Basic Operation

Warning: To protect your hearing, set the volume on your receiver or amplifier to its lowest level before you load and play a CD.

Caution: Do not set the volume on your receiver or amplifier too high while playing soft or quiet portions of a music program. Due to the CD changer’s wide dynamic range, the speakers might be damaged if the music program includes a sudden loud passage.

Using the Remote Control

Many of the CD changer’s buttons also have a corresponding button on the remote control, and you can use either the CD changer or the remote control to control the function.

Note: The remote operates the CD changer from up to 23 feet away and within 30° of the front of the CD changer.

To use the remote control, point it at the infrared sensor on the left side of the front panel and press the control button.

When the remote control’s operating distance reduces or if the remote control stops working, replace the batteries.

Loading CDs in the Rack

Note: Always handle CDs by their edges. Fingerprints and scratches on a CD’s surface can prevent the laser beam from correctly reading the digital information. For more information, see “CD Care Tips” on Page 18 .
