WARNING: To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, never expose this product to rain
or humidity.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. All the precautions, in particular the safety ones, must be read with special attention, as
they provide important information.
2. POWER SUPPLY FROM MAINS (direct connection)
The mains voltage is sufficiently high to involve a risk of electrocution; therefore, never a.
install or connect this product when its power cable is plugged in.
Before powering up, make sure that all the connections have been made correctly and b.
the voltage of your mains corresponds to the voltage shown on the rating plate on the
unit, if not, please contact your RCF dealer.
The metallic parts of the unit are earthed by means of the power cable.c.
An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet d.
with a protective earthing connection.
Protect the power cable from damage.e.
Make sure it is positioned in a way that it cannot be stepped on or crushed by f.
objects.
To prevent the risk of electric shock, never open the product: there are no parts inside g.
that the user needs to access.
IMPORTANT NOTES
WARNING
3. Make sure that no objects or liquids can get into this product, as this may cause a short
circuit. This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing. No objects filled with
liquid, such as vases, shall be placed on this apparatus. No naked sources (such as lighted
candles) should be placed on this apparatus.
4. Never attempt to carry out any operations, modifications or repairs that are not expressly
described in this manual.
Contact your authorized service centre or qualified personnel should any of the following
occur:
The product does not function (or functions in an anomalous way). The power supply cable has been damaged. Objects or liquids have got in the unit. The product has been subject to a heavy impact. -
5. If this product is not used for a long period, disconnect the power cable.
6. If this product begins emitting any strange odours or smoke, switch it off immediately
and disconnect the power supply cable.
7. Do not connect this product to any equipment or accessories not foreseen.
For suspended installation, only use the dedicated anchoring points and do not try to hang
this product by using elements that are unsuitable or not specific for this purpose.
Also check the suitability of the support surface to which the product is anchored (wall,
ceiling, structure, etc.), and the components used for attachment (screw anchors, screws,
brackets not supplied by RCF etc.), which must guarantee the security of the system /
installation over time, also considering, for example, the mechanical vibrations normally
generated by transducers.
To prevent the risk of falling equipment, do not stack multiple units of this product unless
this possibility is specified in the user manual.
5
ENGLISH
8. RCF S.p.A. strongly recommends this product is only installed by professional
qualified installers (or specialised firms) who can ensure correct installation
and certify it according to the regulations in force.
The entire audio system must comply with the current standards and regulations
regarding electrical systems.
9. Supports and trolleys
The equipment should be only used on trolleys or supports, where necessary, that are
recommended by the manufacturer. The equipment / support / trolley assembly must be
moved with extreme caution. Sudden stops, excessive pushing force and uneven floors may
cause the assembly to overturn.
10. There are numerous mechanical and electrical factors to be considered when installing
a professional audio system (in addition to those which are strictly acoustic, such as sound
pressure, angles of coverage, frequency response, etc.).
11. Hearing loss
Exposure to high sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. The acoustic pressure
level that leads to hearing loss is different from person to person and depends on the
duration of exposure. To prevent potentially dangerous exposure to high levels of acoustic
pressure, anyone who is exposed to these levels should use adequate protection devices.
When a transducer capable of producing high sound levels is being used, it is therefore
necessary to wear ear plugs or protective earphones.
See the technical specifications in loudspeaker instruction manuals to know their maximum
sound pressure levels.
12. To prevent the occurrence of noise, use screened cables only and avoid putting them
close to:
equipment that produces high-intensity electromagnetic fields (for example, high power transformers).
Mains cables. Loudspeaker lines. -
13. Situate this product far from any heat sources.
14. Never force the control elements (keys, knobs, etc…).
15. Do not use solvents, alcohol, benzene or other volatile substances for cleaning the
external parts of this product.
Use 12 cm audio CD, CD-R and CD-RW only. Never insert 8 cm compact discs! Do not use damaged compact discs (or having an irregular shape). Keep compact discs clean and hold them always on their edges (without touching their unlabeled surface).
Wipe a dirty CD from the centre outward with a clean soft and dry cleaning cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
Do not attach adhesive labels on compact discs (and do not use discs having adhesive labels).
Put compact discs in their cases when not used. Do not leave compact discs close to heat sources, exposed to high temperatures or the direct sunlight (for instance, inside a car).
Some CD-R (recordable) / CD-RW (rewritable) types may not be read correctly. -
MP3: means MPEG Audio Layer 3 and refers to an audio compression type. This player reads MP3 files on CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs, USB flash drives and SD cards. If available, track titles, artists and albums are displayed (ID3 TAG). CD-R – CD-RW discs formatted as ‘packet write’ mode are not supported. The file extension must be .mp3. The max. directory (/ folder) level is 8, including the ‘root’. Max. 2000 MP3 files per source. It is advisable to use MP3 files having a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and a fixed bit-rate of at least 128 kbps (if higher, for instance 192 kbps, the sound quality will be
better).
