General information
Some words about MP3
The revolutionary new music compression technology MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) enables to shrink down original digital audio sound data with a factor of up to 10 without losing significant sound quality.This allows you to record up to 10 hours of CD-like quality music on a single CD-ROM.
Making your own MP3-CD
Basically there are two sources for MP3 music on CD.You can either create (“rip”) it from your own digital audio CDs
or
download legal MP3 music from the Internet.
Record (“burn”) the music from your hard disc on CD-ROM with your home PC (make sure filename ends with .mp3). Once finished, you can play your MP3-CD on this set and enjoy the music.
Data rate
The data rate is of great importance with MP3. It indicates how fast bits are transfered.
Stereo music on a CD shows a data rate of about
1400 kilobits per second (kbps). To achieve a good MP3 quality a bit rate of 128 kbps is recommended. As the encoding rate is user-selectable, make sure to reach this data rate for MP3 as recordings less than 128 kbps will suffer from a degradation in sound quality.
Recording
Downloading MP3 files from the Internet or ripping songs from your own digital audio CDs is a delicate process, also influenced by the quality of the encoder program and speed of your PC.This may sometimes result in “drop-outs” which you may experience while listening to your MP3-CD.
In any case make sure to use a recording speed not faster than indicated on the CD-ROM and avoid running other programs simultaneously on your PC during the recording process.
It is not possible to “burn” an MP3-CD on this CD recorder.
It is not possible to record from an MP3-CD.
Supported formats
Following formats are supported on this CDR Mini Hi-Fi system:
–Disc format: ISO 9660, Joliet or UDF v1.5
–Filename: .mp3 (tracks), .m3u or .pls (playlists)
–Bit rate: 32–320 kbps (128 kbps advised) or variable bit
rate
Maintenance
Clean the set with a soft, slightly dampened lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents as they may have a corrosive effect.
Do not expose the set,
batteries or CDs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).
The lenses may cloud over when the set is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a CD(RW) is not possible then. Leave the set in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.
Disc handling
For recording it is very important to use dust and scratch free discs.
To take a CD(RW) out of its box |
|
easily, press the centre spindle while |
|
lifting the CD(RW). Always pick up a |
2 |
CD(RW) by the edge and put it back |
1 |
after use. Never write on a CD or attach a sticker to it.Write only on
the printed side of a CDR or CDRW,and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.
To clean a CD(RW), wipe it in a straight line from the centre toward the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. A cleaning agent may damage the disc!

connects to the digital optical output of an external digital source (CD player, DVD, DAT, etc.), so you can record from this source (AUX OPTICAL)
3DIGITAL IN
connects to the digital coaxial output of an external digital source (CD player, DVD, DAT, etc.), so you can record from this source (AUX DIGITAL)
4DIGITAL OUT
connects to the digital coaxial input of an amplifier/receiver or digital recording device, so you can listen to playback of this set
5ANALOG IN
connects to the line (analog) output of an amplifier/receiver or other analog source (tape deck, tuner etc.), so you can record from this source (AUX ANALOG). For recording from a record player both recorder and record player should be connected to an amplifier/receiver
6ANALOG OUT
connects to the line (analog) input of an amplifier/receiver or analog recording device, so you can listen to playback of this set
Setup recommendations
–Place the set on a solid, vibration free surface.
–Make sure there is sufficient space around the set to prevent overheating.
–Do not place the set near a source of heat or in direct sunlight.
–Do not use the set under extremely damp conditions.
–If the set is placed in a cabinet, make sure that a 2.5 cm space remains free on all sides of the CD recorder for proper ventilation.
–Active mobile phones near to the set may cause malfunctions.
–Place the set below your receiver.
Connections general
NEVER MAKE OR CHANGE CONNECTIONS WITH THE POWER SWITCHED ON
For playback on both recorder deck and changer deck the set should be connected to your amplifier/receiver. For this the following outputs are present:
–Digital coaxial output (DIGITAL OUT);
–Analog output (ANALOG OUT).
For external recording the following inputs are present:
–Digital optical input (OPTICAL IN);
–Digital coaxial input (DIGITAL IN);
–Analog input (ANALOG IN).
These inputs can be connected to the corresponding output(s) of your amplifier/receiver or directly to the corresponding output(s) of the external source. Record players cannot be connected directly to the set.
The connections you make will depend upon the possibilities your audio equipment offers and how you are going to use the set. Please refer to the user manuals for your other audio equipment first.
Digital recordings (optical or coaxial) give the best performance in audio and usability.
If possible, always make both digital and analog connections. In this way you can always make analog recordings when digital
recording is not possible. |
