Infrared Music Maker™ Plus

Player/Recorder Owner’s Manual

Initial Setup

AC Line Operation

1. The power cord is located at the rear of the unit. Release the cord retainer tab and uncoil the cord.

2. Plug the cord into a standard 120 volt 50-60 Hz AC outlet. Be sure the plug blades are fully inserted.

THE UNIT IS ON WHEN PLUGGED IN.

Battery Operation

1. The battery compartment is located at the rear of the unit. Push the lever at the center of the door toward the rear

of the unit and then lift the door free.

2. Eight “D” or UM-1 size batteries are required. When installing the batteries refer to the orientation diagram shown

inside the battery compartment. Place the batteries on top of the nylon ribbon. This helps to “pop” old batteries out

when you need to replace them.

3. Replace the battery cover.

IMPORTANT:

Remove all batteries from your cassette unit if it will not be used for an extended period of time.

DO NOT LEAVE DISCHARGED BATTERIES IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT. DAMAGE TO THE UNIT DUE TO BATTERY

CORROSION IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

NOTE:

Califone cassette recorders are designed for use only with 60-minute Type 1 Normal Bias recording tape.

Headphone Listening

Listening with Wired Headphones

Two headphone jacks are located on the Music Maker™ - a single 3.5 mm jack (26) on the top and one 1/4” phone jack (27) on the rear of the cabinet. A jackbox can be plugged into either for multiple listeners.

Califone recommends using headphones for group listening situations.

2924AVP

3068AV

Listening with Wireless Headphones

The Infrared Music Maker™ provides for an unlimited number of 34B-IR infrared headphone listeners within its 15’ wireless transmission range. Six of these headphones come with the

6-person Wireless Listening Center (2395IRPLC-6) or can be purchased separately for use with the 2395IR.

Infrared audio is line-of-sight transmission. There must be an unobstructed view from the headphone to the Music Maker in order for reception to be heard. Audio signals are sent through the air by an FM (frequency modulation) carrier. Since the transmission is from a light source (LED, light emitting diodes) the system will not work in bright sunlight.

Suggestion: Best reception for all infrared headphones is when listeners form a maximum

10-15’ semi-circle in front of the Music Maker™.

To transmit audio from radio, CD or tape simply switch (49) to infrared headphone and transmission begins from the red IR domes (48). Both domes must remain uncovered in order to transmit.

34B-IR

Audio from speakers or to headphones

Audio will project from either the speakers OR to the wireless headphones - not to both at the same time.

Note: The internal speakers and headphone jacks are disconnected in IR mode. Only Califone 34B-IR infrared headphones

must be used to receive the audio (purchased separately).

Note: There is no limit on the number of headphones that can be used as long as there is nothing blocking

the transmission from the 2395IR.

Other Features and Functions

Extension Speaker Jacks

Stereo extension speakers may be plugged into the 1/4” L (left) and R (right) speaker jacks (28) on the rear of the cabinet.

NOTE: WHEN EXTENSION SPEAKERS ARE PLUGGED IN THE INTERNAL SPEAKERS ARE DISABLED

Microphone Jack

To record using a dynamic microphone, plug into the 3.5 mm jack (29) on the rear of the cabinet. Another jack, 2.5 mm (30) is provided for use with Califone model 4805AV microphone with remote Start/Stop.

RC-2300 Remote Control

• The RC 2300 provides most functions available on the Music Maker™ controls. It does not, however, function with tape operations.

• INTRO : One feature added to the remote is the Intro function. While in the CD mode press the ‘PLAY’ button, then press the

‘INTRO’ button. This will give a preview of each track for 10 seconds. Press the INTRO button again to resume normal play. If

the INTRO button is not pushed a second time, the preview will continue through the last track. Pushing PLAY, PAUSE or STOP

will not disengage the Intro function.

• MUTE : Mute is another feature added to the remote. It works with tape, AM/FM and CD functions.

• 10+ : This button allows you to jump forward a number of tracks rather than use the scan forward feature. From stop, pause

or play, pushing the 10+ button once will show a 1 and a flashing – (dash) see 1-. To jump to track 15 enter 5. To go to track

23 from track 6 press 10+ twice and see 2-. Enter 3 and jump to track 23.

Other Notes

- The ‘SCAN/SKIP’ buttons are the same as the Tuner p, ‘Skip forward|’ and Tuner q, Skip back |’ buttons on the boombox.

- The ‘REPEAT’ button is the same as the ‘PRESET/REPEAT’ button on the boombox.

- The ‘TIME’ button is the same as the ‘PLAY TIME’ button on the boombox.

Care and Maintenance

Care and Handling of Compact Discs

1. Handle the disc by its edges or center hole. To keep the disc clean, avoid touching the data surface.

2. Data is embedded directly beneath the label, protected only by a thin lacquer layer and is more vulnerable to damage than

the bottom. A scratch that penetrates the label will certainly destroy data, whereas a scratch on the bottom can often be

overlooked or corrected by the laser pickup.

3. Do not write on the label surface. A ballpoint will damage data; marking pens have solvents that may penetrate the top layer.

4. Do not stick paper or tape on the label surface; this probably won’t hurt the disc but might jam the disc drive.

5. Do not expose a disc to high temperature or humidity for an extended period of time. The disc material will soften at around 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Allow the disc to reach room temperature before playing if it has been subjected to extreme cold.

6. Preventive cleaning is unnecessary and potentially harmful. Clean only when required.

7. Clean a disc with a soft moistened cloth. Pat dry. Wipe the disc from the center out like spokes of a wheel. Never wipe across

a disc as you would an LP record.

8. Never use solvents, commercial cleaners or sprays designed for LP’s. Plain lukewarm water is recommended.

9. Keep discs protected at all times.

Care and Maintenance continued

Cassette Maintenance & Service Cleaning

The heads, capstan and pinch roller should be cleaned from time to time to prevent buildup of tape oxide, which degrades performance.

1. Remove cassette tape before cleaning.

2. Clean the head of all visible, reddish-brown oxide with a cotton-tipped swab moistened with a methyl alcohol

or any solution specifically manufactured for this purpose.

Caution: DO NOT scrape the head surface with hard, sharp or abrasive objects. This will permanently damage the heads.

3. Clean the pinch roller by scrubbing the surface of the roller with the moistened swab. Rotate the roller by hand

until the entire surface is clean.

4. Clean external case surfaces with a moist, soft cloth. Use only a mild detergent water solution.

Tape Head Demagnetization

It is recommended that the tape heads be demagnetized from time to time. This eliminates residual magnetism which degrades sound reproduction and the recording function.

1. After cleaning the heads and capstan, place the demagnetizer several feet away from the cassette unit and

plug it into an AC outlet.

2. Follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions supplied with the demagnetizer.
