Radio Operation

1.  Set TAPE/RADIO/CD to RADIO.

    Note:  Set FM MODE to STEREO for FM stereo sound or to MONO for
           monaural sound.

3.  Adjust TUNING to the desired station.

    Notes: With FM MODE set to STEREO, the FM STEREO indicator lights to
           show when you tune to a stereo station.

           For the best FM reception, fully extend the telescoping antenna
           and swivel it to the position that produces the best reception.

           For the best AM reception, rotate the CD-3330 to position the
           built-in AM antenna.

           If FM stereo reception gets weak while FM MODE is set to
           STEREO, set FM MODE to MONO.  The sound is no longer in stereo,
           but reception should improve.

Automatic Search Music System

The automatic search music system lets you quickly locate the beginning of 
any track on the CD, including the track currently playing.

If the CD is playing:

  Press << to return to the beginning of the current track.

  Press << again to skip to the beginning of the previous track.

  Press >> to skip to the beginning of the next track.

If the CD is stopped, repeatedly press (or hold down) << or >> until the 
display shows the number of the track you want to play, then press >|| 
PLAY/PAUSE.  The CD player starts playing the selected track.

To search backward or forward within a track while the CD is playing, hold

CD Care Tips

Even though a compact disc is durable, treat the CD surface with care.

  Do not write on either side of the CD, particularly the non-label side
  (signals are read from the non-label side).

  Do not store the CDs in high temperature, high humidity locations.  They
  might warp.

  Keep CDs dry.  A water drop can act as a lens and affect the laser
  beam's focus.

  Always handle a CD by the edges to avoid fingerprints and always keep it
  in its protective case or sleeve when it is not in use. Fingerprints and
  scratches on the CDs surface can prevent the laser beam from correctly
  reading the digital information. If the CD gets scratched, use Scratch'n
  Fix (Cat. No. 42-127) to repair the disc.

Recording

You can record from the CD player or radio.

Notes:  The CD-3330 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 its
                  erase protection tabs removed, you cannot press RECORD
                  (o).  Do not force it, as this can damage the mechanism.

Tape Tips

Erasing a Cassette Tape

To erase a previously recorded tape, simply record over it.  To erase the 
entire cassette tape, set TAPE/RADIO/CD to CD and do not load a CD.  Then 
start recording and let the tape record to the end.  Or, set TAPE/RADIO/CD 
to TAPE and press RECORD (o).

To quickly erase both sides of a cassette tape, use a bulk 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 erase-protection tabs.

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.

Note:  Removing erase-protection tabs does not prevent a bulk eraser from
       erasing a cassette tape.

Restoring Tape Tension and Sound Quality

After you play 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.  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.
