Using Headphones
To listen without disturbing others, connect a pair of 1/8-inch (3.5 mm)
plug stereo headphones (not supplied) to the CD-3339. Your local Radio
Shack store sells a wide selection of stereo headphones.
To connect headphones, plug the headphones into the (headphones symbol)
jack on the front of the CD-3339.

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

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 the CD gets wet, wipe it 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 edges to avoid fingerprints and surface scratches,
which can prevent the laser from accurately reading the CD. If the CD
gets scratched, use Scratch `n Fix (RadioShack Cat. No. 42-127) to keep
the CD from skipping during play.
Do not store CDs in high humidity, high temperature locations.
If the CD-3339 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. 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 compartment before moving the
system to avoid damaging the CD.
Moving the CD-3339 suddenly from a cold place to a warmer one
can cause moisture to form on the CD player's pickup lens and
disrupt operation. If this happens, unplug the CD-3339, then
wait about an hour before plugging it back in and playing a CD.
Cassette Deck Operation
The CD-3339's cassette deck lets you play cassette tapes or record from
the radio or CD player.
Note: You cannot operate the cassette deck using the remote control.
Loading a Tape
1. Take up any slack in the cassette tape by turning the hub with a
pencil. This prevents the tape from tangling in the tape mechanism.
(Avoid touching the tape with your fingers.)
2. Press STOP/EJECT []/\ to open the cassette compartment's door.
3. Insert the cassette tape into the guides on the door with the exposed
tape edge facing down, the side you want to play facing you, and the
full reel to the left.
4. Close the door.
Playing a Tape

Recording a Cassette Tape
Notes: The CD-3339's Automatic Level Control (ALC) feature automatically
adjusts the recording level.
VOL UP, VOL DOWN, and the E-BASS setting have no effect on the
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 in the cassette mechanism. For
low-noise, wide-range recordings, use normal-bias tape.
Before recording, be sure the cassette tape's erase-protection
tabs are in place. See "Preventing Accidental Erasure" below.
Recording from the Radio
Follow these steps to record onto a cassette tape from any AM or FM radio
station.
1. Press TUNER, then select the desired band and station.

lights, and the cassette deck starts recording.
Notes: To briefly stop the tape during recording, press PAUSE ||.

AM broadcasts sometimes produce a whistling sound that you can
hear while recording. If you hear this sound, try switching
BEAT CUT on the back of the system to the opposite setting.
4. To listen to the radio during recording, press VOL UP or VOL DOWN to
adjust the volume, and press E-BASS for enhanced bass sound as
desired.
5. The CD-3339 automatically stops the tape when it reaches the end. To
stop recording sooner, press STOP/EJECT[]/\. REC . and PLAY > release,
