Using the clock radio for the ﬁ rst time

1. Place your clock radio on a ﬂ at surface.

2. Fully extend the wire aerial located on the rear of your clock radio. The wire should be fully extended and positioned for optimum reception.

3. Insert the adaptor plug into the DC socket located on the rear of your clock radio.

4. Plug the adaptor into a standard 13amp mains socket outlet.

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

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

5. When your clock radio is ﬁ rst switched on the display will show "Setting Clock" and a station search will be performed automatically.

6. When stations have been found, the clock information will appear on the display. Press the Display button to toggle between showing the time only or showing both the date and time.

7. If no stations have been found "Clock not set" will be displayed. It may then be necessary to relocate your clock radio to a position giving better reception. You should then carry out an autoscan to ﬁ nd stations as described on page 9.

If the clock radio has been used before, the last used station will be selected. If new radio stations are found, they will be added to the stored list of stations.

5. When ﬁ rst switched on, the ﬁ rst station in the list of stations found will be played. The display will show the station name in the ﬁ rst line of the display and other information in the second line.

6. If the station list is still empty after the scan operation your clock radio will display "Station not available".

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 CRD-37 can playback CDDA format audio CD-R/CD-RW discs that have been ﬁ nalised* upon completion of recording.

Your CRD-37 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 CRD-37.

WARNING

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT means that the laser's construction makes

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

Caution: Using any equipment or devices other than those described and speciﬁ ed in these operating instructions, or tampering with the unit in any way, can result in dangerous exposure to radiation.

MP3 / WMA CD Mode

The CRD-37 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 clock radio 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.

2. Adjust the volume on the clock radio as needed.

Please be aware that the sensitivity of headphones can vary widely. We

therefore recommend setting volume to a low level before connecting headphones to the clock radio.
