A: Although the 2395IR is a stereo media player, its transmitting signal with the HIR-HP1 is mono. When using the HIR-HP1 with the 2395IR, the stereo/mono switch on the HIR-HP1 should be set to mono.
A: The recording function is featured in one of the two cassette decks in our media players, not both. Users can record onto just one cassette tape at a time.
A: The remote start/stop microphone input jack featured in 2385-03, 2395AV-02, and 2395IR enables users to remotely start and stop the cassette player/recorder only. The CD functions can be remotely controlled by the included remote control.
A: Califone Music Maker™ Series Media Players (2385-03, 2395AV-02, 2395IR) and Performer Plus™ (2455AV-03) all feature Balance Control function which will properly play a split track CD.
A: Once the external speakers are connected to the 2455AV-03, 2385-03, 2395AV-02, or 2395IR through the speaker jacks, the audio will be distributed through the external speakers only; the built-in speakers will automatically be deactivated. The playback wattage would be equal to the wattage of the external speakers.
A: Full Auto Stop means in playback, recording, and rewind/fast forward modes, the cassette player/recorder motor will stop operating once the cassette reaches its end. With Auto Stop, the cassette player/recorder motor will stop operating in the playback mode only when the cassette reaches its end; the motor will continue running in the recording and rewind/fast forward modes until the user manually press the Stop key. Full Auto Stop automatically stops the motor which helps extending the life of the belt, a critical component of the cassette player/recorder. Califone Media Players 1776, 2385-03, 2395AV-02, 2395IR, and CAS1500 feature Full Auto Stop.

A: There is no preset limitation on the number of Infrared Stereo/Mono Headphones that can be used with the Infrared Music Maker Plus. The infrared signal transmission range from the dual IR diodes on the Infrared Music Maker Plus is 15’ line of sight; it will transmit clear audio to any number of Infrared Headphones that are within this range.
A: To keep the programmed radio stations in the media players, do not turn off the power at the end of the day; just leave the machine on the “stand by” position.
A: All Califone multimedia player/recorders have a “repeat” function that allows you to either repeat a single track or the entire CD. Press the ‘repeat’ button twice to have the CD start over on its own and “repeat all” will appear on the display. Read about other boombox controls.
A: The Performer Plus™ and all of the media players in the Music Maker™ series can be connected to external speakers via two ¼” output jacks located on the back of each player. When external speakers are connected, audio will not play through the media player.
A: The term “wow and flutter” applies only to cassette player/recorders and to the cassette function of boomboxes. “Wow” refers to the changes in frequency caused by irregular tape motion during recording or playback. “Flutter” is the rapid variation of signal parameters, such as amplitude, phase, and frequency.
A: Yes. The Music Maker Series multimedia players (2385-03, 2395AV-02, 2395IR) and our Performer Plus™ all come with the cord wraps on the back of the units.

The RC-2300 and RC-2400 may be purchased individually. Please contact our Customer Service Dept. for more information.
A: There is a speaker balance adjustment on the Performer Plus and most other Califone multimedia players. It should be normally set for the speaker balance to be in the center and not too far to the left or right.
