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 CD in high-temperature, high-humidity locations.
If the CD-3327 is subjected to a sudden shock or 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-3327 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 from the
radio or CD player.
Loading 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. Press STOP/EJECT to open the cassette compartment door.
3. Load a cassette tape in the cassette compartment door with the side
you want to play facing you, the exposed tape edge down, and the full
reel to the left.

Recording
You can record from the CD player or radio.
Notes: The CD-3327'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" below.
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.

Tape Tips
Erasing a Cassette Tape
If you no longer want a recording, you can record over it or erase it. To
record over a cassette tape, simply record over the previous recording.
To erase the entire cassette tape, let the tape record to the end with
FUNCTION set to TAPE.
You can quickly erase both sides of a cassette tape using a bulk tape
eraser, available at your local RadioShack store.
Preventing Accidental Erasure
Cassette tapes have two erase protection tabs, one for each side. To
protect a recording from being accidentally recorded over or erased, use
a screwdriver to remove one or both of the cassette tape's erase
protection tabs.
Note: Removing the erase protection tabs does not prevent a bulk eraser
from erasing a cassette tape.
If you want to record on a tape side after you have removed the erase
protection tab, place a piece of strong plastic tape over that side's
erase protection hole. Be sure you cover only the hole originally covered
by the erase protection tab.
Restoring Tape Tension and Sound Quality
After playing a cassette tape several times, the tape might become tightly
wound on the reels. This can cause playback sound quality to deteriorate.
To restore the sound quality, fast-forward the tape from the beginning to
the end of one side, then completely rewind it. Then loosen the tape
reels by gently tapping each side of the cassette's outer shell on a flat
surface.
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage the cassette when tapping it. Do not
touch the exposed tape or allow any sharp objects near the
cassette.
