IMPORTANT NOTE
Since the CD-9800 is a dual CD player, most of the functions and controls are duplicated on both sides of the CD player. To eliminate confusion and to make the drawings easier to understand, we will only number the right side functions and controls. The only controls that are not duplicated are the POWER SWITCH (1), VOLTAGE SELECTOR SLIDE SWITCH (20), REMOTE JACK (23) and the PLAYER JACK (22).
