How to get MP3 music

Either download legal MP3 music from the internet or convert your audio CD into MP3 format with any MP3 encoder software, and then record onto a CD-R(W).

• To achieve a good sound quality a bit rate of at

least 128kbps is recommended for MP3 files.

• Some encoder software offer 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.

When burning the MP3-CD

• To avoid problems with playback or missing files, make sure the file names are typed in English text characters and that the MP3 files end with .mp3

• Use a writing software capable of recording MP3 track titles (files) in numerical and alphabetical order. For details on using the software, refer to the operating instructions of the software.

• When recording on a CD-RW, make sure that you close (finalize) all sessions in order for the set to read and play your tracks.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 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 of 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). As these colours may not correspond with the colour mar- kings 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.
