RESETTING THE CD CHANGER

If the CD changer does not work properly after you connect power, you
might have to reset it.

NOTE:  Resetting the CD changer does not clear any stored category or
       sub-category names.

To reset the CD changer, press POWER to turn off the CD changer.  Then 
press POWER again to turn it back on.

If the CD changer still does not work properly, unplug the CD changer's AC
power cord from the AC outlet, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in 
again.

If M-ERROR scrolls across the display again or the CD changer still does
not work properly, contact the local Radio Shack store for assistance.
