Selecting a Track
What is MP3?
MP3 means MPEG1 Layer 3, the global standard for audio
signal compression technology. It uses digital compression
technology to compress original sound data by up to 12 times
without sound quality degradation.
File Compatibility
The unit will playback files created in MP3 format
(Mpeg1.Layer3) with *.mp3 as their extension.
Playback will be impossible for the file of MP2 or
22KHz.
How many MP3 files can a CD-R or CD-RW disc record?
The maximum capacity of one CD-R or CD-RW disc is
680MB.
Normally, one MP3 file has a capacity of 4MB, therefore
approximately 170 files can be recorded on a single disc.
Regarding the playback of CD-R/RW
In the case of an original CD-R(Recordable) recorded in
audio CD format, CD-RW(Rewitable) and editing by the
user, playback is processed on the respective
completed status. (The player may not be played back
according to the characteristics of the CD or recorded
status.)
The CD-RW is comparably less reflexive than CD which
causes more time delay to read.

The following diagrams illustrate the precautions to be taken
when using or moving your mini-compact system.
Safety Precautions
Ambient operating conditions:
Ambient temperature 5°C-35°C
Humidity 10-75%
Do not expose the unit to direct sun
radiation or other heat sources.
This could lead to overheating and
malfunction of the unit.
Do not place potted plants or vases
on top of the unit. Moisture entering
the unit could lead to dangerous
electric shock and can cause
equipment damage. In such events
immediately disconnect the main
plug from the socket.
During thunderstorms, disconnect
the main plug from the socket.
Main voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.
Remove the batteries from the
remote control, if not used for any
extended period.
Leaking batteries can cause serious
damage to the remote control.
When using headphones, take care
not to listen at excessive volumes.
Extended use of headphones at
high volumes will lead to hearing
damage.
Do not place heavy items on the
main lead. Main cable damage can
lead to damage of the equipment (fire
hazard) and can cause electric
shock.
Do not remove any equipment panels.
The inside of the unit
contains live components, which
cause electric shock.
To obtain the best possible results from your mini-compact
system, you must clean the following elements regularly:
The outer casing
The compact disc player
The cassette players (heads, rollers and drive capstans)
Always unplug the system from the wall outlet:
Before cleaning it

Clean the outer casing regularly using a soft cloth and a light detergent. Do
not use abrasive powders, liquids or aerosol cleaners. Never let any liquids
get into the system.
Compact Disc Player
Before playing a compact disc, clean it with a special CD cleaning
agent. Do not use the same cleaning agents as for vinyl LP records.
Carefully wipe the disc from the centre outward.
Regularly clean the player with a special cleaning disc (available from
your local dealer).
T
ape Decks
Press Push Eject( ) to open the cassette deck.
Use a cotton bud and a special cassette cleaning agent to clean the:

remove the batteries to prevent corrosion.
Although your system is very hard-wearing, it should not be
used in an excessively dusty environment or subjected to
shocks or extreme heat (close to heating appliances or in
direct sunlight, etc.).
If the unit emits an unpleasant odor when in use, unplug it
from the main supply and contact the after-sales service.
