Selecting a CD in the Disc changer

What is MP3?

MP3 means MPEG1 Layer 3, the global standard for audio

signal compression technology. It uses digital compression technol-

ogy 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.

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 sta-

tus.)

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.

VOLUME

DOWN

Remove the batteries from the

remote control, if not used for any

extended periods.

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.

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 light-

ning 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

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.

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
