First Things First

Make sure that your package contains these accessories with your CD player.

Powering Up

Power your CD player by connecting the AC power adapter

No Juice?

The player won’t run on batteries if the AC adapter is

plugged into the DC jack.

Headphones

Not All Plugs Are Created Equal

Use only the Thomson 5-4026 power supply that came with

your player. Using other adapters can seriously damage the

unit.

AC power adapter

by inserting two AA-size batteries:

1 Open “no loss” battery door.

2Insert batteries.

Player will not work, and batteries will be

drained and depleted if not inserted as

shown in the diagram on the cabinet

bottom.

3Close battery door.

DC IN 3VLINE OUT

Hold It Right There!

It won’t play if the HOLD switch is ON (see page 6).

Playing a Disc

You can play 3" and 5" compact discs that have this logo:

1Press the OPEN button to open the disc compartment door.

2Place a disc on the spindle with the label facing up, and then gently push

down on the center of the disc until it’s secure.

3Tightly close the compartment door (or CD won’t play).

4Press the PLAY/PAUSE button.

The display tells you how many tracks are on the disc before play begins.

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.

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).

Pause

Press the PLAY/PAUSE button while a disc is playing to interrupt play (the disc

icon flashes in the display). Press PLAY/PAUSE again to continue play.

Track

Use the TRACK/SEARCH buttons to move backward or forward through a disc

to a specific song.

Repeat

Press the REPEAT/ENTER button once (in Play mode) to repeat current track;

press again to repeat all tracks; press a third time to turn off repeat function.

Check the display to see which repeat mode you’re in (see Appendix A).

Stop

Press STOP to stop play (the disc icon freezes in the display).

SHUFFLE

STOP ESP

STOP Means Stop, Right?

Well, it also means shut down. Press STOP a second time to

shut off the player, (or wait about 15 seconds for it to shut

itself off).

You’re on the Right T rack (or is it TRACK)

When you see TRACK/SEARCH, in this book, it refers to the

button you press; when you see Track or track, it refers to a

selection on a disc (indicated by the number in the display).

Shuffle

Press the MODE button and then press PLAY/PAUSE to play tracks in

random order.

Bass Boost

Bass Boost is used to enhance low volume operations, but may cause some

distortion when used at higher volumes.

Resume versus Pause

”Why not just use Pause?“ In Pause mode, the disc

uses the same amount of power as Play mode; so use

RESUME to conserve battery power.

Don’t Ask Why

Disc search is one of those features that you can’t

think of a reason you‘d ever use it, but somehow you

find yourself using it to skip through the annoying

bongo solo on your ”Beatniks at the Beach“ CD.

Advanced Features

You’ve seen how easy the basic the features are to use, now you’ll find out how

easy the advanced features are.

Press and hold one of the TRACK/SEARCH buttons while the disc is playing to

search backward or forward through a particular track.

Resume

Switch on RESUME so you can turn off the power in the middle of a track,

and then later start up exactly where you left off.

The resume feature also stores information such as the current modes and the

program memory—unless the power source is cut off.

VOLUME BASS BOOST ON PHONES

RESUME OFFOFF HOLD

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.

HittheRoad

The best time to use HOLD is when you‘re transporting

your CD player, so that you don’t accidentally activate

buttons.

ESP ESP ESP ESPESP

ESPisKindofLikeESP

Electronic Skip Protection is kind of like Extra Sensory

Perception because the CD player reads what’s coming

up on the disc and stores it in memory so that your

music isn’t interrupted when the player is jarred.

It's a good idea to turn off ESP when the player is in a

stable place because it consumes additional power,

and wears down batteries more quickly.

Electronic Skip Protection (ESP)

The ESP system keeps your CDs from skipping when the player is jarred. If you’re

using AC power, ESP automatically comes on; if you’re using batteries, you have to

turn it on yourself.

Press the ESP button to activate the feature (the ESP tank appears in the display

and “fills up” as the player stores music into memory). When the player is jarred,

the memory is used and the ESP tank drains.

If the player undergoes continual jarring that empties the tank completely, you

might experience skipping.

Program Mode

You can program as many as 20 tracks into memory in order to change the play

order of a disc.

RESUME OFFOFF HOLD

Programming Play Order

1Press the MODE button until PROG flashes in the display.

2Press one of the TRACK/SEARCH buttons until you see the desired track number.

3Press REPEAT/ENTER to store that track into the program memory (Pr appears in

the display letting you know you can store another track). You can store from 1

to 20 tracks (until PF appears in the display, indicating that the program is full).

4When you finish programming tracks, press PLAY/PAUSE to begin play.

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.

Clearing Tracks from a Program

When you clear a track from memory, all tracks that follow it move up so that you

can add a new track at the end of the program.

1Press the MODE button until

PROG

flashes in the display.

2Use the REPEAT/ENTER button to locate the track you want to clear.

3Press either of the TRACK/SEARCH buttons until

flashes in the display.

4Press REPEAT/ENTER to clear the track.

ClearingAllT racks

You can turn off RESUME and then shut off the

power (or open the compartment door) to completely

clear the program memory. . .unless you really want

to clear each track individually.

Don't Just Sit There—Do Something!

Unless the RESUME is active, you need to press

PLAY/PAUSE when you finish programming in order

to begin disc play.

Reviewing a Program and Replacing a Track

1Press the MODE button until PROG flashes in the display.

2Use the REPEAT/ENTER button to review the program order until you see the

track number you want to replace.

3Press either of the TRACK/SEARCH buttons to select a new track number.

4Press REPEAT/ENTER to replace the old track number with the one flashing in

the display.

5Press PLAY/PAUSE to begin play.

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.

• To prevent dust from reaching internal parts, keep the disc compartment door closed when not using the player (except when

necessary to remove condensation).

• Do not place objects on top of the player.

Laser lens

Cleaning the Laser Lens

It’s important that you periodically clean the laser lens, especially when dust or

fingerprints are evident. Not cleaning the laser lens can result in inferior sound

quality or no sound at all. To clean the lens, follow these directions:

1 Turn off the unit’s power and/or disconnect the AC power adapter.

2Open the disc compartment and remove the disc (if there is one).

3Clean the lens with a soft brush or use an air blower brush designed for cameras.

4If you still are not able to remove dirt particles, moisten a cotton swab with

isopropyl alcohol and gently apply to the face of the laser lens, rubbing gently

until all traces of dirt are removed.

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.

• Don’t use cleaners or anti-static sprays on discs, such as those used on conventional phonograph records.

• Always store each disk in its case, and not in the CD player.

• Before playing a disc, wipe any dust or fingerprints from the playback surface with a soft cloth. Wipe from the hub to the edge with a

straight motion.
