EN  
Installation  
To ensure sufficient ventilation, keep the spacings  
Before you use your audio system, you’ll want to  
make sure both the FM and MW antennas are  
positioned properly. Uncoil the FM antenna at  
the back of the unit, making sure it is fully  
extended (you may even want to tape it to the  
wall behind the unit if possible. The higher the  
better.) You’ll also need to connect the MW  
antenna loop to the back of the unit if you listen  
to MW stations. Rotate the MW loop antenna for  
better reception.

Important CD and mp3 / wma  
Information  
EN  
Notes on mp3/wma Disc:  
Use .mp3 as the extension when converting  
audio files into mp3 for saving onto  
CD-R(W) or CD-ROM, e.g. Abc08.mp3.  
Do not use any other extension e.g. .doc,  
.pdf.  
CD-R / RW  
This unit is compatible with  
CD-RW/ CD-R discs for  
playback.  
• Do not use the .mp3 extension for other  
text or non-audio data files as this may  
result in serious malfunction and harmful  
noise interference.  
• For better quality in mp3/WMA disc  
playback, the CD quality should be  
recorded 128kbps or above.  
Notes on CD-R/RW Disc:  
Do not affix any type of labels to either  
side (recordable or labeled side) of a  
CD-R/RW disc as this may result in the  
unit malfunctioning.  
• To avoid damages to the CD-R/RW disc, do  
not open the disc compartment door while  
the disc is being read.  
• Do not load an unrecorded CD-R/RW disc  
into the unit. This may take a longer time  
to read the disc.  
• Playback capability for CD-RW discs  
may vary due to variations in the  
quality of the CD-RW disc and the  
recorder used to create the disc.  
Disc data size > 650MB is not  
recommended.  
Total files and folders in the disc should  
not exceed 250, it also depends on the  
length of the file/folder names.  
For mixed mode discs, only one mode will  
be selected for playback depending on the  
recording format.  
To ensure good performance, wait until  
the disc changer completely reads the disc  
before proceeding.
