Information about products that generate
electrical noise
If applicabl e, th i s e qu ipm ent ha s been t e sted an d fo un d to
comply with the limit s for a Class B di gital device, p ursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to
provide r ea sonable pr ote ction against har mful in terf er ence
in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, this is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interf erence to radio or television r e cep tion ,
which can be de term ined by turning th e equipm ent of f and
on, you are encouraged to t ry to corr ect the inte rference by
one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit
than the one to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the deale r or an experienced radi o/TV technician
for help.
Note: Unauthorized modification of the receiver or radio
remote control could void the user’s authority to operate this
equipment.

Important Sa fety Instructions
18. Use Proper Power Sources – Plug the product into
a proper power source, as described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the product.
19. Avoid Power Lines – Use extreme care when installing an outside antenna system to keep from touching
power lines or circuits, as contact with them may be
fatal. Do not install external antennas near overhead
power lines or other electri c light or powe r circui ts, nor
where an antenna can fall into such circuits or po wer
lines.
20. Ground All Outdoo r Ant e nn as – If an external
antenna or cable system is connected to this product,
be sure the ant enna or ca ble sy stem is gr ou nded. This
will provide some p rotection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA No. 70 provides information with respect to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the ground electrode.

Playing music fi le (MP3) CDs
Your Wave® music system can play MP3 music files recorded on CD-R and CD-RW discs.
You can easily navigate through your music files using the Tu ne/MP3 and Seek/Track
remote control buttons.
Note: MP3 is a music compression technology that reduces a song’s file size without noticeable
effect in the quality of the sound. Through compression algorithms, the MP3 format makes it
easy for you to store many times the number of songs you would find on a conv entional audio
CD. In fact, an MP3 CD can contain as much music as ten standard audio CDs on just one disc,
which can then be organized into folders on a PC before being stored on the disc.
Music files on an MP3 CD are played according to the folder structure on the disc.
For example:
Folders on CD:
Root level
Folder 1
Folder 2

The Wave

music file CDs.
Note: The audio quality of MP3 CDs is dependent on factors such as the encoded bit rate, the
sampling rate, and the type of encoder used. The Wave
®
music system supports MP3 CDs
encoded at bit rates of 64kbps or higher, and sampling rates of 32kHz or higher. It is recommended that a bit rate of at least 128kbps and a sampling rate of 44.1kHz or better be used.
Note: Playback quality of recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs is dependent on the CD recording
process and software used to record the disc. An improperly recorded audio CD may cause the
system to exhibit unexpected behavior.
