SAFETY & MAINTENANCE
CD player, SOUNDSTATION and CD handling
• Do not touch the lens A of the CD player.
• Do not expose the unit, batteries or CDs to humidi-
ty, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating
equipment or direct sunlight).
• You can clean the CD player with soft, slightly
dampened, lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agent as it may have a corrosive effect.
• To clean the CD, wipe it in a straight line from the center toward the edge
using soft, lint-free cloth. The cleaning agent may damage the disc! Never
write on a CD or attach a sticker to it.
• The lens may cloud over when the unit is moved suddenly from cold to warm
surroundings. In that case, playing a CD is not possible. Leave the CD player in
a warm environment until the moisture has evaporated.
• Active mobile phones in the vicinity of the CD player may cause malfunctions.
• Avoid dropping the unit as this may cause damage.
ABOUT MP3 / WMA
The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) and WMA
(Windows Media Audio) significantly reduce the digital data of an audio CD while
maintaining CD quality sound.
• Getting MP3/WMA 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 and 96 kbps bit rate for WMA
files.)
• Creating a MP3/WMA CD: burn the music files from your computer hard
disc on a CDR or CDRW using your CD burner. You can use the by-packed
EXPANIUM CD-ROM (free MusicMatch Jukebox software) to create your
own MP3 CD. For more information, please visit www. musicmatch.com.
Helpful Hints:
– Make sure that the file names of the MP3 files end with .mp3 and WMA files
end with .wma
– 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 short-
er file names, more files can be burned on a disc.
