Regarding the playback of CD-R/RW

In the case of an original CD-R(Recordable) recorded in audio CD
format, CD-RW(Rewritable) 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.

What is MP3?

Playback sequence of albums and tracks

In case of Window Explorer display.
The arrows indicates playback sequence of albums and tracks.
Tracks with jpg, wav or doc only are not audio files and therefore
will be skipped.

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.
Files created in MP2 format (Mpeg1.Layer2) with

*

.mp2 as their extension can also be played back.

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.

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.

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.

During thunderstorms, disconnect
the main plug from the socket.
Main voltage peaks due to light­ning could damage the unit.

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).

Tape 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.

It always takes a little time to become familiar with a new appliance.
If you have any of the problems listed below, try the solutions given.
They may save you the time and inconvenience of an unnecessary
service call.

If the above guidelines do not allow you to solve the problem, take a
note of:

The model and serial numbers, normally printed on the rear of
the system

Your warranty details
A clear description of the problem

Then contact your local dealer or SAMSUNG after-sales service.

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.

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.
