Polarized Plug

NOTE: Be sure to close door after you have ejected or inserted the
magazine. Dust or dirt can cause malfunctioning of the CD player.

FM Stereo / Mono: The system default setting is to the Stereo mode. If the station you are receiving is broadcasting
in Stereo you will see "Stereo" displayed in the lower right of the LCD display. However do to weak reception of 
some stations you may be able to improve the sound by switching to Mono. This will remove some of the background
noise. Press the Mon button located at the lower center of the control panel to toggle between Stereo and Mono
sound. NOTE: If the station is not broadcasting in Stereo, you will not see the word "Stereo" display in the LCD 
window and you will not notice any change in sound as you toggle the Mod button.

AMS ~ Auto Memory Store / Preset Scan Features: To automatically scan through your preset stations, press
the AMS button and hold for less than 2 seconds. This will start the automatic scan which will search through all
of the preset program positions. Example: If you are listening to band F 1 ch1, and press AMS, it will search the
six positions on F 1 then skip to F 2 and search all 6 positions then skip to F 3, etc. pausing for a few seconds 
on each program. When it reaches a program (station) that you wish to stop on, press AMS one more time to halt
the search. Also, if you wish to manually scroll through the preset programs you can "double click" the AMS button
to advance from one saved station to the next. The AMS can also search for and save the stations it finds as 
preset memory locations. To activate this feature, select any band mode, FM 1 through AM 2. Then press and 
hold the AMS button for more than 2 seconds. The system searches and stores the first six stations it finds in 
the preset memory locations for that selected band, (example, ifyou selected F 1 and started the search, it stored
the stations found as ch 1 through ch6 in band F 1). Press BND to advance to the next band and repeat the search
to store 6 more stations. Continue through all bands to store the maximum of 30 preset stations. NOTE: When 
you start the auto search, it will begin from the station you are currently set at. For example if you are at 101.3 
on the FM frequency, the search will begin there and search up through the FM frequency range until it finds the
first 6 signals.

volume levels. The LCD display will indicate "LOUD" when this feature is active. This feature can only be set by

more information.

CD OPERATION

Loading discs into the magazine
Pull out one tray at a time and place a CD on the tray with the CD label surface facing
up. Next, slide the loaded tray back into the magazine. Pull out the next tray and load
the second disc. Up to ten CD's can be loaded.
NOTE: Always keep the CD cartridge bay door closed, even as you have
unloaded the cartridge and are preparing to put new CDs into it. Keeping
the door closed will minimize the possibility of jamming the cartridge.
or see the warning in the 3rd picture below for more details.

To load the magazine into the CD player, slide the door to the right as shown
in the photos. Check to make sure that you have the magazine positioned
so that the top side is up and that it is pointed in the right direction for
installation. You should be able to see the writing and disc numbers on the
front after it is inserted.

NOTE: Always keep the CD cartridge bay door closed, even as you have unloaded the cartridge and are
preparing to put new CDs into it. Keeping the door closed will minimize the possibility of jamming the
cartridge.

Warning: When the CD cartridge bay is open do not put your hand or any other
object inside. There is a small button located on the left side, inside the cartridge
holder. That button is automatically positioned all the way to the right when the
cartridge is removed. If the button is moved to any other position it will cause the
cartridge to become permanently stuck when it is put back. This will mean you
cannot eject the cartridge. This is not a warranty repair and it may be necessary
 to have a technician remove the CD player and return it to us to be reset.

Push in until the magazine locks into place. When the magazine is used
for the first time, it will not lock into place unless the power supply has
been connected. You should hear the CD Player cycle and begin to load
a disc within a few seconds after the magazine is locked into place. To
eject the magazine, press the eject button as shown in the photo at left.

The picture above shows the inside of the CD cartridge bay as it looks with the CD magazine removed. The stuck
cartridge condition noted at right only occurs if someone has moved the button.

To Play a CD Using The Buttons on The Front Control Panel:

Push the Power button to turn the unit on.

Next press the MOD button on the center control panel to select CD mode. The LCD display will show
CdC. The system will automatically select and load the first disc. The current playing track will be
shown in center of the display screen. Example: T-01 for track number 1. The current playing Disc
number is shown in smaller red letters to the right on the LCD screeen.
