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

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 as this may cause damage.

Clean the unit 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 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 tried to make
the packaging easy to separate into three single 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, dead 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 unit 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 unit.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 unit 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 that 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 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 “ Direct CD” or others support the UDF format.

the center pin) and the AY 3501 car adapter cassette. Any other product
may damage the unit.

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

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

3 Insert the voltage converter into the cigarette

lighter jack. If necessary, clean the cigarette lighter jack to obtain a good
electrical contact.
