PREPARATION
2. Press the red speaker terminal tab
labeled R + on the back of the sys-
tem, insert the stripped end of the
right speaker’s stripped wire into
the terminal, then release the tab.
CONNECTING THE
SPEAKERS
Caution: Do not plug in the power
cord until you connect the speakers.
Operating the CD-3329 without con-
nected speakers could damage it.
The wires for the CD-3329’s detach-
able speakers are rolled up in the re-
cessed area at the back of each
speaker.
Unwind the wire from each speaker,
then follow these steps to connect the
speakers to the system.
3. Press the black speaker terminal
tab labeled R – on the back of the
system, insert the stripped end of
the right speaker’s other wire into
the terminal, then release the tab.
1. If you want to attach the speakers,
align the dovetails on the side of
the right speaker with the tracks
on the right end of the main sys-
tem and slide the speaker down
until it clicks into place.
4. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to connect
the left speaker to the L + and L –
terminals.
To disconnect the speakers from the
system, disconnect the speaker wires
from the CD-3329. Then (if speakers
are attached) hold down the main sys-
tem while you slide the speakers up-
ward along the tracks.
Align the dovetails on the side of
the left speaker with the tracks on
the left end of the main system
and slide the speaker down until it
clicks into place.

2. Install the batteries as indicated
by the polarity symbols (+) and (–)
marked inside the compartment.
INSTALLING THE
REMOTE CONTROL’S
BATTERIES
The remote control requires two AAA
batteries (not supplied) for power. We
recommend alkaline batteries, such
as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-555.
3. Replace the cover.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
CONNECTING POWER
You can power your CD-3329 from ei-
ther:
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable),
or rechargeable batteries of differ-
ent capacities.
• Standard AC power (with the sup-
plied power cord)
• Eight D batteries (not supplied)
Follow these steps to install batteries.
Note: Connecting the power cord dis-
connects internal batteries.
1. Press the tab on the battery com-
partment cover and lift the cover
to open it.
Using AC Power
To use AC power, plug the supplied
AC ~ 120V
power cord into the
jack on
the back of the CD-3329. Then plug
the other end into a standard AC out-
let.
6
14-507.fm Page 7 Wednesday, June 30, 1999 12:01 PM
Cautions:
Follow these steps to install batteries.
• The plug’s blades are polarized
(one blade is wider than the other)
and fit only one way. If the plug
will not fit easily, turn it over and
try again. Do not force it.
1. Remove the battery compartment
cover by pushing the cover’s two
tabs in the direction of the arrows.
• Be sure the plug’s blades are fully
inserted to prevent blade expo-
sure.
• Always unplug the power cord
from the AC outlet before you
unplug it from the CD-3329.
2. Insert the batteries as indicated by
the polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked above the battery com-
partment.
After you connect the power cord to
the AC outlet, the POWER indicator

Using Batteries
Note: For easy removal, place all
eight batteries over the ribbon.
The CD-3329 can use eight D batter-
ies (not supplied) for power. We rec-
ommend alkaline batteries, such as
Cat. No. 23-550.
3. Replace the cover.
Note: If you do not plan to use the
system for several days, or if you plan
to power the system using AC power
only, remove the batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable),
or rechargeable batteries of differ-
ent capacities.

USING HEADPHONES
For private listening, plug a pair of op-
tional headphones (not supplied) with
1
a /8-inch (3.5-mm) plug into the
jack. Your local RadioShack store has
a wide selection of headphones.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use headphones.
• Set the volume to its lowest set-
ting before you begin listening.
After you begin listening, adjust
the volume to a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended high-vol-
ume listening can lead to perma-
nent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a
volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your
hearing.

• To improve reception for weak
FM stations, set FM STEREO/
MONO to MONO. The sound is
no longer in stereo, but recep-
tion should improve.

Cautions:
CD AND CD PLAYER
TIPS
• To avoid damaging the CD player,
do not place anything but a CD in
the CD compartment.
Although a CD is very durable, you
should handle it with care. We recom-
mend these precautions.
• Remove any loaded CD from the
CD player before moving the CD-
3329 to prevent damaging the
CD.
• Keep the CD in its protective case
or sleeve when you are not play-
ing it.
• Moving the CD player suddenly
from a cold place to a warmer one
can cause moisture to form on the
pickup lens and disrupt operation.
If this happens, unplug it and wait
about 2 hours for the moisture to
evaporate before playing a CD.
• Keep the CD clean. Your local
RadioShack store sells a suitable
CD cleaner kit.
• Keep the CD dry. A drop of mois-
ture can act as a lens and affect
the laser beam’s focus. If it gets
wet, wipe the CD with a soft, dry
cloth before playing it.
• Do not write on either side of a
CD, especially the non-label side.
• Handle the CD by its edge to
avoid fingerprints and surface
scratches, which can prevent the
laser from accurately reading the
CD. To clean the surface, use a
CD Cleaner Kit (such as Cat. No.
42-226) or Scratch ’n Fix (Cat. No.
42-127).
• Do not store CDs in high-tempera-
ture, high-humidity locations.
Note: If the CD-3329 is subject to a
sudden shock or jolt during play, the
CD’s rotation speed might suddenly
change, and the music might be brief-
ly interrupted or the current track
might start over. This is not a malfunc-
tion.

TAPE TIPS
1. Load the tape you want to copy
from into Tape 2 with the side you
want to copy facing you and the
full reel to the left.
Erasing a Cassette Tape
If you no longer want a recording, you
can record over it or erase it. To erase
the entire cassette tape, set the switch
to TAPE and let the tape record to the
end without a tape in Tape 2.
2. Load a blank tape, or one you
want to record over, in Tape 1 with
the side you want to record on
facing you and the full reel to the
left.
You can quickly erase both sides of a
cassette tape using a bulk tape eras-
er, available at your local RadioShack
store.
3. To dub the tape at normal speed,
set DUB. NORMAL/HIGH to NOR-
MAL.
To dub the tape at about twice the
normal speed, set DUB. NORMAL/
HIGH to HIGH. You hear a high-
pitched sound during recording.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Optimus CD-3329 Portable Triple-Play Compact Disc Player with AM/FM Ste-
reo Dual-Cassette Recorder is an example of superior design and craftsmanship.
The following suggestions will help you care for the CD-3329 so you can enjoy it for
years.
Keep the CD-3329 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the CD-3329 only in normal temperature environ-
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic de-
vices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the CD-3329 away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema-
ture wear of parts.
Handle the CD-3329 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage
circuit boards and cases and can cause the CD-3329 to work improp-
erly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Batteries can
leak chemicals that damage your CD-3329’s electronic parts.
Wipe the CD-3329 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-
gents to clean the CD-3329.
Modifying or tampering with the CD-3329’s internal components can cause a mal-
function and might invalidate your CD-3329’s warranty and void your FCC authori-
zation to operate it. If your CD-3329 is not performing as it should, take it to your
local RadioShack store for assistance.
