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

Once you set the volume, do not increase it. After time your ears
adapt to the listening level, so a volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your hearing.

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 the protective case or sleeve when you are not playing
it.
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.
Keep the CD clean. Handle the CD by the 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 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-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 from the
CD-3321's CD player or radio, or another tape 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.

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.

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-120's 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

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.
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.
