PLAYING A CD

Your CD player can play standard 5 - or 3 - inch CDs that have this mark
on them.      "Compact
                Disc
            Digital Audio"

Follow these steps to play a CD.

1.  Set VOLUME to the minimum level.  Be sure OFF/RESUME/HOLD on the right
    side of the CD player is set to OFF.

2.  Press OPEN and lift the disc compartment cover.

3.  Carefully place the CD, label side up, over the disc compartment's
    center hub.  Press down slightly on the CD until it clicks and lies
    flat in the compartment.  Then close the disc compartment cover.

    The display briefly shows 00 00 00, then a flashing - -, then
    the display changes to the total number of tracks and total
    playing time on the disc.  After about 10 seconds, the CD player
    displays 00 then turns off.

4.  Press >|| (PLAY/PAUSE).  The CD player turns on and displays 00 00 00.
    The Track 1 begins to play.  The display shows the current track

    the following guidelines:

      If you connected earphones, amplified speakers, or a CD-to-cassette
      adapter to the CD player's PHONES jack, set the CD player's VOLUME
      to the desired level.

      NOTE:  The CD player's VOLUME control affects only the volume level
      you hear through the PHONES jack, not the volume level of the sound 
      you hear through the LINE OUT jack.

      If you connected the player's LINE OUT jack to your home audio
      system or your car's stereo, use the volume controls on those
      units to set the desired volume as needed.

      CAUTION:  To avoid speaker damage, set your audio system or car
      stereo's volume control to the minimum level before you play a CD.
