EXPANIUM

Let's make things better.

Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L). As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Power Supply

Whenever convenient, use the mains supply if you want to conserve battery life. Make sure you remove the plug from the set and wall socket before inserting batteries.

Batteries (not included)

1 Open the battery compartment and insert six batteries, type R-14, UM-2 or C-cells, (preferably alkaline) with the correct polarity as indicated by the "+" and "-" symbols inside the compartment.

6 x 1.5V R14/ UM2/ C CELL

- Remote control (AZ1155 model only)

Diagram showing battery charging process with arrows indicating direction (no text or symbols)

Open the battery compartment and insert 2 batteries, type AAA, R03 or UM4 (preferably alkaline).

Power Supply

2 Replace the compartment door, making sure the batteries are firmly and correctly in place. The set is now ready to operate.

→ If LOW BATT lights up, battery power is running low. The LOW BATT indicator eventually goes out if the batteries are too weak.

Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly.

Incorrect use of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage and will corrode the compartment or cause the batteries to burst. Therefore:

- Do not mix battery types: e.g. alkaline with carbon zinc. Only use batteries of the same type for the set.

- When inserting new batteries, do not try to mix old batteries with the new ones.

- Remove the batteries if the set is not to be used for a long time.

Using AC Mains

1 Check if the mains voltage, as shown on the type plate located on the bottom of the set, corresponds to your local mains supply. If it does not, consult your dealer or service centre.

2 Connect the mains lead to the MAINS inlet and the wall socket. The mains supply is now connected and ready for use.

3 To switch off completely, withdraw the mains lead from the wall socket.

- Disconnect the mains lead from the wall socket to protect your set during heavy thunderstorms.

The type plate is located on the bottom of the set.

Environmental information

All redundant packaging has been omitted. We have done our utmost to make the packaging easily separable into three materials: cardboard, polystyrene foam and polyethylene.

MP3-CD Playback

IMPORTANT SPECIFICATIONS Supported formats:

- Disc format ISO9660, Joliet and multi-session CDs. Use ISO9660 disc format when burning CD-ROM.

- MP3 music format.

- MP3 bit rate (data rate): 32-320 Kbps and variable bit rate.

- 650Mb and 700Mb CD-Rs.

- Directory nesting up to a maximum of 8 levels (max. 64 characters).

General information

The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) reduces the original digital audio data by a factor up to 10 without losing significant sound quality. This allows you to record up to 10 hours of CD-like quality music on a single CD-ROM.

How to get MP3 music

Either download legal music files from the internet to your computer harddisc or create them from your own audio CDs. For this, insert an audio CD into your computer's CD-ROM drive and convert the music using an appropriate encoder software. To achieve a good sound quality, a bit rate of 128 kbps or higher is recommended for MP3 music files.

Some encoder software offers an option to protect music files, i. e. the files can only be played on the computer which created them. If you burn such files on a CD-ROM,

MP3-CD Playback

you cannot play them on this set. Make sure to deactivate the protection option in the encoder software before creating the music files. In this case you are responsible for adherence to all local or international copyrights.

When burning the MP3-CD

• Make sure the file names of the MP3 files end with .mp3.
• Multi-session recording & playback: For playback of the last session on multi-session CDs, make sure you have recorded more than 1 track or title in the last session.
  • Make sure you close the session.

How to organize MP3 files

MP3CD 33 album ↓title 288

You can store up to a maximum number of 40 albums and 400 titles on one MP3-CD. In order to easily handle the large number of music files on a CD-ROM, you can organize them in folders (“albums”).

The tracks of an album will be played in alphabetical order. If you want to arrange them in a certain order, let the file names start with numbers.

For example:

001-ONEWORLD.MP3
002-FIRESTARTER.MP3
003-DEEP.MP3.

• There may be an album which will be played before all other albums. Album contains all tracks which you did not put into an album.
• MP3-CD albums and titles are shown as numbers in the display.

IMPORTANT!

This set does not play/support the following:

• UDF disc format.
  • Non-finalized CD-Rs and CD-RWs.
• Mixed CD format recordings e.g. CD audio and MP3 tracks combined within a CD-R.
• Empty albums: an empty album is an album that does not contain MP3 files, and will not be shown in the display.
• Non-supported file formats are skipped. This means that e.g.:Word documents .doc or MP3 files with extension .dlf are ignored and will not be played.
• Playlist Files e.g. .m3u, .pls of WMA, AAC, Winamp, Sonic, RealJukebox, MS Mediaplayer 7.0, MusicMatch.
• Recordings created on e.g. DirectCD, PacketWriting and Package Writing.

Maintenance

Precautions & General Maintenance

• Place the set on a hard and flat surface so that the system does not tilt.
• Do not expose the set, batteries or CDs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
• Do not cover the set. Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of 6 inches between the ventilation holes and surrounding surfaces is necessary to prevent heat build-up.
• The mechanical parts of the set contain self-lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.
• To clean the set, use a dry cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammonia, benzene or abrasives as these may harm the housing.

MP3-CD player and CD handling

• The lens of the CD player should never be touched!
• Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature can cause condensation to form and the lens of your CD player to cloud over. Playing a disc is then not possible. Do not attempt to clean the lens but leave the set in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.
  • Always shut the CD door to keep the CD compartment dust-free. To clean, dust the compartment with a soft dry cloth.
• To take a disc out of its box, press the centre spindle while lifting the disc. Always pick up the disc by the edge and replace the disc back in its box after use to avoid scratching and dust.
• To clean the disc, wipe in a straight line from the centre towards the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents as they may damage the disc.
• Never write on a disc or attach any stickers to it.
