OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.

Thank you for purchasing the RadioShack Mini Stereo System. Its novel motorized, rotating

unit-face makes loading CDs and tapes easy and fun. The 2 ×2-way speaker box gives you

high quality sound effects. The stereo not only includes a CD player, tape deck and AM / FM

tuner, but also an alarm clock (J?C;H

J?C;HJ?C;H

J?C;H) with sleep and snooze-control features. The supplied

30-key infrared remote control can operate the system from across the room. The tuner

features 20-station memory, allowing you to store up to 20 radio stations (10 FM and 10 AM)

in memory, so you can quickly turn to a stored station. The tuner also uses PLL (Phase Lock

Loop) Digital Automatic Seeking, which searches forward or backward to the next strong

station in the selected band so you can quickly find new stations. The CD player has

programmable play, so you can play up to 20 tracks in any sequence you choose.

Even though a compact disc is durable, treat

the CD surface with care.

• Do not write on either side of the CD,

particularly the non-label side (signals

are read from the non-label side).

• Do not store CDs in high temperature or

high humidity areas. They might warp.

• Keep CDs dry. A water drop can act as

a lens and affect the laser beam's

focus.

Always handle a CD by the edges to avoid

fingerprints and always keep it in its

protective case or sleeve when it is not in

use. Fingerprints and scratches on the CD's

surface can prevent the laser beam from

correctly reading the digital information. If

the CD gets scratched, use RadioShack

Scratch 'n Fix to repair the disc.

After you play a cassette tape several times,

the tape might become tightly wound on the

reels. This can cause playback sound

quality to deteriorate.

To restore the sound quality, fast-forward

the tape from the beginning to the end of

one side, then completely rewind it. Then

loosen the tape reels by gently tapping each

edge of the cassette on a flat surface..

To record over a cassette tape, simply

record as usual. The cassette deck records

Cassette tapes have two erase-protection

tabs — one for each side. When a tab is in

place, you can record on that side.

To prevent accidental erasure of a recorded

tape, use a screwdriver to remove one or

both of the cassette tape’s erase-protection

tabs. This prevents RECORD from

engaging..

If you later decide to record on a tape side

after you have removed the erase-protection

tab, place a piece of strong plastic tape over

that side’s erase-protection hole. Be sure

you cover only the hole originally covered by

the erase-protection tab.
