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.

through the router is working.

Visit our website “http://My.Philips.com” for online help.

Connecting Streamium MC-i250

õ For wireless operation (Wi-Fi, 802.11b):

wireless access point

PC with wireless network adaptor

router

DSL or cable modem

Data port

Power outlet

INTERNET

1 If there is no networking cable plugged into the set at the first

setup, you will be asked whether you want to use wired (Ethernet) or wireless (WiFi) operation. Choose Wireless. For any further connection, the set will start up in the operation mode last used. This setting can be changed at any later point in time in the ‘SET OPTIONS’ menu under ‘SELECT NETWORK’.

2 You will be asked to choose between ‘Infrastructure’ or ‘Ad-hoc’

operation mode. If you want to use a wireless access point (Infrastructure mode - recommended), select accordingly. If you select “NO”, MC-i250 will try to establish a direct connection to a wireless network adapter (Ad-hoc mode).

3 You will be asked to enter the network name (ESSID). Enter this

case-sensitive name, using the remote control.

4 You will be asked to select the network channel number. If you

use an access point (infrastructure mode), choose the used channel or type in “0” for automatic detection. This process will take a short while. If you do not use a wireless access point (Ad-hoc mode), use the soft keys to select the used channel.

5 You can choose to use WEP encryption. If y ou choose ‘YES’,

you will be asked to enter up to four encryption keys. The first key will be used as the outgoing key. The outgoing key can be defined at any later point in time in the ‘SET OPTIONS’ menu under ‘ENCR YPT CONFIG’.

Notes: – You can use ASCII or HEX encryption keys, but all have to be

the same length.

– When the wireless connection is established, you still might

have to configure the network settings (please see network settings of wired operation).

õ For wired operation (Ethernet):

gateway router

DSL or

from RJ45

After the Internet connection of a PC in the home network has proven to be working, connect the MC-i250 to the gateway router with the supplied cable. Press INTERNET.

The Streamium MC-i250’s network settings are by default set to ‘DHCP’ (dynamic IP addressing) and ‘NO PROXY’. When your router is configured as a DHCP server and your ISP does not use a proxy, the set should automatically establish a connection to the Internet.

For Static IP addressing, enter the following information: IP address _ _ _._ _ _._ _ _._ _ _

default gateway _ _ _._ _ _._ _ _._ _ _ subnet mask _ _ _._ _ _._ _ _._ _ _ DNS 1 _ _ _._ _ _._ _ _._ _ _ DNS 2 _ _ _._ _ _._ _ _._ _ _

Example: to enter the IP address 164.23.5.114, use the remote control to key in :

164.023.005.114

If your ISP uses a proxy server, you will have to enter the proxy name and proxy port.

Proxy name ___________________ Proxy port ___________________

As soon as you are asked to enter your email address on the screen, your set has successfully established a connection to the Internet. To activate the online features of MC-i250, you

still have to complete the registration (see first page).

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 cer tain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Recording and playback of material may require consent. See Copyright Act 1956 and The Performer’s Protection Acts 1958 to

1972.

Environmental information

All unnecessary packaging has been omitted. We have tried to make the packaging easy to separate into three materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).

Your system consists of materials which can be recycled and reused if disassembled by a specialised company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Supplied accessories

– 2 speaker boxes – Remote control – Batteries (two AA size) for remote control – AM loop antenna – FM wire antenna – AC power cord – Category 5 Ethernet cable

Safety information

● Before operating the system, check that the

operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or the voltage indication beside the voltage selector) of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. If not, please consult your dealer.

● Place the system on a flat, hard and stable

surface.

● Place the system in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.

● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to

excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

● If the system is brought directly from a cold to a

warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens of the disc unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD player will not operate normally. Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the system until normal playback is possible.

● When the system is switched to Standby

mode, it is still consuming some power. To disconnect the system from the power supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the wall socket.
