Where to Start... Your RCA personal CD player is easy to use, right down to the instruction manual. The opening section, “First Things First,” gets you started by showing you how to “Plug In and Play.” Then you learn about all of the features—from basic to advanced. The notes in the margin give you extra information that will help you to get the most from your RCA CD player. If you have any questions, be sure to check the Table of Contents or the Index to help you find an answer.
First Things First Make sure that your package contains these accessories with your CD player. AC power adapter 5-4026 Not All Plugs Are Created Equal Headphones Powering Up Use only the Thomson 5-4026 power supply that came with your player. Using other adapters can seriously damage the unit. Power your CD player by connecting the AC power adapter LINE OUT DC IN 3V OR by inserting two AA-size batteries: 1 Open “no loss” battery door. 2 Insert batteries.
Plugging In Plug the headphone cord into the PHONES jack on the side of the player, and put on the headphones. It’s always a good idea to set the volume to a minimum level before you put on the headphones; then, after you start playing a CD, you can turn up the volume. Playing a Disc You can play 3" and 5" compact discs that have this logo: 1 Press the OPEN button to open the disc compartment door.
Basic Features Now that you’re plugged in and playing CDs, you’re ready to use some of the basic features. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) The liquid crystal display tells you what your CD player is doing. (See Appendix A for detailed information about the display). C AR SE K/ M AC RE EN PEA TE T R O DE TR The display and usage buttons automatically light when you open the disc compartment door. This Backlighting remains on for only about 15 seconds unless you push the PLAY button.

Hold Turning on the HOLD feature does the following: • With power ON — Key icon appears in the display; all buttons are locked out; Hd appears in the display when a button is pressed. • With power OFF — All buttons are locked out, and you must turn off the HOLD switch before you can operate the player. OFF HOLD RESUME OFF Hit the Road The best time to use HOLD is when you‘re transporting your CD player, so that you don’t accidentally activate buttons, or open the compartment door.
Why Would I Do This? One reason is to hear a CD played in the order that the artists originally intended. A prime example is the CD version of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper album, which gives you an alternative order for the cuts from side one of the vinyl version. Programming Play Order 1 Press the MODE button until PROG flashes in the display. 2 Press one of the TRACK/SEARCH buttons until you see the desired track number.
Care and Maintenance Guidelines • Do not touch the laser lens. • Temperature changes can cause condensation to form on the laser lens. If condensation forms on the lens, leave the disc compartment door open (with no disc) for an hour to remove condensation. • Exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat (such as inside a car parked in the sun) can cause damage or malfunction.
Handling Compact Discs To get the best possible sound from your compact discs, you need to keep them clean. Note the following guidelines regarding the use and care of compact discs: • Don’t touch the playing surface (the side without the label). • Don’t store discs in places with high temperatures or high humidity—they can become warped. • Don’t put tape or any other adhesives on either side of the disc.
