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.
ID3*tags cannot be shown on the display. *An MP3 file can contain file information called “ID3 Tag ” where its album name, performer, rack title, etc. are recorded.
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.

Ambient operating conditions: Ambient temperature 5°C-35°C Humidity 10-75%
/
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.
Do not expose the unit to direct sun radiation or other heat sources. This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the unit.
During thunderstorms, disconnect the main plug from the socket. Main voltage peaks due to light­ning could damage the unit.

Cleaning Your Mini-Compact System

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:

Precautions When Using Compact Discs

Handle your compact discs with care. Always hold them by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on the shiny surface.
When you have finished playing a compact disc, always put it back in its case.
Do not fix paper or adhesive tape to the discs and do not write on the label.
Clean them with a special-purpose cloth. Store your compact discs in a clean place, out of direct sunlight,
where they will not be exposed to high temperatures. Always use compact discs marked .

Precautions When Using Audio Cassettes

Check that the tape in the cassette is sufficiently taught. To prevent erasing a cassette that you wish to keep, remove the
safety tab on the upper edge of the cassette. To record a cassette, where the tab has been broken, simply cover the opening with adhesive tape.
When you have finished playing a cassette, always put it back in its case.
Store your cassettes in a clean place, out of direct sunlight, where they will not be exposed to high temperatures.
Avoid using 120-minute cassettes as they place unnecessary strain on the tape mechanism.
