A 3.5 mm aux input and headphone jack provide direct connections for external devices and private listening.

Recommendations

For optimal radio reception place the external antenna upright and away from large metal objects; when playing CDs use discs without deep scratches and choose CD-R/RW discs finalised for compatibility. Keep the device ventilated and avoid placing it on soft surfaces that block air flow to maintain reliable operation of the optical disc mechanism and amplifier.
