CONNECTIONS
You can listen to your CD player by
connecting stereo earphones or am-
plified speakers to the player’s
PHONES jack, or by connecting the
player’s
LINE OUT jack to a home au-
dio or car stereo system.
Notes:
• If you use the PHONES jack, use
the CD player’s VOLUME control
to adjust the vo lume.
• If you use the LINE OUT jack, use
the home audio or car stereo sys-
tem’s volume control to adjust the
volume.

CONNECTING

EARPHONES

For private listening, plug a pair of ste-
reo earphones with a 1/8-inch plug (not
supplied) into the CD player’s
PHONES jack.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use earphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest set-
ting 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 per-
manent 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.

Traffic Safety

Do not wear earphones while operat-
ing a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle.
This can create a traffic hazard and
can be illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones let you
hear some outside sounds when lis-
tening at normal volume levels, they
still can present a traffic hazard.
