CD-R/CD-RW discs
Your CD clock radio can playback CD-DA format audio CD-R/CD-RW
discs that have been finalised* upon completion of recording.
Your CD clock radio may fail to playback some CD-R/CD-RW discs due
to poor recording of the CD-R/CD-RW disc.
*Finalising enables a CD-R/CD-RW disc to playback on audio CD
players such as your CD clock radio.
Note: If the unit is in the CD stop mode position for more than 15 minutes it
will automatically switch to the standby mode. The operation indicator and the
display will go off in such a case. To use the unit again switch on the unit.

Headphone socket
A 3.5mm Headphone Socket located on the left hand side of your radio
is provided for use with headphones. Inserting a plug automatically mutes
the internal loudspeaker.
Please be aware that the sensitivity of headphones can vary widely. We
therefore recommend setting the volume to a low level before connecting
headphones to the radio.
IMPORTANT: Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones
can cause hearing loss.
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high
volume levels for long periods.
