ENGLISH

Please note the following information when setting up the system: The hi-fi system is designed for the playback of audio signals. Any other use

is expressly prohibited. If you want to set up the hi-fi system on wall shelves or in cupboards, please

ensure that it is adequately ventilated. There must be at least 10 cm of space at the side, above and behind the hi-fi system. Do not place objects on the ventilation slots. Do not cover the hi-fo system with newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc.

Please note when setting up the hi-fi system that furniture surfaces are coated with various types of paint and plastic, which often contain chemical additives. These additives may cause corrosion to the feet of the unit. This may leave stains on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove.

Do not use any cleaning agents as they may damage the housing. Clean the hi-fi system with a clean, dry cloth.

If the hi-fi system is exposed to sudden changes in temperature, for example when taken from the cold into a warm room, wait at least two hours before using it.

The hi-fi system is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it outside, please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or water splashes.

Only use the hi-fi system in a moderate climate. Do not place the hi-fi system close to heating units or in direct sunlight,

as this will impair cooling. Do not place any vessels containing liquids (for example, vases) on the hi-fi

system. Do not place any naked flames such as candles on the hi-fi system. Do not insert any foreign bodies in the CD compartment.

Do not open the hi-fi system casing under any circumstances. Warranty claims are excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.

Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the hi-fi system is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains or the antenna cable. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.

Make sure the power plug is freely accessible.

Magic Fidelity. The sound concept from Ovation.

Magic Fidelity is a new, three-channel active loudspeaker system developed and patented by Grundig, which produces powerful and brilliant sound.

A bass speaker as well as two medium and treble speakers, each in their own casing, create an outstanding sound experience.
