• Do not try to insert a disc in the slot if one is already inside the unit.
• Do not insert specially shaped discs or 3" CD “single” discs.
• You may experience a delay in playback when inserting MP3 or WMA discs while the player
reads the directory.
• Paper labels stuck to CD-R/CD-RWs may become loose and possibly damage the player.
• CDs with severe scratches may not play properly.
• Do not insert anything except a CD inside the loading slot.

it back in firmly.
Getting the most from your Music System BT
1. Treat the Music System BT as you would a home stereo system. Although the audio from a
computer or laptop can be connected to the Music System BT, it’s not intended for near-field
(close-up) listening like “computer speakers”. As with a home stereo system, listening at a
distance will yield the best results.
2. The SpacePhase™ Wide mode and EQ settings allow you to tailor the Music System BT’s sound
to your liking depending on the program material, room size and volume level. We’ve spent
countless hours of critical listening using a variety of material with different settings and at dif-
ferent volume levels. In general we recommend the treble control be kept in the “0” position. At
high volume levels, for the most accurate reproduction, we recommend keeping the EQ off and
the Audio setting in Stereo or Mono (not SpacePhase™ Wide) mode.
3. Should you ever experience a problem, remove the batteries and the power cord for 60 seconds,
then reinstall the batteries and re-attach the cord. This should restore normal operation.
Reception/RDS
The internal FM antenna (built into the power cord) will provide good FM reception. The supplied
external FM antenna will usually provide improved reception. Fully extend the antenna and do not
bundle it with the power cord or other cords. Locating the antenna near a window or outside wall
will provide better reception than more interior locations. An outdoor antenna will provide the best
possible reception. Another alternative is to use an optional FM dipole antenna (adapter required).
Connecting your cable television 75ohm coaxial cable to the external FM connection may also
provide clear local reception, although you must usually request activation of this service through
your cable company. Be sure to set the rear panel switch to “External” when using an external FM
antenna. Otherwise, it should remain in the “Internal” position. This switch has no affect on AM
reception. If a noisy FM station is received, setting the Audio button to “Mono” may help to clear
up some of the multiplex noise. Route the power cord away from the antennas for best reception.
