Supplied accessories
–2 speaker boxes including 2 speaker cables
– remote control and two AA batteries
– MW loop antenna
– FM wire antenna
–AC power cord
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
specialized company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.
Safety Information
● 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.
● 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.
Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing

About MP3/ WMA
The music compression technology MP3
(MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) and WMA (Windows
Media Audio) significantly reduces the digital data
of an audio CD while maintaining CD quality
sound.
Windows Media Audio® is a registered
trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
Supported formats:

multi-session CDs
– MP3 bit rate (data rate): 32-256 Kbps and
variable bit rate
– Director y nesting up to a maximum of 8
levels
– Suppor ted sampling frequencies: 32 kHz,
44.1 kHz, 48 kHz
– Maximum title number : 400 (depending on
filename length)
– Maximum album number : 40
– WMA v9 or earlier
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.
• DRM protected WMA files
• WMA files in Lossless or VBR format
16
IMPORTANT!
– Make sure that the file names of MP3 files end

Using a USB mass storage device
On MCM761, you can playback music from a
USB mass storage device and also, record music
to such a 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.
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).
– MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) USB devices are
not supported.
Supported formats:
– USB or memory file format FAT12, FAT16,
FAT32 (sector size: 512 - 65,536 bytes)
– MP3 bit rate (data rate): 32-320 Kbps and
variable bit rate
– WMA v9 or earlier
– Directory nesting up to a maximum of 8
levels
– Number of albums/ folders: maximum 99
– Number of tracks/titles: maximum 999
– File name in Uicode UTF8 (maximum length:
128 bytes)
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
22
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 02
Title 001
Title 002
Title 003
Album 03
Title 001
Title 002
Title 003
Album 04
Title 001
Title 002
Title 003
Organize your MP3/WMA files in different
folders or subfolders as required.
Helpful hints:
– 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).
