What is WMA?
WMA means Windows Media Audio, the global standard for audio signal compression technology.
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, and some WMA files with .WMA extension can’t be playback. Playback of MP2 or 22KHz file is not supported.
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(Rewritable) and editing by the user, playback is processed on the respective completed status. (In some cases, due to the disc's characteristics and its recording status, playback may not be available.) The CD-RW is comparably less reflexive than CD which
causes more time delay to read.

Setting the Clock

Your system is equipped with a clock which allows you to turn it on and off automatically. You should set the clock:
When you first purchase the mini-compact system
After a power failure
After unplugging the unit
For each step, you have a few seconds to set the required

Please be aware of the following before using USB.
Some external USB storage devices may not be compatible with this

the first partition can be played. DRM applied files are not played.
Digital Rights Management (DRM): Technology and service that protect the profit and rights of copyright owners by disallowing unauthorised use of digital contents. Even if the file name ends with .mp3, the file does not play if the actual
file format is the MPEG layer 1 or 2. Do not use a USB hub as it will not be recognized.
Up to 16 letters of the MP3/WMA file name will be shown.
Delay
When selecting the USB function, file reading (READ-IN) may take
several minutes. When playing a USB device, there may be delay with advancing to the

Cleaning Your Mini-Compact System

The following diagrams illustrate the precautions to be taken when using or moving your mini-compact system.
Ambient operating conditions: Ambient temperature +41°F to +95°F 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 equip-
During thunderstorms, disconnect the main plug from the socket. Main voltage peaks due to lightning
could damage the unit. ment damage. In such events imme­diately disconnect the main plug from the socket.
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
1
agent. Do not use the same cleaning agents as for vinyl LP records. Carefully wipe the disc from the Center outward.
Regularly clean the player with a special cleaning disc (available from
2
your local dealer).
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.

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 compac
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
.
Remove the batteries from the remote control, if not used for any extended period. Leaking batteries can cause serious damage to the remote control.
Do not place heavy items on the main unit. Main cable damage can lead to damage of the equipment (fire hazard) and can cause electric shock.
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 disassemble, repair, or modify this unit on your own, as it may cause malfunction or a risk of electric shock.

Precautions When Using Audio Cassettes

Check that the tape in the cassette is sufficiently taut.
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.
