CD And CD Player Tips
Although a CD is very durable, you should handle it with care. We
recommend these 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.
Note: If the CD-3329 is subject 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
3329 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, unplug it and wait about 2 hours
for the moisture to evaporate before playing a CD.
Using The Cassette Recorder
You can play your favorite cassette tapes on either of the CD-3329's
cassette decks and make recordings on Tape 1.
Note: You cannot operate the tape deck using the remote control.
Loading A Cassette Tape
Follow these steps to load a cassette tape in Tape 1 or Tape 2.

pencil. If you do not remove excess slack, the tape could become
tangled in the record/playback mechanism. Avoid touching the tape.
2. Press STOP/EJECT to open the cassette compartment door.
3. Load a tape into the tape guides 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

Tape 2 (PLAYBACK 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-3329'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. Place "Preventing
Accidental Erasure" below.
If you want to skip an unwanted section during recording, you can
temporarily stop recording by pressing PAUSE on Tape 1 while the
unwanted section plays. To resume recording, press PAUSE on Tape
1 again.
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.
Recording from the CD Player

side you want to record on facing you and the full reel to the left.

Tape Tips
Erasing a Cassette Tape
If you no longer want a recording, you can record over it or erase it.
To erase the entire cassette tape, set the switch to TAPE and let the
tape record to the end without a tape in Tape 2.
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 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 taping it. Do not
touch the exposed tape or allow any sharp objects near the
cassette.
