Philips Portable CD Player AX2301 Benutzerhandbuch

Only use the AY 3545 (4822 219 10033) or AY 3548 (3140 118 71890) car voltage
converter (4.5 V DC, positive pole to the centre pin) and the AY 3501 car adapter
cassette. Any other product may damage the set.

Put the set on a horizontal, vibration-free and
stable surface. Make sure it is in a safe place,
where the set is neither a danger nor an 
obstacle to the driver and the passengers.

Plug the voltage converter into the 
cigarette lighter socket (only for 12 V car 
battery, negative grounding), then connect
the wired end with 4.5V DC input socket on the
set.

If necessary, clean the cigarette lighter socket
to obtain a good electrical contact.

Turn down the volume and connect the cassette adapter plug to LINE OUT/p
on the set.

Carefully insert the cassette adapter into the car radio’s cassette compartment.

Make sure the cord does not hinder your driving.

Decease the volume on the set, if necessary. Start playback on the set and
adjust the sound with the car radio controls.

• Always remove the voltage converter from the cigarette lighter socket

car radio connection instead of the cassette adapter. Connect the signal
lead to this LINE IN socket and to LINE OUT/p on the set.
