BASIC OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

Many of the CD changer’s buttons also have a
corresponding button on the remote control, and you can
use either the CD changer or the remote control to control
the function.

To use the remote control, point it at the infrared sensor
on the front panel and press the control button.

When the remote control’s operating distance reduces or if
the remote control stops working, replace the batteries.

Note

: The remote operates the CD changer from up to 23

feet away and within 30º of the front of the CD changer.

LOADING CDS IN THE RACK

The multi-disc rack holds 100 CDs. The disc slots are
 numbered in clockwise order, from 1 to 100, and can hold
either 3-inch or 5-inch CDs.
Follow these steps to load up to 100 CDs in the slots.

Warning

: To protect your hearing, set the volume on your

receiver or amplifier to its lowest level before you load and
play a CD.

Caution

: Do not set the volume on your receiver or

amplifier too high while playing soft or quiet portions of a
music program. Due to the CD changer’s wide dynamic
range, the speakers might be damaged if the music program
includes a sudden loud passage.

Note

: Always handle CDs by their edges. Fingerprints and

scratches on a CD’s surface can prevent the laser beam from
correctly reading the digital information. For more
information, see “CD Care Tips” on Page 15.
