However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
  • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
  • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Unpacking and Set Up

  • Carefully remove the unit from the carton and remove all packing materials from the unit.
  • Carefully remove any small strips of tape which may have been used to keep the CD and Cassette doors closed during shipment.
  • Open the CD compartment by lifting up the OPEN/CLOSE tab on top panel. Inside the CD compartment you will see a "dummy" CD protection card which is used to prevent the laser pick-up from moving during shipment. Carefully remove this card and close the CD compartment door.
  • Please save the carton and packing materials in the event that your unit ever needs to be returned for service. The original carton and packing materials are the only way to protect the unit from damage during shipment.

Power Sources

This unit is designed to operate on 8 UM-2 "C" batteries, not included, or on normal 120V 60Hz AC house current. Operating this unit from any other power source may cause damage to the unit, and such damage is not covered by your warranty.

AC Operation

Connect the small end of the AC Power Cord to the AC socket on the back cabinet, then insert the plug in any convenient household 120V 60Hz AC outlet.

Emerson PD9814 - AC Operation - 1

natural_image Technical line drawing of a device housing with electrical connections (no text or symbols)

Note:

This unit has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. This plug will only fit into a matching polarized AC outlet. This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If this plug will not fit in your AC outlet, you probably have an outdated non-polarized outlet. You should have your outdated outlet changed by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the plug, or use an adapter to make the plug fit into your outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.

Protect Your Furniture

This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Listening To The Radio

Tuner Information

This system features a normal AM/FM analog tuning system. Unlike a digital tuner it does not automatically lock in on the exact frequency of a station. However instead of a dial scale and a moving dial pointer we have included a digital frequency display to help you tune more accurately.

Do not be concerned if you cannot easily tune the display to the exact frequency of your favorite stations, especially on the AM band. Slowly rotate the TUNING control until the display approaches the frequency of the desired station and stop when get the strongest, noise free reception - even if the display is not indicating the exact frequency of desired station.

1.) Slide the FUNCTION (CD/TAPE-OFF/RADIO) Selector to RADIO position. The LCD display light comes 'On'.
Select the desired band - AM, FM, or FM ST - by sliding the BAND selector.

2.) Rotate the TUNING control until the exact frequency of the desired station appears on the display, or until you are receiving the strongest, clearest signal.

Emerson PD9814 - Tuner Information - 1

If you have set the BAND selector to FM ST and you tune to a FM Stereo station the FM ST LED Indicator will light.

Note: If you are listening to a weak FM Stereo station you can usually improve the reception by moving the BAND selector from the FM ST position to the FM position, however the sound will now be mono.

Making A Tape Recording

This model allows you to make tape recordings directly from the CD player, or the radio.

  • Refer to "Playing Compact Discs" if necessary to operate the CD player.
  • Refer to "Listening To The Radio" if necessary to tune in the station you wish to record from radio.

1.) Press the ■△Stop/Eject key to open the cassette door.
2.) Insert a good quality blank cassette tape into the slots on the cassette door with the open end facing down and the full reel on the left. Use normal tape only. Do not use tape identified as "CrO₂" (Chrome) or "Metal" tape formulations. For best results use tapes of 60 minutes (C-60) or less. Do not use 90 minute or 120 minute tapes as these thinner tapes are more likely to jam in the mechanism.
3.) Close the cassette door.
4.) When you are ready to start recording press the ●Record key. The ▶Play key will also engage. The CD you are playing, or radio program you selected will be recorded directly on to the tape.
5.) Press the ☐Pause key during recording to stop the tape temporarily and avoid recording unwanted material such as radio commercials.
6.) When you have finished recording press the ■▲Stop/Eject key to stop and remove the tape.

Automatic Recording Volume Level Control

This unit has an Automatic Level Control (ALC) circuit which controls the recording volume level and prevents overloaded and distorted recordings. The VOLUME control has no effect on recording volume level. You may change the VOLUME control setting during the recording or even reduce the volume level to "Minimum". This will not effect the level of the recording.

Stereo Headphone Jack

Connect a set of stereo headphones (not included) with a 3.5mm mini plug to the Phones jack (located on left top cabinet) for private listening without disturbing others.

Before putting on the headphones reduce the VOLUME control to a low level, then put the headphones on and gradually increase the VOLUME control to a comfortable listening level.

The built in speakers are automatically disconnected when headphones are connected to the 📞 jack.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

About Cassette Tapes

Whenever you record on a cassette any previously recorded material is erased as the new material is recorded. To prevent you from accidentally erasing material which you wish to save, blank cassettes are equipped with erase prevention tabs for each side of the tape. If the erase prevention tab for side A is removed, you cannot accidentally record on side A. The record key cannot be depressed if the erase prevention tab on the cassette has been removed.

To prevent accidental erasing on side A of a cassette use a small screw driver or similar tool to break off the erase prevention tab for side A. This prevents the record key from locking.

Emerson PD9814 - About Cassette Tapes - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a cassette tape with two buttons and a label (no text or symbols)

TAB FOR SIDE A BREAK OUT TO PREVENT RECORDING

If later you do wish to record on side A of the cassette, cover the tab opening with a piece of cellophane tape. This will allow the record key to function again.

COVER OPENING WITH TAPE IN ORDER TO RECORD AGAIN.

Cassette Care

Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:

1.) Tape jamming – Leading to uneven speed in playback, and
2.) Tape tangling – Where the tape wraps itself around vital parts of themechanism.

To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following precautions should be observed:

- Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the cassette center window (see Fig. 1). Take up any loose layers, using a pencil or hexagonal barrelled ballpoint pen, before inserting the cassette into the machine (see Fig. 2).

- If the cassette feels "tight" while performing operation shown (see Fig. 2), the tape may be jamming due to "ridges" formed in the winding of the tape (visible through the center window). These may be removed, in most cases, by fast winding of the cassette from one end to the other and back again.

• Use only well-known brands of tape. Avoid use of C-120 cassettes.

natural_image Isometric diagram of a mechanical component with a screw and pin, labeled Fig. 2 (no text or symbols on the diagram itself)

Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil, and do not touch the tape surfaces.

Head Cleaning

The tape heads, pinch roller and capstan require periodic cleaning. This removes particles of the metal oxide coating that wear off the tape and accumulate on these parts and impair performance.

Disconnect the AC power cord, press the ■▲Stop/Eject key to open the cassette door, and press the ▶Play key. Clean the tape heads, pinch roller and capstan with a soft cloth or cotton pad dampened in isopropyl alcohol or special tape head cleaner.

Compact Disc Care

- To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

Emerson PD9814 - Compact Disc Care - 1

natural_image Two line drawings showing hands operating a circular device with an upward arrow, no text or symbols present.

- Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's recorded surface with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.

Emerson PD9814 - Compact Disc Care - 2

text_image Diagram illustrating three steps of cleaning a disc: holding a disc, applying paint to a ring, and removing a cleaner bottle labeled 'BENZERR' and 'CLEAHER'.
  • Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
  • Never write on or affix labels to the surface of compact discs.

Care Of The Cabinet

If the cabinet becomes dusty wipe it with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use any wax, polish sprays, or abrasive cleaners on the cabinet.

Caution

Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
