CD PLAYER AND CD CARE

If the system is subjected to a sudden shock or jolt during play,
the CD's rotation speed might suddenly change, the music might be
briefly interrupted, or the current track might start over.  This is
not a malfunction.

Remove any loaded CD before you move the CD-3310.  Moving the CD-3310 with
a loaded CD might damage the CD.

Moving the player suddenly from a cold place to a warmer one can cause
moisture to form on the pickup lens and disrupt operation.  If this
happens, wait about 1 hour for the moisture to evaporate before playing a
CD.

Do not place foreign objects in the CD compartment.  Doing so can damage
the mechanism.

To clean your CDs, use a CD cleaner kit, available at your local Radio
Shack store.

Although a CD lasts indefinitely with normal use, we recommend the
following precautions:

    Treat the CD surface with care.  Handle a CD by the outer edge to
    avoid fingerprints.  In some cases, fingerprints and scratches on the
    CD's surface can prevent the laser from correctly reading the digital
    information.  Always keep the CD in its protective case when it is not
    in use.

    Keep CDs dry.  A drop of moisture can act as a lens and affect the
    laser beam's focus.  Remove moisture with a soft, dry cloth.  Be sure
    CDs are fully dry before you use them.

    Do not store CDs in high-temperature, high humidity locations.  The
    CDs might warp.

USING THE CASSETTE PLAYER

You can play your favorite cassette tapes and make recordings with the
CD-3310's cassette deck.

PLAYING A CASSETTE TAPE

1.  Take up any slack in the cassette tape by turning the hub with a
    pencil.  If you do not remove excess slack, the tape might become
    tangled in the record/playback mechanism.  Avoid touching the tape.

2.  Set FUNCTION to TAPE.

3.  Press STOP/EJECT to open the cassette compartment door.

4.  Insert a cassette tape with the side you want to play facing you,
    the exposed tape edge down, and the full reel to the left.

5.  Close the compartment door.

6.  Press PLAY.  The POWER indicator lights.

7.  Adjust VOLUME to a comfortable listening level.

    Note:  To enhance the bass sound, press E-BASS.

8.  Adjust BALANCE as needed.

9.  The tape automatically stops when it reaches the end.  To stop playing
    the tape before it reaches the end, press STOP/EJECT.  The POWER
    indicator turns off.

Using Fast-Forward and Rewind

Press FAST-F and REWIND to move the tape rapidly forward or backward.  The
tape automatically stops when it reaches the end.

Using Pause

Press PAUSE to temporarily stop play.  Press PAUSE again to resume play.

RECORDING A CASSETTE TAPE

You can record from the CD player or radio, or use an external microphone
to make a live recording.

Notes:  The CD-3310's Automatic Level Control (ALC) automatically adjusts
        the recording level.  VOLUME has no effect on recording.

        Tape quality greatly affects the quality of the recording.  We
        recommend regular length (60-minute or 90-minute) cassette tapes. 
        Long-play cassette tapes such as C-120s are not recommended
        because they are thin and easily tangle.  For low-noise, wide-
        range recordings, use normal-bias tape.

        Before you load a cassette tape for recording, turn the cassette's
        hub with your finger or a pencil to move the tape past its leader.

Caution:  If you try to record on a cassette tape that has had the erase-
          protection tabs removed, you cannot press down RECORD.  Do not
          force it, as this can damage the mechanism.

          Before recording, be sure the erase-protection tabs are in place
          on the cassette tape you are using to record.

          To temporarily stop recording, press PAUSE.  Press PAUSE again
          to resume recording.

           CUT at the back of the unit to the position that gives you
           the best sound quality.

Recording from An External Microphone

To make live recordings, you need an external microphone with a 1/8-inch
plug.  Your local Radio Shack store sells a wide variety of external
microphones.

Note:  The cassette deck automatically adjusts the sound level when you
       record from the microphone.  However, you should make a test
