Portable CD Player
(420-5067)                 Connections                Faxback Doc. # 40535


You can listen to your CD player by connecting stereo earphones or amplified
speakers to the player's PHONES jack, or by connecting the player's LINE
OUT jack to a home audio or auto sound system.  Your local RadioShack store
carries a variety of earphones, amplified speakers, cassette adapters,
cable adapters, and audio patch cables.

Notes:

If you use the CD player's PHONES jack, use the CD player's VOLUME control
(and the volume control of the amplified speakers) to adjust the volume.

If you use the CD player's LINE OUT jack, use the home audio or auto sound
system's volume control to adjust the volume.

CONNECTING EARPHONES

For private listening, plug a pair of stereo earphones with 1/8-inch plug
(not supplied) into the CD player's PHONES jack.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use earphones.

Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.  After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable 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 volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might
still damage your hearing.

Traffic Safety

Do not wear earphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle.
This can create a traffic hazard and can be illegal in some areas.

Even though some earphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening
at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.

CONNECTING AMPLIFIED SPEAKERS

To listen to your CD player through amplified speakers (not supplied), plug
the amplified speakers' 1/8-inch plug into the CD player's PHONES jack.

CONNECTING TO A HOME AUDIO SYSTEM

To listen to your CD player through your home audio system's amplifier/
receiver and full-size speakers, connect the supplied Y-cable's 1/8-inch
plug to the CD player's LINE OUT jack.  Then connect the Y-cable's phono
plugs to the CD, AUX, or TV audio LEFT and RIGHT input jacks on your
amplifier/receiver.  (If the jacks on your equipment do not match the plugs
on the Y-cable, check with your local RadioShack store for the proper cable
adapter.)

CONNECTING TO AN AUTO SOUND SYSTEM

You can connect your CD player to your stereo auto sound system in one of
three ways.

If your auto sound system has LINE IN jacks - plug the supplied Y-cable's
1/8-inch plug into the CD player's LINE OUT jack.  Then connect the 
Y-cable's phono plugs to your auto sound system's LINE IN input jacks.
(If the jacks on your equipment do not match the plugs on the cable, check
with your local RadioShack store for the proper cable adapter.)

If your auto sound system has a CD input jack - you need a stereo 1/8-inch
patch cable, such as Cat. No. 42-2387.  Connect one end to the CD player's
LINE OUT jack and the other end to the auto sound system's CD INPUT jack.

If your auto sound system has a cassette player - you need a CD-to-cassette
adapter, such as Cat. No. 12-1951.  Insert the adapter into your car's
cassette player just as you would insert a regular cassette.  Then connect
the CD-to-cassette adapter's cord into the CD player's PHONES jack.

You can mount your CD player in your car using a CD mounting bracket.  Your
local RadioShack store has a complete line of mounting kits.
