POWER SOURCES
Your CD player requires 2 size “AA” alkaline batteries (not included), or the AC Adaptor (included).
BATTERY OPERATION
1.Apply slight downward thumb pressure on Battery Door (marked open), and gently slide it in an
outward direction to open the door.
2.Insert 2 size “AA” fresh alkaline batteries according to + and - polarity markings inside the battery
compartment. For longer operating life, heavy duty alkaline batteries are recommended (also see
TIPS ON BATTERY USE).
3.Close the Battery Door, making sure it is snapped into place.
NOTE: If you will not use your set for one week or more, remove the batteries and unplug the AC
Adaptor from the wall outlet.
TIPS ON BATTERY USE
Reversing polarities will damage the batteries and possibly
•
your set. Be sure to follow + and - markings as indicated.
Do not mix different types together (Alkaline, Carbon-
•
Zinc, Nickel-Cadmium etc.), or old batteries with new ones.
When not in use for an extended period of time, or while
•
internal batteries will not be used, remove them to prevent
possible acid leakage or corrosion resulting in damage
to your player.
Bear in mind that battery life expectancy is based upon
•
volume and bass listening levels and if ESP PLUS circuitry
is used. Using the ESP PLUS feature consumes more
power. Maximum battery power consumption happens at
maximum settings. Typical life for 2 size “AA” alkaline batteries is about 8 hours of continuous use.
If the set fails to switch tracks, or if it shuts off, your batteries are weak. Replace both batteries, or
use the AC Adaptor.
When the batteries have become discharged, they must be disposed of in a safe manner that
•
complies with all applicable laws.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the alkaline batteries are weak and discharged, this symbol “
” FLASHES in the display, then the
power automatically turns off. If this occurs, replace both batteries (also if display does not show
anything, batteries are dead).
This set can be used without batteries as long as the supplied AC Adaptor is connected.
•
NOTE: When proper power is in use, the “
” symbol will be steady on (not flashing).
TECHNICAL NOTE: Because of the special integrated circuits and servomotor in this set,
this set will not work with weak batteries, it will automatically shut off if
the batteries get too weak for proper operation.
BATTERY RECOVERY
When batteries get weak and cause the set to stop, if you wait about 30 minutes, the batteries will
regain a small amount of capacity and play for a few more minutes. This does not mean the set is
defective. Replace both batteries or use the AC Adaptor.
2
AC ADAPTOR OPERATION
Your CD player may be powered from any household 120V AC outlet, using the adaptor included.
Insert the adaptor’s small connector plug into the DC 4.5V Jack marked
set, and plug the adaptor into an AC outlet.
on the rear of the
N O T E : If the AC Adaptor is connected when regular batteries are installed, the player automatically
switches to the AC Adaptor power and the batteries are not used.
CAUTION:
To prevent electric shock, do not use this AC Adaptor with an extension cord or outlet, unless it can
be fully inserted without exposing any part of the blades. Do not use any other adaptor to power this
set or you may damage your set.
NOTE: The symbol “
” (steady on) shows you that proper power is being supplied.

TO PHONES JACK
HANDLING COMPACT DISCS
This set is designed to play only compact discs bearing this identification
logo
(logo must say DIGITAL AUDIO).
Other discs may not conform to the CD standard and may not play properly.
Dirty, scratched or warped discs may cause skipping or noise.
•
Handle the disc only by the edges. To keep clean, do not touch its surface.
•
Discs should be stored in their cases after use to avoid scratches.
•
•
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures,
or dust, etc. Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can warp
the disc (such as leaving the discs in your car during summertime).
Do not stick or write anything on either side of disc. Sharp writing
instruments, or the inks used in some felt-tip pens, may damage its surface.
•
CLEANING DISCS
Fingerprints should be carefully wiped from the surface of disc with a
•
soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves
to collect dust and microscopic dirt, so gently wiping them with a soft
cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight motion from the
center to the edge.
Never use thinner, benzine, record cleaner or antistatic spray on a
compact disc. Such chemicals can damage its plastic surface.
•
TO REMOVE THE DISC
Open the CD Door by sliding the Door Open Button, hold the disc by the
edge while slightly pressing on the center spindle as illustrated, then lift
it from the edge to release and remove.
NOTE
Always press the Stop Button and wait for the disc to stop rotating before
sliding the CD Door Open Button to remove the disc.

TM
40 SECOND ESP PLUS SYSTEM
This set is designed with 40 second ESP (Electronic Shock Protection), PLUSTM - which allows
virtually unlimited gentle skip protection, and 40 second normal shock protection.
The ESP PLUSTM function prevents the sound from skipping by using a buffer memory that stores
music data. The new ESP PLUSTM system can store more music than normal anti-skip systems.
This new design allows gentle swaying of the set without music skipping as in walking. This set will not
work during jogging.
Press the ESP Button to turn on the ESP PLUSTM system. Press it
again to turn it off.
When the ESP PLUSTM function is switched ON or OFF during play, the
sound will be interrupted for a few seconds. This is normal.
When the ESP Button is pressed during play, the “
” (memory basket)
indicator will appear in the Display, the digital data equivalent to DISPLAY WITH EMPTY MEMORY
approximately 40 seconds of music is stored in the “read-ahead” memory
buffer before it is decoded and played.
The “
” mark changes to the “ ” mark, indicating that the memory
buffer (basket) is full.
When the set is subject to a shock or a bump during play, the data
stored in memory continues to be decoded and played. This gives
the pickup time to stabilize and continue reading new music. As the
•
DISPLAY WITH FULL MEMORY
data is used from memory, the indicator changes from “ ” to “ ”.
Once the pickup returns to its original position, new data is stored in
memory and the Display changes back to the “ ” mark.
If the set is subject to repeated shocks and all the data stored in
•
memory is used up, the “
” mark is displayed and the sound will skip

THE SET IS SHOCKED
or stop for a brief period until the memory basket has time to fill up
again.
To turn off the 40 second ESP PLUSTM function, press the ESP Button
again.
•
•
Keep the digital ESP function off when using the set in a stable, no
vibration area, where it will not receive shocks. The batteries will last
longer when the ESP function is off.
NOTE:
ALL MEMORY IS
USED UP
- The music may stop if the player receives continuous shocking.
- You may hear noise or skipping if the CD is dirty or scratched.
- If during ESP play, you press Pause, or Search buttons, the memory
basket will empty itself temporarily.

CONNECTING TO HOME STEREO SYSTEMS
The Aux Out Jack is made to accept a stereo mini plug (3.5mm). By using a commercially available
audio line cable (not included), simply connect the cable’s mini plug to the Aux Out Jack on your
player, and the other appropriate end usually RCA JACKS to the CD/AUX INPUTS of your home
stereo.
N O T E : Always switch the power off before making any connections between the player and any
other set.
N O T E : The Volume Control of your player becomes inoperable whenever Aux Out Jack is used.
Adjustments are made on your audio system.

CLEANING THE CABINET
Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dirty, dampen (not dripping wet) the cloth with a weak
solution of soapy water, and then wipe clean.
CLEANING THE LENS
A dirty lens will cause sound skipping. If the lens is very dirty, the player may not work. We suggest
using a special cleaning disk (not included) available in most music and Hi-Fi stores. However, if you
do not have one, you may use the instructions below.
You may use a cotton swab very slightly dampened with alcohol to clean the lens (start in the middle
and work you way out).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not take the set apart. The laser beam used in the set may harm your eyes. Refer servicing to
qualified service personnel only.
Do not insert pins or coins, clips, or any objects inside the set.
This set is equipped with a safety device which automatically turns the laser beam off when the CD
door is opened.
Do not drop the set or subject it to strong shocks. Doing so could result in damage.
Do not place the set in locations where the temperature is high, or in humid or dusty locations, or
locations with long heavy vibrations, or tilted surfaces. The anti-skip feature prevents short duration
skipping or stopping of music.
The set’s cabinet may warp or the set may otherwise be damaged if it is placed in direct sunlight,
near heaters (where the temperature is 1400F/600C or higher) or in cars with the windows closed.
In the summer, the temperature may get as high as 2120F /1000C or more.
Use the set within a temperature range of 410F/ 50C to 950F / 350C.
Use ONLY the AC Adaptor provided, others may damage your set. Disconnect the Adaptor from
the wall outlet when the set is not to be used for an extended period of time (3 days or more).
When cleaning your set, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use solvents or commercially available
cleaners, as they may damage or discolor the finish.
Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle. This could create a traffic hazard and is
illegal in many areas. Do not use this set when bicycling or running.
The headphones supplied with your set provide superb stereo listening while allowing you to hear
some outside sounds when listening at normally low volume levels. Listening at extremely high
volume levels minimizes the intrusion of outside noise/sounds. In the interest of safety, it is
strongly advised against the use while engaging in activities where the exclusion of external
sounds (whistles, horns, sirens, traffic, etc.) could be hazardous. Also loud volume can hurt your
ears. If you notice that the sound has become weak or distorted or if tracks do not change, this is
an indication that your batteries are low. Replace both batteries at the same time (see BATTERY
OPERATION).
Your CD-91 is identified by a serial number located in the Battery Compartment. Record this
number in the space provided below.

This booklet contains detailed information on its safety and use. Please read it carefully so that
your may take full advantage of its many features, and ensure a safe reliable operation. Keep this
booklet for future reference.
CONDENSATION
If cold water is poured into a glass, water droplets form on the outside of the glass. This is called
condensation. Condensation may occur on internal operating parts of the lens.
Condensation occurs:
When the set is brought from the cold outdoors into a warm room, or if it is in a cold room to a room
which is heated, or in the summer, if the set is moved from an air-conditioned room or car to a hot or
humid location. Should condensation occur, the set may not operate properly.
Open the CD Door and wait for about 20 minutes (to allow the internal parts to adjust to the surrounding
temperature) before using the set.

Because our products are subject to continuous improvement, Lenoxx reserves the right to modify
product designs and specifications without notice and without incurring any obligation.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT BATTERIES
Fresh alkaline batteries will work for about 8 hours of continuous play.
If your set does not switch tracks or shuts down by itself, this means your batteries are weak and
cannot supply enough current.
Either replace both batteries with fresh alkaline batteries or use the AC Adaptor (or car cord).
This set has a built-in Low Battery indicator. When this symbol “
” flashes in your Display, both
batteries need to be replaced ( the batteries may still have some life in them, but too low for use
by a CD player). The indicator “ ” (steady on) shows you that proper power is being supplied.
N O T E : You may use rechargeable batteries on this set. However, because rechargeable batteries
generally have lower voltage (1.2 volts instead of 1.5 volts). Your playing time will be
much less than normal fresh alkaline batteries.
