1
2
Rip the music from your own Digital Audio CDs
or download legal MP3 music from the Internet.
Record (“burn”) the music on CD-R(W) disc
with your home PC. Make sure to use a
recording speed not faster than indicated on the
CD-R(W) and avoid running other programme
simultaneously on your PC during the recording
process.
Safety information
G Place the system on a flat, hard and stable
surface.
Sound Quality
G Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in
your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches)
clearance from the rear and the top of the unit
and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.
Take note that MP3-CD compilations should
best contain only MP3 tracks (.mp3). To
achieve a good MP3 quality, a bit rate of
128 kbps is recommended.
G Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
G The lens may cloud over when the system is
suddenly moved from cold to warm
surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.
Leave the system in the warm environment until
the moisture evaporates.
G The mechanical parts of the set contain self-
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or
lubricated.
G When the system is switched to Standby
mode, it is still consuming some power.
To disconnect the system from the
power supply completely, remove the AC
power plug from the wall socket.
