The Arafuna portable CD player with built-in speaker (model CD5189B, serial number 31030155089006) is a versatile audio device designed for playing compact discs. It features an integrated speaker, allowing for standalone audio playback, but also offers connectivity options for external speakers or home theater systems.

Function Description:

The primary function of this device is to play audio CDs. It supports various playback modes, including repeating the current track (Rep 1), repeating all tracks (ALL), random play (RAND), and an intro mode that plays the first 10 seconds of each track (INTRO). The player also includes sound effects such as BBS (bass), POP, JAZZ, ROCK, and CLASSIC, which can be cycled through using the EQ button.

A key feature is its ability to function as a standalone speaker, providing audio output directly from the device. Additionally, it can be connected to external audio systems, such as a car stereo or home theater, via an AUX cable plugged into the headphone port.

The device incorporates a "last memory" function, which is enabled by default. When this function is ON, the player will resume playback from the last stopped track on the disc after being turned off and restarted. If the last memory function is OFF, the player will start playing from the first track on the disc upon restart. This setting can be toggled by long-pressing the PROG button for 3 seconds.

The CD player also offers a programming mode, allowing users to create a custom playlist. In this mode, users can select desired tracks using the PREVIOUS or NEXT buttons, confirm each selection with the PROG button, and then press PLAY to begin the programmed sequence. The STOP button can be used to exit the programming mode or cancel a programmed list.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific technical specifications like battery capacity or speaker wattage are not explicitly detailed, the manual indicates that the device is powered via a USB to Type C charging cable. It features a charging indicator: a red light signifies charging, and a green light indicates a full charge.

The player includes a 3.5 to 3.5 mm Aux cable for connecting to external audio devices. It also has a -VOL+ control, located next to the headphone port, for adjusting volume. The playback speed can be adjusted across 5 levels using the Speed-/+ controls.

Usage Features:

Power On/Off: To power on the device, push the power switch to ON. If the player enters standby mode after 20 seconds of inactivity, it can be restarted by pressing the play button.
Charging: Connect the provided USB to Type C charging cable to the USB port/charger to charge the device. The charging status is indicated by a red (charging) or green (fully charged) light.
Disc Playback: When "NOd" is displayed on the screen, it indicates that no disc is detected or the disc is incorrectly placed. Users should check the disc placement in the player.

Maintenance Features:

The manual does not explicitly detail maintenance features beyond the charging instructions. However, it is implied that proper handling of the disc and charging cable is necessary for the device's longevity. The inclusion of a carrying case suggests a focus on protecting the device during transport and storage.
