equipped with a polarized AC line plug  
(a plug having one blade wider than  
the other). This plug will fit in the pow-  
er outlet only one way. This is a safety  
feature. If you cannot insert the plug  
fully into the outlet, try reversing the  
plug. If the plug still doesn't fit, contact  
your electrician to replace your obso-  
lete outlet. Do not defeat the safety  
purpose of the polarized plug. If you  
need an extension, use a polarized  
cord.  
Servicing — Do not attempt to ser-  
vice this product yourself, as opening  
or removing covers may expose you  
to dangerous voltage or other haz-  
ards. Refer all servicing to qualified  
service personnel.  
Power-Cord Protection — Route  
power-supply cords so they are not  
likely to be walked on or pinched by  
items placed on or against them, pay-  
ing particular attention to cords at  
plugs, convenience receptacles, and  
the point where they exit from the  
product.  
Damage Requiring Service — Un-  
plug this product from the wall outlet  
and refer servicing to qualified service  
personnel under the following condi-  
tions:  
• When the power-supply cord or  
plug is damaged.  
Nonuse Periods — Unplug the CD  
changer’s power cord when you will  
not use it for extended periods.  
• If liquid has been spilled or objects  
have fallen into the product.  
• If the product has been exposed  
to rain or water.  
Lightning — For added protection for  
this product during a lightning storm,  
or when it is left unattended and un-  
used for long periods of time, unplug it  
from the wall outlet and disconnect the  
antenna or cable system. This will pre-  
vent damage to the product due to  
lightning and power-line surges.  
• If the product does not operate  
normally by following the operat-  
ing instructions. Adjust only those  
controls that are covered by the  
operating instructions, as an im-  
proper adjustment of other con-  
trols may result in damage and  
will often require extensive work  
by a qualified technician to restore  
the product to normal operation.

turer or having the same characteris-  
tics as the original part. Unauthorized  
substitutions may result in fire, electric  
shock, or other hazards.

PREPARATION  
Caution: Do not use the receiver/  
amplifier’s PHONO inputs. Doing  
so could damage the receiver/am-  
plifier.  
CONNECTING THE CD  
CHANGER  
Follow these steps to connect the CD  
changer to your audio system and to  
power.  
4. Plug the CD changer’s power cord  
into a standard AC outlet.  
USING THE REMOTE  
CONTROL  
Installing Batteries  
Your CD changer’s remote control re-  
quires two AA batteries (not supplied)  
for power. We recommend alkaline  
batteries, such as RadioShack Cat.  
No. 23-552, for the best performance  
and longest life.  
1. Select a location for your CD  
changer that is near your receiver/  
amplifier and a standard AC out-  
let.  
Caution: Do not place the CD  
changer on top of the receiver/am-  
plifier or any other component that  
gets hot.  
Cautions:  
• Always use fresh batteries of the  
required size and recommended  
type.  
Note: If you place the CD changer  
near other audio components or  
their wires, you might hear a hum  
when you play a CD. To eliminate  
the hum, move the components or  
their wires.  
• Do not mix old and new batteries,  
different types of batteries (stan-  
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable),  
or rechargeable batteries of differ-  
ent capacities.  
2. Plug one end of the supplied au-  
dio cable into the CD changer’s  
LINE OUT L (left) and R (right) out-  
put jacks, matching the red plug to  
the red R jack and the white plug  
to the white L jack.  
1. Pull the latch on the battery com-  
partment cover and lift it off.  
illustration  
3. Plug the other end of the cable  
into the receiver/amplifier’s left  
and right CD, AUX, or TAPE input  
jacks.  
8
 
42-5072.fm Page 9 Thursday, August 12, 1999 10:55 AM  
2. Install the batteries in the com-  
partment as indicated by the po-  
larity symbols (+ and –) marked  
inside.  
Using the Remote  
You can use the remote control for  
any of the CD changer’s functions ex-  
cept turning power on/off and opening/  
closing the CD compartment.  
For the best results, point the remote  
control toward REMOTE SENSOR on  
the front of the CD changer.  
illustration  
3. Replace the cover.  
You can use the remote control up to  
a distance of about 20 feet. If the re-  
mote control operates erratically or  
does not work, replace both batteries.  
Cautions:  
• Never leave dead or weak batter-  
ies in the remote control. Batteries  
can leak chemicals that can cor-  
rode the control.  
• If you will not be using the remote  
control for a month or more, re-  
move the batteries.

nism.  
3. Press DISC SKIP until the desired  
disc tray moves to the front. (Do

PLAYING CDS  
After you load CDs, follow these steps  
to play them.  
Warning: The CD-8250 has a wide  
dynamic range. If you set your amplifi-  
er’s volume too high during soft (low

damage your headphones, speakers,  
or hearing when a sudden loud pas-  
sage occurs.

Your Optimus CD-8250 5-Disc Compact Disc Changer is an example of superior  
design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for the CD  
changer so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the CD changer dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liq-  
uids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.  
Use and store the CD changer only in normal temperature environ-  
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic de-  
vices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Handle the CD changer gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage  
circuit boards and cases and can cause the CD changer to work im-  
properly.  
Keep the CD changer away from dust and dirt, which can cause pre-  
mature wear of parts.  
Wipe the CD changer with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it look-  
ing new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong de-  
tergents to clean the CD changer.  
Modifying or tampering with the your CD changer’s internal components can cause  
a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to  
operate it. If your CD changer is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra-  
dioShack store for assistance.

CD CARE TIPS  
THE FCC WANTS YOU  
TO KNOW  
Even though a compact disc is very  
durable, treat the CD surface with  
care. Here are some tips:  
This system complies with the limits  
for a Class B digital device as speci-  
fied in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These  
limits provide reasonable protection  
against TV or radio interference in a  
residential area. However, your sys-  
tem might cause TV or radio interfer-  
ence even when it is operating  
properly.  
• Do not place anything but a CD in  
the disc tray. This can damage the  
drive mechanism.  
• Do not write on either side of the  
CD, particularly the non-label side  
(signals are read from the non-la-  
bel side).  
To eliminate interference, you can try  
one or more of the following corrective  
measures.  
• Do not store CDs in high-  
temperature, high-humidity loca-  
tions. The CDs might warp.  
• Reorient or relocate the TV or ra-  
dio’s receiving antenna.  
• Keep CDs dry. A water drop can  
act as a lens and affect the laser  
beam’s focus.  
• Increase the distance between the  
system and the TV or radio.  
• Always handle a CD by the edges  
to avoid fingerprints and always  
keep it in its protective case or  
sleeve when not in use. Finger-  
prints and scratches on the CD’s  
surface can prevent the laser  
beam from correctly reading the  
digital information. To clean the  
CD surface, use a CD cleaner kit  
(such as Cat. No. 42-225). If the  
CD gets scratched, use Scratch ’n  
Fix (RadioShack Cat. No. 42-  
127).  
• Use outlets on different electrical  
circuits for the system and the TV  
or radio.  
Consult your local RadioShack store if  
the problem still exists.
