Setting up the system

You can mount your new CD micro system on a plane and stable surface.

The stand of the unit should be located close to a properly connected power

socket. In order to ensure a sufficient ventilation, the device must not be

operated on soft surfaces (carpets or the like). Possible ventilation openings

of the devices must not be covered by newspapers, curtains etc.

The Remote Control

Take out the remote control handset from the package. Open the battery compartment.

Insert 2 x 1.5V AAA batteries in the battery compartment as shown in the diagram on the

cover. Make sure they are inserted correctly or the remote control will not function and

could be damaged. Slide the first battery into the upper half of the casing so that you can

insert the second battery. We recommend using alkaline batteries. Now please close the

battery compartment.

Should the r/c start to work unreliably replace both batteries. Please point the r/c towards

the main unit when calling up functions. No obstacles may stand in the way between r/c and

infrared sensor.

If you won’t use the r/c for a week or longer, please remove the batteries from the

compartment, to prevent damage by leakage.

Batteries must not be disposed by ordinary refuse disposal. Please lead empty

batteries towards appropriate collecting points. Never throw batteries into fire.

Establish connections

1. Connect the cable of the speaker box to be set up to the right to the

SPEAKER output “R”. Connect the cable of the speaker box to be set up to

the left to the SPEAKER output “L”.

2. Insert the stripped end of each speaker cable into the relevant speaker

terminal and close them. Make sure that the red lead is connected with

the red terminal and the black lead is connected with the black terminal.

Otherwise the sound can be negatively affected and the speaker could be

damaged.

3. Connect to the electricity supply using the properly connected power socket

(230V~/50Hz). The system is now in standby mode so that you can switch

it on with the remote control.

CD / MP3 operation

This device plays generally audio CDs as well as CD-R(W) media burnt with a PC. For MPEG

format bit rates from 8 to 320 kbps are supported. Due to the various types of blank

CDs, PC types, operating systems, burning software and methods, we cannot

guarantee that every burnt CD will be played immaculately. The device does not play

CD-ROMs or DVD media.

If the device plays a MP3 disc, ESP lights up in the display and indicates, that playback will

be continued error-free even when the unit is exposed to light shock of vibration.

How to handle CDs

Clean dirty CDs carefully with a soft non-fluff cloth by wiping from

the middle to the outside. Avoid circulating movements! Do not
