Operation
USING AN EXTERNAL
AUDIO COMPONENT
You can connect a separate audio compo-
nent, such as a portable CD player, to your
stereo, as long as the component has a line-
level output or headphone jack. To make the
connection, you need a stereo mini-jack ca-
ble with a
1
/8 inch (3.5 mm) plug (not supplied,
available at your local RadioShack store).
Connect one end of the cable to the stereo's
AUX
in jack, then connect the other end of the
cable to the component’s line-level output
jack.
When you connect an external audio compo-
nent then turn it on, you hear the compo-
nent's sound through your speakers. You
can use the stereo's controls to adjust the
sound.
Notes:
• If you connect an external audio compo-
nent's headphone jack to the stereo,
adjust the audio component's volume to
a low level then adjust the stereo's vol-
ume to a comfortable listening level.
• When you connect a cable to the ste-
reo's
AUX
in jack, the radio and cassette
player do not operate.
PLY appears for
about 5 seconds before the clock dis-
plays the time. Disconnect the audio
component when you are not using it.
