CONNECTING POWER
You can power your CD-3321 from any of three power sources:
Internal batteries
Standard Ac power (with the supplied power cord)
Your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket (with an optional DC adapter)
NOTE: Connecting the power cord or an optional DC adapter disconnects the
internal batteries.
USING BATTERIES
You need eight D batteries (not supplied) to power the CD-3321. We
recommend alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-550.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Remove the battery compartment cover by pushing the cover's two tabs
in the direction of the arrows.
2. Insert eight D batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and
-) marked inside the bottom of the battery compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
NOTE: If you do not plan to use the system for several days, or if you
plan to power the system using AC or DC power only, remove the
batteries.
USING AC POWER
To use AC power, plug the supplied power cord into the AC 120V 60 Hz jack
on the back of the CD-3321. Then plug the other end into a standard AC
outlet.
CAUTION: Always unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before you
unplug it from the CD-3321.
USING YOUR VEHICLE'S CIGARETTE-LIGHTER SOCKET
To power the CD-3321 from your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket, you
need a DC adapter (not supplied), such as Cat. No. 270-1528.
CAUTIONS:
You must use a DC cigarette-lighter adapter that supplies 12 volts
and delivers at least 1 amp. Its center tip must be set to positive,
and its plug must correctly fit the CD-3321's DC 12V jack. The
recommended adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter
that does not meet these specifications could seriously damage the
CD-3321 or the adapter.
Unplug the adapter from your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket when
you turn off the ignition. This prevents your vehicle's battery from
being drained if you leave the CD-3321 on when you turn off the
ignition.
Always plug the DC adapter into the CD-3321 before you plug it into
your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket, and unplug the adapter from
your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket before you unplug its barrel
plug from the CD-3321.
Insert the DC adapter's 5.5 outer diameter/2.1 inner diameter barrel plug
into the DC 12V jack on the back of the CD-3321, then plug the DC adapter
into your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket.
NOTE: If the CD-3321 does not operate when you turn it on, remove the DC
adapter from your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket and check the
socket for debris. Also check the fuse in the adapter and your
vehicle's fuse block.
USING HEADPHONES
For private listening, plug a pair of optional headphones with a 1/8-inch
plug into the PHONES jack. Your local RadioShack store has a wide
selection of headphones.
LISTENING SAFELY
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.
Set the volume to its lowest setting before you begin listening.
After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable
listening level.
Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time your ears
adapt to the listening level, so a volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your hearing.

2. Set FUNCTION to TUNER.
3. Set BAND to AM, FM, or FM STEREO.

in stereo, the FM STEREO indicator lights.
To improve reception for weak FM stations, set BAND to FM. The sound
is no longer in stereo, but reception should improve.
5. Adjust VOLUME to a comfortable listening level.

CD AND CD PLAYER CARE TIPS
Although a CD is very durable, you should handle it with care. We
recommend the following precautions.
Keep the CD in its protective case or sleeve when you are not playing
it.
Keep the CD clean. Your local RadioShack store sells a suitable CD
cleaner kit.
Keep the CD dry. A drop of moisture can act as a lens and affect the
laser beam's focus. If it gets wet, wipe the CD with a soft, dry
cloth before playing it.
Do not write on either side of a CD, especially the non-label side.
Handle the CD by its edge to avoid fingerprints and surface scratches,
which can prevent the laser from accurately reading the CD. To clean
the surface, use a CD Cleaner Kit (such as Cat. No. 42-226) or Scratch
'n Fix (cat. no. 42-127).
Do not store CDs in high-temperature, high-humidity locations.
If the CD-3321 is subjected to a sudden shock of jolt during play, the CD's
rotation speed might suddenly change, and the music might be briefly
interrupted or the current track might start over. This is not a
malfunction.
CAUTIONS:
To avoid damaging the CD player, do not place anything but a CD in the
CD compartment.
Remove any loaded CD from the CD player before moving the CD-3321 to
prevent damaging the CD.
Moving the CD 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 2 hours for the moisture to evaporate before
playing a CD.
USING THE CASSETTE PLAYER
You can play your favorite cassette tapes and make recordings with the CD
3321's cassette decks.
LOADING A CASSETTE TAPE
Follow these steps to load a cassette tape in Tape 1 or Tape 2.
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. Press STOP/EJECT to open the cassette compartment door.
3. Load a cassette tape with the side you want to play facing you, the
exposed tape edge down, and the full reel to the left.
4. Close the compartment door.
PLAYING A CASSETTE TAPE
You can play a cassette tape in either Tape 1 or Tape 2, or you can load
cassette tapes in both decks and play them consecutively.

RECORDING
You can record from the CD player, radio, or another tape.
NOTES:
The CD-3321'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- or 90-minute) cassette tapes. We do not
recommend long-play cassette tapes such as C-120s because they are
thin and can 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.
Before recording, be sure the erase-protection tabs are in place on
the cassette tape you are using to record. See "Preventing Accidental
Erasure".
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.
