Yes, insert the USB drive into the USB port on the front panel, then select USB as the source using the remote.

The remote control is not working. What should I do?

First, check if the batteries are inserted correctly and have charge. If still not working, replace the batteries. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the player.

How do I clean the lens of the DVD player?

Use a lens cleaning disc specifically designed for DVD players. Do not attempt to clean the lens manually, as it may damage the player.

The player does not read discs. What can I do?

Ensure the disc is inserted with the label side up. Check the disc for scratches or dirt. Clean the disc with a soft cloth from the center outward. If the problem persists, try a different disc.

Can I play region 1 DVDs on this player?

The Emerson HD2700 is typically region-free or set to region 1 (North America). Check the specifications or try playing a disc from another region; if it doesn't work, you may need to unlock the region via a code.

The player makes a loud noise when starting. Is this normal?

OWNER'S MANUAL

Visit our web site at www.emersonradio.com

Thank you......

For purchasing this Emerson Personal CD Player. It has a 24 track programmable memory so you can listen to the songs on your favorite CD's in any order you choose. Or you can use the Random playback feature and let the player select the playback order for you. Use the 3-way Repeat feature to repeat a single track, the entire disc, or a programmed sequence of tracks, indefinitely. We've also included a 45 Second Electronic Anti-Skip Memory which makes this player virtually skip-free under normal circumstances.

There's a Dynamic Bass Boost Control that increases and enhances the bass response, and a set of lightweight stereo headphones that are so comfortable you may forget you have them on. And finally, this player not only plays all professionally recorded commercial CD's, but it plays recordable CD's (CD-R music discs) and rewriteable CD's (CD-RW music discs) as well. So if you or your friends are "burning" your own CD's on your computer CD-R drives, or on home audio type CD recorders, you can be sure that they are playable on the CD Cruiser personal CD player from Emerson.

Please read this instruction manual completely and carefully to make sure you understand the proper operation of this product, and get the maximum enjoyment out of all the features of this state-of-the-art CD player.

ELECTRONIC ANTI-SKIP PROTECTION

This CD player is equipped with an automatic 45 second Electronic Anti-Skip Memory and an Anti-Rolling Mechanism that will eliminate virtually all skipping under normal conditions. When you press the PLAY/PAUSE ▶ button to begin playback the player immediately begins to store 45 seconds of music in a solid state memory that is impervious to shock. The player is always reading the disc 45 seconds ahead of the music you are hearing and storing that information in the memory. If the player is subjected to shock or bumps of less than 45 seconds duration you will not notice them at all. If the bumps last longer than 45 seconds the anti-skip memory may be depleted and the player may skip or stop.

When playback begins the Anti-Skip indicator comes on and a series of "bars" appear in the display. When all 5 "bars" appear the Anti-Skip memory contains 45 seconds of music and is "full". If the player is bumped or shaken the "bars" may start to disappear as the memory is depleted. If all 5 "bars" disappear the memory is empty and the player may skip if the bumps continue.

When the bumps stop the memory starts to fill up again and all 5 "bars" will reappear.

CONNECTION TO AN EXTERNAL AUDIO SYSTEM

You can connect this CD player to a home stereo system, receiver, amplifier, or recorder if desired. Connect the LINE OUT jack of this CD player to the Left/Right Auxiliary Inputs, Line Inputs, or Record Inputs of the external device. The connection cable is NOT included. Set the DBBS(Bass Boost) switch of this CD player to the 'OFF' position. Be sure to follow the external source connection instructions for the other equipment as well.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE CABINET

Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dirty, dampen the cloth with a weak solution of neutral detergent and water, and then wipe clean.

CLEANING THE LENS

A dirty lens will cause sound skipping and, if the lens is very dirty, the CD may not work. Open the disc cover and clean the lens as follows:

DUST OR DRY PARTICLES

Using a camera lens brush/blower, blow on the lens several times, then wipe it lightly with the brush to remove dust. Then, blow on the lens once more.

FINGERPRINTS

To remove fingerprints from the lens, use a cotton swab starting in the middle and working to the outside edge. Use only very light pressure on the lens to avoid forcing it out of alignment.
