
automatically disconnected when the AC adapter is used.
NOTE: There is no AC adapter provided with this unit.
Battery Installation
Batteries need to be replaced when “LOW BATTERY” appears in
the display. Fresh Alkaline batteries will last
approximately 8 hours with a standard music CD
and 10 hours with an MP3 CD.
1. Open the battery compartment door on the
bottom of the unit by sliding it out and then
lifting it. To prevent the possibility of
losing the cover, it cannot be removed.
2. Insert two (2) “AA” batteries (not included)
according to the polarity diagram. Alkaline
batteries are recommended for longer
playing time.

2. If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the
batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible battery leakage.
3. Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they
can overheat and rupture. (Follow battery manufacturer’s directions.)

Playback Through a Home Audio System:
By using a home audio connection cable, superb CD sound can
be heard through your home audio system. Before making any
connections, turn off the power to all equipment.
Plug a connection cable (not included) between the LINE OUT
jack on the side of the CD player and the amplifier’s CD or AUX
input jacks. (Do not connect it to the amplifier’s PHONO jacks.)
NOTE: If the CD player interferes with TV or radio reception,

DBBS (Bass Boost System)
Slide this switch to the ON position to enhance the overall bass

Use your common Sense when using headphones:
• Hearing Safety: Do not play your unit at high volume. Hearing
experts advise against continuous extended play. If you experience
a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.
• Traffic Safety: Do not use while operating a motor vehicle. It may
create a traffic hazard and it is illegal in many areas. You should
use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations. Even if your headset is an open-air type
designed to let you hear outside sounds, do not turn up the volume
so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
