CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure or other unsafe operation.

Maintenance

Do not touch the lens of the set.

Do not expose the set, batteries or discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).

The lens may cloud over when the set is suddenly moved from cold to warm

surroundings. Playing is not possible then. Leave the set in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

Active mobile phones in the vicinity of this set may cause malfunctions.

Avoid dropping the set; this may cause damage.

Clean the set with a soft, slightly dampened lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents; they may have a corrosive effect.

To clean a disc, wipe it in a straight line from the centre towards the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. Cleaning agents may damage the disc.

Environmental information

All redundant packing material has been omitted. We have done our utmost to make the packaging easily separable into three mono materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).

Your set consists of materials which can be recycled if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packing materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

MP3 music files

The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3) reduces the digital data of an audio CD significantly while maintaining CD-like sound quality. With MP3 you can record up to 10 hours of CD-like music on a single CD-ROM.

How to get music files

Either download legal music files from the internet to your computer hard disc 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.

How to organize music files

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

Albums will be arranged in alphabetical order, but sub folders (albums within another album) will be played immediately after the album in which they are located. Albums without MP3 files will be skipped.

If there are MP3 files which you did not put into an album, you will find them in the album VARIUS with album number 0. VARIUS is the first album that will be played.

When playing a disc with CD Audio tracks and MP3 files, the CD Audio tracks will be played first.

How to make a CD-ROM with MP3 files

Use your computer's CD burner to record ("burn") the music files from your hard disc on a CD-ROM. Use either ISO 9660 disc format or UDF. Some CD burner software like e.g. "DirectCD" support the UDF format.

Make sure that the file names of the MP3 files end with .mp3.

Supported formats

This set supports:

• Disc format: ISO 9660, Joliet, Multisession, UDF, Enhanced Music CD, Mixed Mode CD
• MP3 bit rate: 32-320 kbps and variable bit rate
  Total number of music files and albums: around 350 (with a typical file name length of 20 characters)

Note:The number of music files that can be played depends on the length of the file names. With short file names more files will be supported.

All trademarks used are owned by their respective owners.
