MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
You can listen to your CD player by
connecting earphones, headphones, or
amplified speakers to the player’s
PHONES
jack, or by connecting a home
audio or autosound system to the CD
player’s
LINE OUT
jack.
Notes:
If the jacks on your equipment do
not match the plugs on the supplied
Y-cable, check with your local
RadioShack store for the proper
cable adapter.
If you use amplified speakers, con-
nect them to the
PHONES
jack, not
LINE OUT
. Otherwise, FM radio
reception might be weak or noisy.
CONNECTING
EARPHONES OR
HEADPHONES
For private listening, you can plug a pair
of stereo earphones or headphones
(not supplied) with a
1
/
8
-inch (3.5-mm)
plug into the
PHONES
jack on the CD
player.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use earphones or
headphones.
Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to
a comfortable level.
Do not listen at extremely high vol-
ume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent
hearing loss.
Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a vol-
ume level that does not cause dis-
comfort might still damage your
hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear earphones or headphones
while operating a motor vehicle or riding
a bicycle. This can create a traffic haz-
ard and could be illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones and
headphones let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume
levels, they still can present a traffic
hazard.
