CONNECTIONS
You can listen to your CD-3445 by
connecting stereo headphones to the
CD player’s PHONES jack or by con-
necting amplified speakers or a home
audio or autosound system to the LINE
OUT jack using the supplied Y-adapter
cable.
Notes:
• The CD player’s PHONES ja ck is a
high-level audio output, and its
volume is controlled by the CD
player’s
VOLUME control. Use this
jack with headphones or amplified
speakers that do not have a vol-
ume control.
• The CD player’s LINE OUT jack is
a low-level audio output, and its
volume is controlled by the vol-
ume control of the amplified
speakers, home audio system, or
autosound system.
• Your local Radio Shack store car-
ries a variety of headphones and
amplified speakers.

CONNECTING

HEADPHONES

For private listening, plug a pair of ste-
reo headphones with a 1/8-inch plug
into the CD player’s PHONES jack.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use headphones.
• 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-vol-
ume listening can lead to perma-
nent 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.
