MCD149

Important notes for users in the U.K.

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 markings 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.

Advarsel: Usynlig laserstråling ved åbning når sikkerhedsafbrydere er ude af funktion. Undgå utsættelse for stråling.

Bemærk: Netafbryderen er sekundært indkoblet og ofbryder ikke strømmen fra nettet. Den indbyggede netdel er derfor tilsluttet til lysnettet så længe netstikket sidder i stikkontakten.

Klass 1 laseraparat Varning! Om apparaten används på annat sätt än i denna bruksanvisning specificerats, kan användaren utsättas för osynlig laserstrålning, som överskrider gränsen för laserklass 1.

Observera! Stömbrytaren är sekundärt kopplad och bryter inte strömmen från nätet. Den inbyggda nätdelen är därför ansluten till elnätet så länge stickproppen sitter i vägguttaget.

Luokan 1 laserlaite

Varoitus! Laitteen käyttäminen muulla kuin tässä käyttöohjeessa mainitulla tavalla saattaa altistaa käyttäjän turvallisuusluokan 1 ylittävälle näkymättömälle lasersäteilylle.

Oikeus muutoksiin varataan. Laite ei saa olla alttiina tippu-ja roiskevedelle.

Huom. Toiminnanvalitsin on kytketty toisiopuolelle, eikä se kytke laitetta irti sähköverkosta. Sisäänrakennettu verkkoosa on kytkettynä sähköverkkoon aina silloin, kun pistoke on pistorasiassa.

Care and safety information

Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust

● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to

humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight). Always keep disc trays closed to avoid dust buildup on the lens.

● No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall

be placed on the apparatus.

● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,

should be placed on the apparatus.

● The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping

or splashing.

How to transfer music files from PC to a USB mass storage device

By dragging and dropping music files, you can easily transfer your favorite music from PC to a USB mass storage device. For the flash player, you can also use its music management software for the music transfer.

However, those WMA files may be unplayable for compatibility reasons.

How to organize your MP3/WMA files on the USB mass storage device

This Hi-Fi system will browse the MP3/WMA files in the folders/sub-folders/titles order. Example:

Root

Title 001 Title 002

Title 003

Album 01

Title 001 Title 002

Title 003

Album 02

Playing a USB mass storage device

1 Check the USB device has been properly

connected. (See Connections: Connecting a USB device or memory card).

2 Press SOURCE once or more (or press USB

on the remote control) to select USB source.

- NO USB appears if no audio file is found in the USB device.

3 Play the USB's audio files as you do with the

albums/tracks on a CD (See Disc Operations).

Notes: –For compatibility reasons, the album/track information may differ from what it is displayed through flash players' music management software.

Title 001 Title 002 Title 003 Album 03

Title 001 Title 002 Title 003

Organize your MP3/WMA files in different folders or subfolders as required.

Notes: – If you have not organized MP3/WMA files into any albums on your disc, an album "00" will be automatically assigned for all those files. – Make sure that the file names of MP3 files end with .mp3. and the file names of WMA files end with .wma. –For DRM protected WMA files, use Windows Media Player 10 (or later) for conversion.

Glossary

Analog: Sound that has not been turned into

numbers. Analog sound varies, while digital sound has specific numerical values. These jacks send audio through two channels, the left and right.

Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs. is 4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.

AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD System that send audio to another system (TV set, Stereo, etc.).

Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given length of music; measured in kilobits per second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally, the higher the bit rate better the sound quality. However, higher bit rates use more space on a Disc.

Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want.

Disc menu: A screen display prepared for the selection of images, sound, subtitles, multi-angles, etc recorded on a DVD.

Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL or OPTICAL jacks. These jacks send audio through multiple channels, instead of just two channels as analog does.

Dolby Digital: A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up to six channels of digital audio (front left and right, surround left and right and center).

JPEG: A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.

MP3: A file format with a sound data compression system, “MPE” is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. Through the MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can. Multichannel: DVD is specified to have all sound tracks constitute one sound field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having three or more channels.

Parental control: A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of the users according to the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback will be prohibited if the software’s level is higher than the user-set level.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for later processing without data compression.

Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for reproduction control. By using screen menus recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that suppor ts PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well as software having a search function.

Region code: A system allowing discs to be played only in preset regions. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit from the product label. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or ALL regions).

Sampling Frequency: Frequency of data sampling when analog data is converted to digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents how many times the original analog signal is sampled per second.

Surround: A system for users to create realistic three-dimensional sound fields full of realism by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.

Title: The longest section of a picture or music feature on DVD, music, etc., in video software, or the entire album in audio software. Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate the title you want.
