TIPS ON BATTERY USE

Reversing polarities will damage the batteries and possibly your set. Be sure to

follow polarity ( + and - ) as indicated.

Do not mix different types together (Alkaline, Carbon-Zinc, Nickel-Cadmium etc.),

or old batteries with new ones.

When not in use for an extended period of time, or while internal batteries will not

be used, remove them to prevent possible acid leakage or corrosion resulting in

damage to your player.

When the batteries have become discharged, they must be disposed of in a safe

manner that complies with all applicable laws.

Installation of batteries should only be done by an adult (for safety).

WHEN SHOWS IN THE DISPLAY

If the alkaline batteries are weak and discharged, this symbol   shows or

flashes in the display, then the power automatically turns off. If this occurs, replace

the alkaline batteries (also if the display does not show anything, the batteries are

dead).

ALKALINE BATTERY LIFE

Bear in mind that battery life expectancy is based upon volume and bass listening

levels.

Maximum battery power consumption happens at maximum settings. Typical life

for 2 size AA alkaline batteries is above 8 hours of continuous use for CD play.

NOTE: You may use rechargeable batteries on this set. However, because

rechargeable batteries generally have lower voltage (1.2 volts instead of

1.5 volts). Your playing time will be much less than normal fresh alkaline

batteries.

POWER SOURCES

Using with Batteries

Power this player by inserting 2 size AA fresh alkaline batteries.

You can also power this CD player by connecting an optional AC adaptor.

AC Adaptor (optional)

Before you buy an AC Adaptor, please note, the only AC ADAPTOR suitable for this player

is DC 4.5V 700mA (or greater mA), with plus center polarity . Others may damage

the player. Please check voltage & current (mA) before buying an AC ADAPTOR.

BATTERY OPERATION

1. Slide the OPEN button to open the CD DOOR, then

open the BATTERY DOOR.

2. Insert 2 size AA fresh alkaline batteries as shown.

IB-CD96(CDM32A-60F8)-WM-E-030803

This set is designed with the latest 60 second ESP PLUSTM (Electronic Skip Protection)

for CD play and 120 second for MP3 - which allows virtually unlimited gentle skip

protection above the normal shock protection.

The ESP PLUSTM function will turn on automatically when the

PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed.

When the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed, the   (memory

basket) indicator will appear in the display, the digital data

(music) is stored in the read-ahead memory buffer before

it is decoded and played.

The ESP PLUSTM function prevents the sound from skipping by using a buffer memory

that stores music data. This new ESP PLUSTM system can store more music than

normal anti-skip systems.

ESP PLUSTM ANTI-SKIP SYSTEM

This new design allows gentle swaying of the set (as in walking) without music skipping.

This function may not work during heavy jogging.

EMPTY MEMORY

SOME MEMORY USED

FULL MEMORY

The   mark changes to the   mark, indicating that the

memory buffer (basket) is full.

If the set is subject to a shock or a bump during play, the

data stored in memory continues to be decoded and played.

This gives the pickup time to stabilize and continue

reading new music. As the data is used from memory, the

indicator changes from   to  . Once the pickup

returns to its original position, new data is stored in memory

and the display changes back to the   mark.

NOTE:

- The music may stop if the player receives continuous

shocking or shaking.

- You may hear noise or skipping if the DISC is dirty or

scratched.

- During ESP play, if you press SKIP/SEARCH button, or

10+ / ALBUM button, the memory basket will empty itself

temporarily in order to read ahead.

If the set is subject to repeated shocks and all the data

stored in memory is used up, the   mark is displayed

and the sound will skip or stop for a brief period until the

memory basket has time to fill up again.

ALL MEMORY USED UP

Basic Introduction to MP3

MP3 files are music files which have been compressed into the MP3 format. The

CD-96 plays MP3 files which have been written onto a CD disc.

To play MP3 files on this player, you will

need to make (record) a disc with your

MP3 files on them.

The first thing you will need is an IBM

compatible PC computer (at least

Pentium class) or an apple computer (at

least G3 class) with lots of RAM and a

CD-R or CD-RW writer. Then you will

need some software. (Either it is in your

new computer already or you may have

to buy this from MusicMatch or a similar

company. You may go to the Website

www. musicmatch.com or www.nero.com.

You will also need blank CDs that are

recordable, these are called CD-R or

CD-RW (CD-R discs can be recorded

on only once, CD-RW can be erased

and rewritten or re-recorded but are

more expensive.)

NOTE: Most audio CD players cant play

MP3 files, the CD-96 can play

both MP3 and normal music files

but not if they are mixed on one CD.

To download an MP3 file (song) from a

website (like www.mp3.com), go to http:

//www.mp3.com and you can find a

search link at the top of the homepage

that allows you to search for MP3 files.

Input a key word and click on that link

and you will find many songs by many

new artists. To download an MP3 file,

click on software, then get MP3 link or

newer software, register and click on

download. We recommend you make a

new folder for your MP3 files.

If you want to record MP3 files from

music CDs, first rip the music onto

the hard disc. Ripping is much faster

than recording.

Titles and song names can be viewed

by the text display of your CD-96. But

in most cases above, you will need to

enter the names of the songs. Also, if

you put all songs in one album, it may

be difficult for you to locate a particular

song. We recommend several albums

on a single CD with each album

containing multiple songs. CDDB

(www.cddb.com) is a database which

can help you name songs and artists

and has useful information on latest

songs and artists.

MP3 opens a whole new world of music

to you. Learn about this exciting new

format and enjoy.

Successful recording of a CD needs an

uninterrupted stream of high speed data.

For best results, limit or close your other

programs on the computer while

recording to prevent buffer underruns

or empty spots on the disc.

You can play MP3 songs on most new

computers or you can highlight them for

downloading & burning (recording)

them onto a CD later. Note your CD-96

will play MP3 songs which end in the

extension .MP3 (dot MP3 only). You

can select how to save a file, select .MP3

as the correct extension on your

computer. Do not save the file with other

extensions like .txt)

If you want to convert your existing

records or tapes to MP3 discs, you will

need to record them using a sound card.

You will also need software such as

MusicMatch or RealJukebox and a set

of audio cables to connect your tape

player to your sound card.

This player will play most MP3 formats.

Some formats (like WMA) or some

non-standard sampling rates may not

be supported or play.

We recommend you get some books or

information on the Web to help you learn

this exciting new way to store & play

hundreds of songs in MP3 format. Also

you may search the web for MP3 and

you will immediately find a world of

information and songs.

NOTE: This set will not play WMA music files.
