Please note the following instructions when setting up the system:

The hi-fi system is designed for the playback of audio signals. Any other use is expressly prohibited.
If you want to set up the hi-fi system on wall shelves or in cupboards, please ensure that it is adequately ventilated. There must be at least 10cm of space at the side, above and behind the hi-fi system.
- Do not cover the hi-fi system with newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc.
- When setting up the hi-fi system, remember that furniture is often coated with various types of varnish and plastic, which often contain chemical additives. These additives may cause corrosion to the feet of the unit. This may leave stains on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove.
If the hi-fi system is exposed to sudden changes in temperature, for example when taken from the cold into a warm room, wait at least two hours before using it.
The hi-fi system is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it outdoors, make sure it is protected from moisture such as dripping or splashing water.
Only use the hi-fi system in a moderate climate.
- Do not place the hi-fi system close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.
- Do not place any vessels containing liquids, such as vases, on the hi-fi system. Do not insert any foreign objects in the CD compartment.
- Do not place any objects such as burning candles on the hi-fi system.

• Do not open the hi-fi system casing under any circumstances. Warranty claims are excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.
  Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the hi-fi system is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always disconnect the mains plug during a storm.
  Continuous use at high volume level can cause damage to the user's hearing.

Note:

• Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on. Switch off the other devices as well before connecting them.
  Only plug the device into the mains socket after you have connected the external devices. Make sure the power plug is freely accessible.

Switch off the hi-fi system by pressing
2 Connect the USB interface of the MP3 player to the «USB« socket on the hi-fi system (on the left side) using a standard USB cable;

or insert the USB plug of the USB memory stick in the USB socket on the hi-fi system (on the left side).

Notes:

To remove the MP3 player or the USB memory stick, switch off the hi-fi system and pull out the cable for the data medium.
The USB socket on the hi-fi system does not support a connection for a USB extension cable and is not designed for directly connecting to a computer.

Inserting a memory card

• The loudspeakers of the hi-fi system are switched off.

Note:

Excessive sound pressure from the earphones or headphones can cause hearing loss.

Connecting to the mains supply

Notes:

Check that the mains voltage on the type plate (on the bottom of the hi-fi system) corresponds to your local mains supply. If this is not the case, contact your specialist dealer.
Before connecting the AC power cord to the wall socket, ensure that all other connections have been made.

Insert the supplied mains cable into the AC socket on the hi-fi system.

RDS time synchronisation

Some RDS stations transmit a time signal. If reception is good, the time information will update the time if you have selected the CT ON option during the time setting. Refer to the section "Setting the clock".

Time synchronisation can take several minutes, and even with good reception the accuracy depends on the time signal being transmitted. The automatic time setting is always activated when the device is switched from standby to tune mode and after power failure when unit receives a RDS station which is supporting RDS time signal. When the device is waiting for an RDS time signal, 灯 flashes on the display. Once RDS time synchronisation completes, 灯 keeps lighting.

Station types (PTY)

The hi-fi system is suitable for music CDs bearing the logo shown here (CD-DA), and for CD-Rs (CD-Recordables) and CD-RWs (CD-Rewritables) with

audio data or MP3 and WMA formats.

In MP3/WMA mode, the terms "album" and "file" are very important. "Album" corresponds to a folder on a PC, "file" to a file on a PC or CD-DA track. An MP3/WMA CD may not contain more than 999 tracks/folders in total.

When burning CD-R and CD-RWs with audio files, various problems may arise which could lead to problems with playback. This can be caused by faulty software or hardware settings or by the CD being used. Should such problems arise, contact the customer services of your CD burner or software manufacturer or look for relevant information, for example on the Internet.

When you are creating audio CDs, observe all legal guidelines and ensure that the copyright of third parties is not infringed.

Always keep the CD compartment closed (CD compartment will be closed automatically after around 2 minutes when it is open) to prevent dust from accumulating on the laser optics.

Do not attach adhesive labels to CDs. Keep the surfaces of CDs clean.
