You can listen to your CD player by connecting earphones/headphones or amplified speakers to the player's PHONES jack, or by connecting a home audio or autosound system to the CD player's LINE OUT jacks.

Note:  If the jacks on your equipment do not match the plugs on the sup-
       plied y-cable, check with your local RadioShack store for the
       proper cable adapter.

Connecting Earphones/Headphones

For private listening, you can plug a pair of stereo earphones or head-
phones wit ha 1/8-inch plug (not supplied) into the PHONES jack on the CD
player.

Listening Safely

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

  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 or headphones while operating a motor vehicle or
riding a bicycle.  This can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal
in some areas.

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

Connecting Amplified Speakers

You can listen to your CD player through optional amplified speakers (such as Cat. No. 40-1387).  Plug the speaker cable's 1/8-inch plug into the CD player's PHONES jack.

Connecting To a Home Audio System

You can listen to your CD player through your home audio system's ampli- fier/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 your audio system's left and right CD, AUX, or TV audio 
input jacks.

Connecting To An Autosound System

You can listen to your CD player through your autosound system in one
of the following ways:

  If your autosound system has LINE IN jacks, 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 your autosound system's LINE IN input
  jacks.

  If your autosound system has a CD input jack, connect one end of a 1/8-
  inch stereo patch cable (such as Cat. No. 42-2387, not supplied) to the
  CD player's LINE OUT jack.  Then connect the other end to your auto-
  sound system's CD INPUT jack.

  If your autosound system has a cassette deck, connect the supplied
  CD-to-cassette adapter's plug to the CD player's PHONES jack.  Then
  insert the adapter's other end into your cassette deck just like a
  standard cassette.

Note:  You can mount your CD player in your car using an optional mounting
       bracket.  Your local RadioShack store has a complete line of
       mounting brackets and hardware.
