POWER SOURCES
Your CD player requires 2 size "AA" alkaline
batteries (not included), or use the AC Adapter (included), or in a car you may use the
Cigarette Lighter Adapter (included).
1. Apply slight downward thumb pressure on the battery door and gently slide it in an outward direction to open the door.
2. Insert 2 size "AA" fresh alkaline batteries according to + and - polarity markings inside the battery compartment. For longer operating life, heavy-duty alkaline batteries are recommended (also see TIPS ON BATTERY USE).
3. Close battery door, making sure that the latch is snapped into place.
NOTE: If you will not use your set for one week or more, remove the batteries, also unplug the adapter from the wall outlet. TIPS ON BATTERY USE
· Reversing polarities will damage the batteries and possibly your set. · Be sure to follow + and - markings as indicated.
· Do not mix different types together (Alkaline, Carbon-Zinc, Nickel Cadmium etc.), or old batteries with new batteries.
· 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.
· Bear in mind that battery life expectancy is based upon volume and bass listening levels and if Anti-Shock circuitry is used. Using the Anti-Shock feature consumes more power. Maximum battery power consumption happens at maximum settings. Typical life for 2 size "AA" alkaline batteries is about 8 hours of continuous use. If the set fails to switch tracks, or if it shuts off, your batteries are weak, replace both batteries, or use the AC Adapter.
· When the batteries have become discharged, they must be disposed of in a safe manner that complies with all applicable laws.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the alkaline batteries are weak, a battery symbol
flashes in the display then the power automatically turns off. If this occurs, replace the
alkaline batteries (also if display does not show anything, batteries are very weak or
dead).
· This set can be used without batteries, as long as the supplied AC Adapter is
connected, or the car cord is used.
· When you are not going to use the set for one week or more, take the batteries out of
the battery compartment and remove the AC Adapter from the wall outlet.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Because of the special integrated circuits and servomotor in this set, this set will not work with weak batteries, it will automatically shut off if the batteries get too weak for proper operation.
BATTERY RECOVERY
When batteries get weak and causes the set to stop, if you wait about 30 minutes, the batteries will regain a small amount of capacity and play for a few more minutes. This does not mean the set is defective! Replace the weak batteries or use the AC Adapter.
AC ADAPTER OPERATIONYour player may be powered from any household 120V AC outlet, using the adapter included. Insert the adapter's small connector plug into the DC 4.5V Jack (on the rear), and plug the adapter into an AC outlet.
NOTE: If the AC Adapter is connected when regular batteries are installed, the player automatically switches to the AC Adapter power and the batteries are not used.
CAUTION:
To prevent electric shock, do not use this AC Adapter with an extension cord or outlet,
unless it can be fully inserted without exposing any parts of the blades. If the adapter
does not fit into your outlet, reverse it and re-insert. Do not use any other adapter to
power this set or you may damage your set. If you are not going to use your AC Adapter for
3 days or more, remove the Adapter from the wall outlet.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT BATTERIES
Fresh alkaline batteries will work for about 8 hours of continuous play.
If your set does not switch tracks or shuts down by itself, this means your batteries are
weak and cannot supply enough current.
Either replace both batteries with fresh alkaline batteries or use the AC Adapter.
This set has a built-in Low Battery Indicator. When this symbol
shows in your Display, both batteries
need to be replaced (The batteries may still have some life in them, but too low for use
by a CD player).

seconds of music is. stored in "read-ahead" memory buffer before it is decoded
and played. The mark
changes to the  mark, indicating that
the data buffer is full.Note: Display will show the words Anti-Shock which is the same as Anti-Skip under the basket. · When the set is subjected 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 read 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 subjected 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 basket
has time to fill up again.· To turn off the Anti-Skip function, press the Anti-Skip Button again. · Keep the digital Anti-Skip function off when using the set in a stable, no vibration area, where it will not receive shocks.

Do not take the set apart. The laser beam used in the set may harm your eyes. Refer 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 disc 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 in locations with heavy vibrations, or tilted surfaces. The anti-skip feature prevents short duration skipping or stopping of music.
The set's cabinet may warp or the set may otherwise be damaged if it is placed in direct sunlight, near heaters (where the temperature is 140 °F / 60 °C or higher) or in cars with the windows closed. In the summer, the temperature may get as high as 212 °F / 100 °C or more.
Use the set within temperature range of 41 °F/5°C to 95 °F/35°C.
Use ONLY the AC Adapter provided, other adapter may damage your set. Disconnect the adapter 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/sound. 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 low. Replace both batteries at the same time (see BATTERY OPERATION).
Your CD-78 is identified by a serial number located in the battery compartment. Record this number and keep it in a safe place.
This booklet 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 safe reliable operation. Print out this online manual or bookmark it 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 door and wait for 1 hour (to allow the internal parts to adjust to the surrounding temperature) before using the set.
