SET-UP AND SAFETY------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please note the following instructions when setting up the system:

7The hi-fi system is designed for the playback of audio signals. Any other use is expressly prohibited.

7If 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.

7Do not cover the hi-fi system with newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc.

7When setting up the hi-fi system, remember that furniture is often coated with various types of varnish 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.

7If 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.

7The hi-fi system is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it outdoors, make sure it is protected from moisture such as dripping or splashing water.

7Only use the hi-fi system in a moderate climate.

7Do not place the hi-fi system close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.

7Do not place any vessels containing liquids, such as vases, on the hi-fi system. Do not insert any foreign objects in the CD compartment.

7Do not place any objects such as burning candles on the hi-fi system.

7Do not open the hi-fi system casing under any circumstances. Warranty claims are excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.

7Thunderstorms 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. Always disconnect the mains plug during a storm.

7Continuous use at high volume level can cause damage to the user’s hearing.

Note:

7Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on. Switch off the other devices as well before connecting them.

7Only plug the device into the mains socket after you have connected the external devices. Make sure the power plug is freely accessible.

CONNECTION AND PREPARATION----------------------------------------

Connecting the antenna Connecting a USB memory stick

1Plug the auxiliary antenna supplied or the roof antenna cable into the »FM ANT.« socket.

Note:

7If no roof antenna is available, use the auxiliary antenna supplied. When

suitably positioned, this antenna provides reasonably good reception of local

FM (VHF) channels. Do not shorten the auxiliary antenna.

The hi-fi system supports most USB memory sticks.

Note:

7The hi-fi system must be switched off while the USB connection is being made. If it is not switched off, data can be lost.

1 Switch off the hi-fi system by pressing »8«.

2Connect the USB interface of the MP3 player to the »USB« socket on the hi-fi system (on the left side) using a standard USB cable;

or

insert the USB plug of the USB memory stick in the »USB« socket on the hi-fi system (on the left side).

Notes:

7To remove the MP3 player or the USB memory stick, switch off the hi-fi system and pull out the cable for the data medium.

7The USB socket on the hi-fi system does not support a connection for a USB extension cable and is not designed for directly connecting to a computer.
