Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp
plug.To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp,A.S.T.A. or BSI

approved type.

3 Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.

If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of
5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the
distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note:The severed plug must be disposed to avoid a possible
shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket else­where.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following
code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

0 As these colours may not correspond with the colour

markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as fol­lows:

– Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or

coloured black.

– Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or

coloured red.

– Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the

plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and
yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord
grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over
the two wires.

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 CD­ROM 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
CD recorder/changer:

– Disc format: ISO 9660 or Joliet
– Filename: .mp3 (tracks), .m3u or .pls (playlists)
– Bit rate: 32–320 kbps (128 kbps advised) or variable bit

rate

Note: Use the ISO 9660 disc format when burning the CD­ROM. UDF disc format (e.g.”DirectCD” or

“WinOnCD”) is not supported.

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
CD(RW) by the edge and put it back
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!

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.
