Power Supply Basic Functions

Power supply

Whenever convenient, use AC power if you
want to conserve batter y life. Make sure you
remove the plug from the set and wall outlet
before inserting batteries.

Batteries (not included)

• Insert 8 batteries, type R-14, UM2 or

C-cells (preferably alkaline) with the correct

polarity (See 2)

Batteries contain chemical substances, so
they should be disposed of properly.

Incorrect use of batteries can cause elec­trolyte leakage and will corrode the compart­ment or cause the batteries to burst:

• Do not mix battery types: e.g. alkaline with

carbon zinc. Only use batteries of the same
type for the set.

• When inserting new batteries, do not try to

mix old batteries with the new ones.

• Remove the batteries if the set is not to be

used for a long time.

Using AC power

1 Check if the power voltage, as shown on

the type plate located on the
back of the set, corresponds to your local

power supply. If it does not, consult your
dealer or service center.

2 Connect the power cord to the AC ~ inlet

and the wall socket.The power cord is now
connected and ready for use.

3 To switch the set off completely, withdraw the

power cord from the wall socket.

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall

socket to protect your set during heavy
thunderstorms.

The type plate is located on the back of
the set.

About MP3

The music compression technology MP3
(MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) significantly reduce
the digital data of an audio CD while main­taining CD quality sound.

• Getting MP3 files: you can either down­load legal music files from the internet to
your computer hard disc, or create such files
by converting audio CD files in your comput­er through appropriate encoder software.
(128kbps bit rate or higher is recommended
for MP3 files.)

• Creating a MP3 CD: burn the music files

from your computer hard disc on a CDR or
CDRW using your CD burner.

Helpful hints:

– Make sure that the file names of the MP3 files

end with .mp3.

– Total number of music files and albums: around

350 (with a typical file name length of 20 charac­ters)

– The length of file names affects the number of

tracks for playback.With shorter file names, more
files can be burned on a disc.
