Battery operation

1. Remove the Battery cover on the rear of your CD radio cassette by pushing the catches in the direction shown.

2. Insert eight LR14 (C size) batteries into the compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.

3. Reduced power, distortion, and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that the batteries may need replacing.

IMPORTANT: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, ﬁ re or the like. After use, disposable batteries should if possible be taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account should batteries be disposed of by incineration.

We would recommend for economy that your Concerto is used on

the mains whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or stand-by use only.

Mains operation

1. Place your CD radio cassette on a ﬂ at surface.

2. Plug the mains lead into the Socket located on the rear of your CD radio cassette. Ensure that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.

3. Plug the other end into a wall socket and switch on.

IMPORTANT: The mains plug is used as the means of connecting the

radio to the mains supply. The mains socket used for the radio must remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the radio from the mains completely, the mains plug should be removed from the mains socket outlet completely.

4. When the mains LED is on, it indicates that the radio is connected to and powered from the mains supply.

Page 14

Compact discs

Use only Digital Audio CDs which have the symbol.

Never write on a CD or attach any sticker to the CD. Always hold the CD at the edge and store it in its box after use with the label facing up.

To remove dust and dirt, breathe on the CD and wipe it with a soft, lint free cloth in a straight line from the centre towards the edge.

Cleaning agents may damage the CD.

Do not expose the CD to rain, moisture, sand or to excessive heat. (e.g from heating equipment or in motor cars parked in the sun).

CD-R/CD-RW discs

Your Concerto can playback CDDA format audio CD-R/CD-RW discs that have been ﬁ nalised* upon completion of recording.

Your Concerto may fail to playback some CD-R/CD-RW discs due to poor recording and wide variation in quality of the CD-R/CD-RW disc.

*Finalising enables a CD-R/CD-RW disc to playback on audio players such as your Concerto.

Page 15

MP3 / WMA CD Mode

The Concerto is able to play CD-R and CD-RW discs containing MP3 or WMA ﬁ les.

In MP3 / WMA mode the terms "album" and "ﬁ le" are very important. "Album" corresponds to a folder on a PC, "File " to an audio track in MP3 or WMA format. The cd cassette recorder reads MP3 or WMA ﬁ les with a maximum of 255 ﬁ les per folder. An MP3 or WMA CD may not contain more than 512 ﬁ les or albums in total. MP3 or WMA ﬁ les must be created with an audio sample rate of 44.1kHz (this is normal for ﬁ les created from CD audio content). Both MP3 and WMA ﬁ les may be recorded on to the same media.

When burning CD-R and CD-RWs with audio ﬁ les, various problems may arise which could lead to interference in playback. This can be caused by faulty software or hardware settings in your PC or by the CD being used. Should such problems arise, contact the customer services of your CD burner or software manufacturer or look for relevant information, for example on the internet. When you are making audio CDs, observe all legal guidelines and ensure that the copyright of third parties is not infringed.

it inherently safe so that the legally prescribed maximum permissible radiation values can never be exceeded.

SD / USB mode

This section describes how to use your radio to access and playback your audio ﬁ les via Secure Digital (SD, SDHC) cards and USB memory devices.

The Concerto has been tested with a range of SD cards up to 2GB and SDHC cards and USB memory devices up to 16GB. However there are many different card variants available and not all cards can be guaranteed to work in the Concerto. Memory must use the FAT or FAT 32 ﬁ ling system in order to operate in the Concerto.

Important: Your radio is designed to work with USB ﬂ ash memory devices. It is not intended to be connected to hard disk drives or any other type of USB device.

Audio formats supported for playback are MP3 and WMA. Playback does not support ﬁ les encoded using WMA lossless, WMA voice, WMA 10 professional, nor ﬁ les of any format which have DRM protection.

The SD slot and USB socket are located on the top of the unit on the right hand side of the radio.

Cautions

In order to minimise the risk of damage to your radio, SD card or USB memory device, please place the unit so that the device cannot be easily knocked while it is inserted in the socket.

Remove the SD card or USB memory device before carrying the unit or if not using the SD/USB feature for a prolonged period.

Switch the unit off before removing your SD card or USB memory device.

Recommendations

Unless you have only a few ﬁ les on the memory device, do not place all ﬁ les in the root folder.

The number of items (ﬁ les/sub directories) in any directory should be less than 2000.

Searching and playback will be more responsive if the number of ﬁ les in any one folder is limited. (we suggest not more than 250).

It is recommended that the memory device is reformatted in your computer before adding your music ﬁ les.

The maximum depth of folder nesting permitted is 8 directory levels (but playback is only from the currently selected folder).

Inserting and removing a card

To insert an SD card into your CD cassette recorder, push the card label side facing towards you and gold contacts ﬁ rst into the SD card slot on the top of your CD radio cassette recorder until it clicks.

To remove the card, push the card in slightly and it will pop out allowing removal.

Page 21

SD / USB mode cont.

Inserting and removing a USB memory device

Carefully insert a USB memory device into the USB socket.

To remove the USB memory device simply pull the device out.

Selecting SD/USB mode

1. To select the SD/USB mode slide the Function switch to SD/USB

position.

Playback control in SD/USB mode is similar to CD-MP3/WMA mode (see pages 15-18). MP3 and WMA ﬁ les are played back in the order that they are written to the SD/USB memory device by your computer.

Note: In the event that the SD card and USB memory are inserted in their sockets, then the radio will generally use whichever was the most recently added. Removing one will then cause the radio to start reading from the other.

Note: The SD card / USB memory device should not be removed during playback or recording as damage or corruption of ﬁ les may occur.
