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.

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.

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.

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, such as vases, on the hi-fi sys­tem. Do not insert any foreign bodies in the CD compartment. Do not place
any objects such as burning candles on the hi-fi system.

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.

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.
