Maintenance

Do not touch the lens A of the set.

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

The lens may cloud over when the set is

surroundings. Playing is not possible then.
Leave the set in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

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

Avoid dropping the set as this may cause damage.

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

To clean a disc, wipe it in a straight line from the centre towards 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 set 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.

General information

English

MP3 and AAC music files

The music compression technologies MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) and AAC
(Advanced Audio Coding) reduce the digital data of an audio CD significantly
while maintaining CD-like sound quality.With MP3, for example, you can
record up to 10 hours of CD-like music on a single CD-ROM.This set plays
MP3 and AAC music files.

How to get music files

Either download legal music files from the internet to your computer
harddisc 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.

Some encoder software offers an option to protect music files, i.e. the files
can only be played on the computer which created them. If you burn such
files on a CD-ROM, you cannot play them on this set. Make sure to
deactivate the protection option in the encoder software before creating
the music files. In this case you are responsible for adherence to all local or
international copyrights.

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

10

General information

English

This set will play all albums in alphabetical
order.An album name includes all folders in
which the album is located, e. g. the album
VERDI in CLASSIC has the album name
CLASSIC\VERDI.
The albums in the illustration will be played
in the following way:

CLASSIC 1
CLASSIC\MOZART 2
CLASSIC\VERDI 3
POP\BLUR 4
REGGAE 5

In POP there are no MP3 or AAC files.
POP is therefore skipped.

There may be an album VARIOUS with album
number 0 which will be played before all other
albums. VARIOUS contains all tracks which
you did not put into an album.

How to make a CD-ROM with MP3 or AAC files

Record (“burn”) the music files from your harddisc on a CD-ROM
with your computer´s CD burner.

Make sure that the file names of the MP3 and AAC files end with .mp3
and .aac respectively.

When burning your MP3-CDs, use either ISO 9660 disc format or UDF.
CD burning software like “DirectCD” or others support the UDF format.

centre pin) and the AY 3501 car adapter cassette. Any other product may
damage the set.

1 Put the set on a horizontal, vibration-free and

stable surface. Make sure it is in a safe place,
where the set is neither a danger nor an
obstacle to the driver and the passengers.

2 Connect the DC plug of the voltage converter

to 4.5V DC on the set (only for a 12 V car
battery,negative grounding).

3 Inser t the voltage converter into the cigarette

lighter socket. If necessar y,clean the cigarette lighter socket to obtain a good
electrical contact.

4 Turn down the volume and connect the adapter cassette plug to LINE OUT/p

on the set.

5 Carefully inser t the adapter cassette into the car radio’s cassette compartment.
