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.
Note: If the jacks on your equipment
do not match the plugs on the sup-
plied Y-cable, check with your local
RadioShack store for the proper cable
adapter.
CONNECTING
EARPHONES/
HEADPHONES
For private listening, you can plug a
pair of stereo earphones or head-
phones with a
1 /
8
-inch plug (not sup-
plied) 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 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 or head-
phones while operating a motor vehi-
cle or riding a bicycle. This can create
a traffic hazard and could be illegal in
some areas.
Even though some earphones and
headphones let you hear some out-
side sounds when listening at normal
volume levels, they still can present a
traffic hazard.
