SET-UP AND SAFETY
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note the following instructions when setting up the system:
7
The hi-fi system is designed for the playback
of audio signals. Any other use is expressly
prohibited.
7
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.
7
Do not cover the hi-fi system with newspapers,
table cloths, curtains, etc.
7
When 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.
7
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.
7
The 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.
7
Only use the hi-fi system in a moderate climate.
7
Do not place the hi-fi system close to heating
units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair
cooling.
7
Do not place any vessels containing liquids,
such as vases, on the hi-fi system. Do not insert
any foreign objects in the CD compartment.
7
Do not place any objects such as burning candles on the hi-fi system.
7
Do not open the hi-fi system casing under any
circumstances. Warranty claims are excluded
for damage resulting from improper handling.
7
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. Always disconnect the mains plug during a storm.
7
Continuous use at high volume level can cause
damage to the user’s hearing.
Note:
7
Do not connect any other equipment while
the device is switched on. Switch off the other devices as well before connecting them.
7
Only 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
1 Plug the auxiliary antenna supplied or the
roof antenna cable into the »FM ANT.«
socket.
Note:
7
If 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.
Connecting a USB memory stick
The hi-fi system supports most USB memory
sticks.

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