[. . . ] Replace the cover by placing it on the remote and sliding it back towards the top of the remote. NOTE: When replacing batteries it is always a good idea to replace both at the same time. When the unit will not be used for an extended period of time, it is also a good idea to remove the batteries so that the potential for corrosion or damage is avoided. Connect the power to a non-switched AC wall outlet, or to the accessory outlet on the rear of another audio device in your system and you are ready to go!NOTE: When using the accessory outlet on another product to power the FL8550 make certain that it has the ability to power a device that draws at least 20 watts of current in addition to the requirements of other devices that may be plugged into the accessory outlets. If you use a "switched" outlet, it is important to remember that the host product must be turned on in order for the FL8550 to operate. © Operation 10 Loading Discs To load a disc, first turn the FL8550 on using the Power Switch 1. Note that the Status Mode Indicator 2 will turn green and the Information Display Ô will illuminate. The word disc will flash in the Information Display, and the disc tray will automatically turn clockwise so that the FL8550 can sense which, if any, of the disc positions already have a disc. To load a disc, first press the Open/Close button !a, taking care to make certain that the space in front of the drawer is not obstructed. Note that if the drawer is blocked when attempting to open it, it will automatically close within five seconds to protect the mechanism. Load discs in the tray with the printed (label) side facing up towards you. Make certain that the disc is centered in the tray. Either 5" (12cm) or 3" (8cm) discs may be used. When a 3" (8cm) disc is played, it should be carefully centered within the smaller ridges on the tray. Only one CD may be placed in any position at a time. When a 3" (8cm) is played, DO NOT place a standard 5" (12cm) disc over the smaller disc. Labeled surface Note that each disc position has a number embossed in the plastic tray. This corresponds to the position this disc will occupy for playback and programming. To make it easier to identify each disc's position, the disc position number for the holder space that is in the center of the disc tray will also appear in the Information Display when the disc drawer is open.
