Connection Guide:
Before operating the Model CD, wait until the unit has reached room temperature. Otherwise, condensation may form
inside the player and it may not operate correctly.
With all components turned off, connect the red male RCA from the supplied audio cable to the Model CD’s rear panel
red female RCA audio output marked “RIGHT”. Connect the white male RCA to the Model CD’s rear panel white RCA
audio output marked “LEFT”. Now connect the 1/8" male stereo mini plug to the rear auxiliary mini audio input on your
Tivoli Audio radio. When using your Model CD, your Tivoli Audio radio’s volume control may need to be adjusted to a
level other than what it is normally set to for radio listening.
Connect the included power supply to the rear panel 11.5AC input, plug it into a wall outlet, turn the unit on, insert a
disc and playback will start automatically.
Other advice:
• Do not move the Model CD while a disc is playing. Doing so could scratch the disc and damage parts inside the
player, voiding your warranty.
• Do not insert anything other than an audio CD in the front loader slot.
• Do not insert a disc if one is already inside the player.
• Leaving a disc inside the Model CD when the unit is off is not recommended.
•Do not ship the Model CD with a CD inside the unit.
• Remove an ejected disc in a straight, horizontal position, and avoid bending the disc.
