TIPS ON BATTERY USE • Reversing polarities will damage the batteries and possibly your set. Be sure to follow polarity ( + and - ) as indicated. • Do not mix different types together (Alkaline, Carbon-Zinc, Nickel-Cadmium etc.), or old batteries with new ones. • When not in use for an extended period of time, or while internal batteries will not be used, remove them to prevent possible acid leakage or corrosion resulting in damage to your player. • When the batteries have become discharged, they must be disposed of in a safe manner that complies with all applicable laws. • Installation of batteries should only be done by an adult (for safety). WHEN SHOWS OR FLASHES IN THE DISPLAY If the alkaline batteries are weak and discharged, this symbol “ ” shows or flashes in the display, then the power automatically turns off. If this occurs, replace the alkaline batteries (also if display does not show anything, the batteries are dead). ALKALINE BATTERY LIFE Bear in mind that battery life expectancy is based upon volume and bass listening levels. Maximum battery power consumption happens at maximum settings. Typical life for 2 size “AA” alkaline batteries is above 8 hours of continuous use. Insert two size “AA” alkaline batteries according to the + and - markings in the BATTERY COMPARTMENT. 3 NOTE: You may use rechargeable batteries on this set. However, because rechargeable batteries generally have lower voltage (1.2 volts instead of 1.5 volts). Your playing time will be much less than normal fresh alkaline batteries. CD87(12A-45J2)010801 NL v.1 E

Your player may be powered from any household 120V AC outlet, using the AC ADAPTOR included. Insert the ADAPTOR’s small connector plug into the DC 4.5V jack marked on player (on the right side of the set), and plug the ADAPTOR into an AC outlet. NOTE: If the AC ADAPTOR is connected, and regular batteries are installed, the player automatically switches to the AC ADAPTOR power and the batteries are not used. CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, do not use this AC ADAPTOR with an extension cord or outlet, unless it can be fully inserted without exposing any part of the blades. Do not use any other AC adaptor to power this set or you may damage your set. 4 CONNECTING TO HOME STEREO SYSTEMS The AUX OUT jack is made to accept a stereo mini plug (3.5mm). Simply connect the cable’s mini plug to the AUX OUT jack on your player, and the other appropriate end usually RCA JACKS to the CD/AUX INPUTS of your home stereo.

TM - which allows virtually unlimited gentle skip protection, and 45 second normal shock protection. The ESP PLUS TM function prevents the sound from skipping by using a buffer memory that stores music data. The new ESP PLUS TM system can store more music than normal anti-skip systems. EMPTY MEMORY FULL MEMORY SOME MEMORY USED ALL MEMORY USED UP 45 SECOND ESP PLUS TM SYSTEM This new design allows gentle swaying of the set without music skipping as in walking. This set will not work during jogging. 9 The ESP PLUS TM function will turn on automatically when the PLAY/ PAUSE button is pressed. Press the ESP+ button to turn off the ESP PLUS TM if you need not ESP PLUS TM function. When the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed during play, the “ ” (memory buffer) indicator will appear in the display, the digital data equivalent to approximately 45 seconds of music is stored in the “read-ahead” memory buffer before it is decoded and played. The “ ” mark changes to the “ ” mark, indicating that the memory buffer is full. • When the set is subject to a shock or a bump during play, the data stored in memory continues to be decoded and played. This gives the pickup time to stabilize and continue reading new music. As the data is used from memory, the indicator changes from “ ” to “ ”. Once the pickup returns to its original position, new data is stored in memory and the display changes back to the “ ” mark. • If the set is subject to repeated shocks and all the data stored in memory is used up, the “ ” mark is displayed and the sound will skip or stop for a brief period until the memory buffer has time to fill up again. • To turn off the 45 second ESP PLUS TM function, press the ESP button. • Keep the digital ESP PLUS TM function off when using the set in a stable, no vibration area, where it will not receive shocks. The batteries will last longer when the ESP function is off. When the ESP PLUS TM function is switched ON or OFF during play, the sound will be interrupted for a few seconds. This is normal. NOTE: - The music may stop if the player receives continuous shocking. - You may hear noise or skipping if the CD is dirty or scratched. - If during ESP play, you press PLAY/PAUSE, or SEARCH buttons, the memory buffer will empty itself temporarily.

Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dirty, dampen (not dripping wet) the cloth with a weak solution of soapy water, and then wipe clean. Cleaning the lens A dirty lens will cause sound skipping. If the lens is very dirty, the player may not work. We suggest using a special cleaning disk (not included) available in most music and Hi-Fi stores. However, if you do not have one, you may use a cotton swab very slightly dampened with alcohol to clean the lens. MAINTENANCE To remove the Disc Open the CD DOOR by sliding the DOOR OPEN button, hold the disc by the edge while slightly pressing on the center spindle as illustrated, then lift it from the edge to release and remove. Cleaning the Discs • Fingerprints should be carefully wiped from the surface of disc with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic dirt, so gently wiping them with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight motion from the center to the edge. Handling Compact Discs • Dirty, scratched or warped discs may cause skipping or noise. • Handle the disc only by the edges. To keep clean, do not touch its surface. • Never use thinner, benzine, record cleaner or antistatic spray on a compact disc. Such chemicals can damage its plastic surface. • Discs should be stored in their cases after use to avoid scratches. • Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures, or dust, etc. Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can warp the disc (such as leaving the discs in your car during summertime). • Do not stick or write anything on either side of disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the inks used in some felt-tip pens, may damage its surface. NOTE Always press the STOP button and wait for the disc to stop rotating before sliding the DOOR OPEN button to remove the disc. 10 CD87(12A-45J2)010801 NL v.1 E

servicing to qualified service personnel only. Do not insert pins or coins, clips, or any objects inside the set. This set is equipped with a safety device which automatically turns the laser beam off when the CD DOOR is opened. Do not drop the set or subject it to strong shocks. Doing so could result in damage. Do not place the set in locations where the temperature is high, or in humid or dusty locations, or locations with long heavy vibrations, or tilted surfaces. The set’s cabinet may warp or the set may be damaged if it is placed in direct sunlight, near heaters (where the temperature is 1400F/600C or higher) or in cars with the windows closed. In the summer, the temperature may get as high as 2120F/1000C or more. Use the set within a temperature range of 410F/50C to 950F/350C. Use ONLY the AC ADAPTOR provided, others may damage your set. Disconnect the ADAPTOR from the wall outlet when the set is not to be used for an extended period of time (3 days or more). When cleaning your set, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use solvents or commercially available cleaners, as they may damage or discolor the finish. Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle. This could create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas. Do not use this set when bicycling or running. The headphones supplied with your set provide superb stereo listening while allowing you to hear some outside sounds when listening at normally low volume levels. Listening at extremely high volume levels minimizes the intrusion of outside noise/sounds. In the interest of safety, it is strongly advised against the use while engaging in activities where the exclusion of external sounds (whistles, horns, sirens, traffic, etc.) could be hazardous. Also loud volume can hurt your ears. If you notice that the sound has become weak or distorted or if tracks do not change, this is an indication that your batteries are weak. Replace both batteries at the same time (see Using with Batteries). Your CD-87 is identified by a serial number located in the BATTERY COMPARTMENT. Record this number in the space provided below. Model CD-87 Serial No. Date Purchased: This manual contains detailed information on its safety and use. Please read it carefully so that you may take full advantage of its many features, and ensure a safe reliable operation. Keep this manual for future reference. CONDENSATION If cold water is poured into a glass, water droplets form on the outside of the glass. This is called condensation. Condensation may occur on internal operating parts of the lens. Condensation occurs: When the set is brought from the cold outdoors into a warm room, or if it is in a cold room to a room which is heated, or in the summer, if the set is moved from an air- conditioned room or car to a hot or humid location. Should condensation occur, the set may not operate properly. Open the CD DOOR and wait for about 20 minutes (to allow the internal parts to adjust to the surrounding temperature) before using the set. 11 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CD87(12A-45J2)010801 NL v.1 E
