Maintenance

Do not touch the lens A of
the unit.

Do not expose the unit, batteries
or discs to humidity, rain, sand or
excessive heat (caused by heating
equipment or direct sunlight).

The lens may cloud over when the unit is suddenly moved
from cold to warm surroundings. Playing is not possible then.
Leave the unit in a warm environment until the moisture
evaporates.

Active mobile phones in the vicinity of this unit may cause
malfunctions.

Avoid dropping the unit; this may cause damage.

Clean the unit with a soft, slightly dampened lint-free cloth.
Do not use any cleaning agents; they may have a corrosive
effect.

To clean a disc, wipe it in a straight line from the center
toward the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. Cleaning agents
may damage the disc.

Environmental information

All redundant packing material has been omitted. We have
done our utmost to make the packaging easily separable
into three mono materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene
foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,protective foam sheet).

Your unit consists of materials which can be recycled if
disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the
local regulations regarding the disposal of packing materials,
exhausted batteries and old equipment.

MP3 music files

The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio
Layer 3) reduces the digital data of an audio CD significantly
while maintaining CD-like sound quality.With MP3 you can
record up to 10 hours of CD-like music on a single CD-ROM.

How to get music files

Either download legal music files from the internet to your
computer hard disc or create them from your own audio
CDs. For this, insert an audio CD into your computer´s
CD-ROM drive and convert the music using an appropriate
encoder software.To achieve a good sound quality, a bit rate
of 128 kbps or higher is recommended for MP3 music files.

Batteries (supplied or optionally available)

Inserting batteries

● Open the battery compar tment

and insert 2 alkaline batteries of
type AA (LR6, UM3).

Do not mix old and new or
different types of batteries.

Indication of empty batteries

● Replace the batteries or connect

the power adapter as soon as

A

blinks and REPLACE BATTERIES
is scrolled.

Remove batteries if they are empty or if the unit will not be
used for a long time.

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

Average playing time of 2 alkaline batteries under normal
conditions:

Audio disc MP3-CD

ESP on 11 hours 11 hours

ESP and powersaving on 15 hours 23 hours

Headphones

● Connect the supplied headphones

to LINE OUT/p.

Note: LINEOUT/p can also be
used for connecting this unit to your
HiFi system. Set VOL E on this
unit to position 8 and adjust volume
and sound with your HiFi system.

Use your head when using headphones

Hearing safety
Do not play your headset a high volume. Hearing experts
advise against continuous extended play. If you experience a
ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.

Traffic safety
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may
create a traffic hazard and it’s illegal in many areas.You
should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use
in potentially hazardous situations. Even if your headset is
an open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds,
don’t turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s
around you.

How to organize music files

In order to easily handle the large number of music files on
a CD-ROM, you can organize them in folders (“albums”).

The tracks of an album will be played in alphabetical order.
If you want to arrange them in a certain order, let the file
names start with numbers. For example:

001-ONEWORLD.MP3
002-FIRESTARTER.MP3
003-DEEP.MP3

Albums will be arranged in alphabetical order, but subfolders
(albums within another album) will be played immediately
after the album in which they are located. Albums without
MP3 files will be skipped.

If there are MP3 files which you did not put into an album,
you will find them in the album VARIOUS with album
number 0. VARIOUS is the first album that will be played.

When playing a disc with CD Audio tracks and MP3 files,
the CD Audio tracks will be played first.

How to make a CD-ROM with MP3 files

Use your computer´s CD burner to record (“burn”) the
music files from your hard disc on a CD-ROM. Use either
ISO 9660 disc format or UDF. Some CD burner software
like e. g.“DirectCD” support the UDF format.

Make sure that the file names of the MP3 files end with .mp3.

Supported formats

This unit supports:
– Disc format: ISO9660, Joliet, Multisession, UDF,

Enhanced Music CD, Mixed Mode CD
– MP3 bit rate: 32–320 kbps and variable bit rate
– Total number of music files and albums: around 350

(with a typical file name length of 20 characters)

Note:The number of music files that can be played depends
on the length of the file names. With short file names more
files will be supported.

All trademarks used are owned by their respective owners.

Power adapter (supplied or optionally available)

Use only the AY 3170 power adapter (4.5 V /300 mA direct
current, positive pole to the center pin).Any other product
may damage the unit.

1 Make sure the local voltage

corresponds to the adapter´s
voltage.

2 Connect the power adapter to

4.5V DC on the unit and to the
power outlet.

Note: Always disconnect the adapter if you are not using it.
