Radio Shack CD-3904 - Manual (Page 8)

8 Connections
• 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 an earphone 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 or
headphones let you hear some out-
side sounds when listening at normal
volume levels, they still can present a
traffic hazard.
CONNECTING
AMPLIFIED SPEAKERS
You can listen to your CD player
through amplified speakers. Plug the
speaker cable’s
1 / 8 -inch (3.5-mm)

CONNECTING TO AN
AUTO SOUND SYSTEM
You can listen to your CD player
through your vehicle’s sound system
in one of the following ways:
• If your auto sound system has
LINE IN jacks, connect the sup-
plied Y-cable’s
1 / 8 -inch (3.5-mm)
plug to the CD player’s LINE OUT
jack. Then connect the Y-cable’s
phono plugs to your auto sound
system’s LINE IN input jacks.
• If your auto sound system has a
CD input jack, connect one end
of a
1 / 8 -inch (3.5-mm) stereo
patch cable to the CD player’s
LINE OUT jack. Then connect the
other end to your auto sound
system’s CD INPUT jack.
To avoid sound distortion, set VOL-

ing level and adjust it as necessary.
