General Information

This product complies with the radio interference requirements of the European Community.

Supplied accessories

–2 speaker boxes – remote control – MW loop antenna – FM wire antenna

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.

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.

● The ventilation should not be impeded by

covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.

● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to

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

● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,

should be placed on the apparatus.

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

be placed on the apparatus.

● 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 would not operate normally. Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the system until normal playback is possible.

● The mechanical par ts of the set contain self-

lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.

● Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the

AC power plug can be reached easily.

● 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.

Speaker

B Antennas Connection

Connect the supplied MW loop antenna and FM antenna to the respective terminals. Adjust the position of the antenna for optimal reception.

MW Antenna

To avoid overheating of the system, a safety circuit has been built in. Therefore, your system may switch to Standby mode automatically under extreme conditions. If this happens, let the system cool down before reusing it (not available for all versions).

● Position the antenna as far as possible from a TV,

VCR or other radiation source.

Page 9

Preparations

FM Antenna

● For better FM stereo reception, connect an

outdoor FM antenna to the FM AERIAL (FM ANTENNA) terminal.

C Speakers Connection

Front Speakers

Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKERS terminals, right speaker to "R" and left speaker to "L", coloured (marked) wire to "+" and black (unmarked) wire to "-".

● Fully inser t the stripped por tion of the speaker

wire into the terminal as shown.

Notes: –For optimal sound performance, use the supplied speakers. – Do not connect more than one speaker to any one pair of +/- speaker terminals. – Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than the speakers supplied. Please refer to the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.

Optional connection

The optional equipment and connecting cords are not supplied. Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment for details.

Connecting a USB device or memory card

By connecting a USB mass storage device (including USB flash memory, USB flash players or memory cards) to the Hi-Fi system, you can enjoy the device's stored music through the powerful speakers of Hi-Fi system.

● Insert the USB device's USB plug into the

socket on the set.

for the devices with USB cables:

1 Insert one plug of the USB cable (not supplied)

to the socket on the set.

2 Insert the other plug of the USB cable to the

USB output terminal of the USB device.

for the memory card:

1 Insert the memory card into a card reader (not

supplied).

2 Use a USB cable (not supplied) to connect the

card reader into the socket on the set.

Connecting a non-USB device

Use a cinch cable to connect AUX IN to the analogue audio out terminals of an external equipment (TV, VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD player or CD Recorder).

Note: – If you are connecting equipment with a mono output (a single audio out terminal), connect it to the AUX IN left terminal. Alternatively, you can use a “single to double” cinch cable (the output sound still remain mono).

Using a USB mass storage device

By connecting a USB mass storage device to the Hi-Fi system, you can enjoy the device's stored music through the powerful speakers of Hi-Fi system.

Playing a USB mass storage device Compatible USB mass storage devices

With the Hi-Fi system, you can use: – USB flash memory (USB 2.0 or USB1.1) – USB flash players (USB 2.0 or USB1.1) – memory cards (requires an additional card

reader to work with this Hi-Fi system)

Note: – In some USB flash players (or memory devices), the stored contents are recorded using copyright protection technology. Such protected contents will be unplayable on any other devices (such as this Hi-Fi system).

The system will not play or support the following:

– Empty albums: an empty album is an album

that does not contain MP3/WMA files, and

will not be shown in the display. – Non-supported file formats are skipped. This

means that e.g.: Word documents .doc or

MP3 files with extension .dlf are ignored and

will not be played. –AAC, WAV, PCM audio files – DRM protected WMA files – WMA files in Lossless format

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:

Title 001 Title 002

Title 003

Album 02

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.

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

albums/tracks on a CD (See CD/MP3 Operations).

Notes: –For compatibility reasons, the album/track information may differ from what it is displayed through flash players' music management software. – File names or ID3 tags will be displayed as --- if they are not in English.

English

Notes: – If you have not organized MP3/WMA files into any albums on your disc, an album "01" 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. Visit www.microsoft.com for details about Windows Media Player and WM DRM (Windows Media Digital Rights Management).
