REMOVING THE SHIPPING SCREWS

The three shipping screws on the bottom of the CD changer help protect it
from damage during shipment or while moving it.  Before you use the CD
changer, place it with the left side down and use a small Phillips 
screwdriver to remove the shipping screws.

CAUTION:  Do not turn the CD changer upside down when you remove the
          shipping screws.  Doing so might damage the CD mechanism.

Save the shipping screws in case you ever want to move the CD changer to
another area.  Secure them to the back of the CD changer with a piece of
tape.

When you want to transport the CD changer, first remove all CDs from the
changer, turn off the power, and leave the unit for about 10 seconds.  Then
replace the shipping screws.

CONNECTING THE CD CHANGER TO YOUR RECEIVER OR AMPLIFIER

NOTE:  If you place the CD changer near other audio components or their
       wires, you might hear a hum when you play a CD.  Move the components
       or their wires to eliminate the hum.

CAUTION:  Do not connect the CD changer to AC power until you complete
          all other connections.

1.  Select a location for your CD changer that is near your receiver or
    amplifier and a standard AC outlet.

    CAUTION:  Do not place the CD changer on top of the receiver or
              amplifier or on any other component that gets hot.

2.  Plug one end of the supplies audio cable into the CD changer's L (left)
    and R (right) OUTPUT jacks, matching the red plug to the red R OUTPUT
    jack and the white plug to the white L OUTPUT jack.

3.  Plug the other end of the audio cable into the receiver's or
    amplifier's left and right CD, AUX, or TAPE input jacks.

CAUTION:  Do not connect the CD changer to the receiver's or amplifier's
          PHONO inputs.

CONNECTING POWER

NOTE:  The CD changer loses memorized settings when power is removed.  Do
       not connect the CD changer's AC cord to an amplifier or other
       switched outlet.

After you have connected the CD changer to your receiver or amplifier,
plug the CD changer's AC power cord into a standard AC outlet.  The
STANDBY indicator lights.

CAUTIONS:  Do not plug in the CD changer until you remove the shipping
           screw and complete all other connections.

           To prevent electric shock, the plug's blades are polarized and
           fit only one way.  If the plug does not fit easily, turn it 
           over and try again.  Do not force the plug into any AC outlet.

CONNECTING TO A CASSETTE DECK'S SYNCHRO JACK

The Synchro-Record feature lets you easily copy CDs to cassette tapes.  If
you have a cassette deck that has a CD-DECK SYNCHRO jack (such as many 
Optimus Professional Series cassette decks), the CD changer deck
synchrocord, supplied with the cassette deck, to the CD changer's and
cassette deck's CD- DECK SYNCHRO jacks.

INSTALLING THE REMOTE CONTROL'S BATTERIES

Your CD changer's remote control requires two AAA batteries (not supplied)
for power.  We recommend alkaline batteries (Radio Shack Cat. Nol 23-555).

CAUTIONS  Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type.  
          Other batteries might damage the remote control.

          Never leave dead or weak batteries in the remote control.  They
          can leak chemicals and corrode the control.

          Never mix fresh and old batteries.

          If you do not plan to use the remitter control for a month or
          more, remove and store the batteries.

USING A RECEIVER'S REMOTE CONTROL WITH THE CD CHANGER

If your receiver/amplifier (such as most Optimus Professional Series
receiver/amplifiers) has an OSR mark, the receiver/amplifier's remote
control can control some of the CD changer's operation.

Plug one end of the supplied control cable into the CD changer's CONTROL
IN jack.  Plug the other end of the cable into the receiver/amplifier's 
CONTROL OUT jack.

USING AN OPTIONAL CONTROLLER

You can connect an optional controller (available through special order 
from your local Radio Shack store) so you can control up to three CD-100s
at the same time.  Connect the controller to the I/O INTERFACE jack.
