Please note the following information 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. Do not place objects on the ventilation
slots. Do not cover the hi-fi system with newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc.
7
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.
7
Do not use any cleaning agents as they may damage the housing. Clean the hi-fi system with a
clean, dry cloth.
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 outside, please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or water splashes.
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 (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.
7
Do not open the hi-fi system casing under any
circumstances. Warranty claims are excluded for
damage resulting from improper handling.
SET-UP AND SAFETY
______________________________________________
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 or
the antenna cable. Always disconnect the mains
and antenna plugs during a storm.
7
Make sure the power plug is freely accessible.
Magic Fidelity
The sound concept
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.
