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.

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 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.

The following diagrams illustrate the precautions to be taken when using or moving your mini-compact system.

Safety Precautions

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.

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 If you are not going to be using it for a long time

Outer Casing

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).

ape Decks

Press Push Eject( ) to open the cassette deck. Use a cotton bud and a special cassette cleaning agent to clean the:

Head (1) Rollers (2) Drive capstans (3)

If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, 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.

Cleaning Your Mini-Compact System

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.
