Introduction
he MCD15 Multi CD/MP3 Player was developed as an easy to use, flexible solution.
During the development of the MCD15 Multi CD/MP3 Player, the AUDAC-engineers wanted to
achieve three goals:
- Easy to use
- Excellent sound quality
- A modern and advanced design
The combination of features offered by the MCD15 make this item suitable for professional as
well as private applications. Its extensive range of functions offers a spectrum of possibilities,
depending on the need and personal preference of users, while the user-friendly design makes it
accessible to everyone.
The MCD15 uses high precision, 8-times oversampling digital filters. Its disc drawer can
accommodate up to five discs, of which four can be changed during play, by rotating the disc tray
clockwise as well as counterclockwise. The five disc trays for normal discs are provided with an
‘inner tray’ which can be used to play 8 cm discs (no adaptor needed).
The optional remote control unit MCD15RMT, enables you to not only start, pause and stop
playing, but also to create programs, review these programs and so on. Its no-nonsense design
only provides the necessary buttons, which makes this remote control unit easy to operate.

Before use
1. CD’s
1.1. Cleaning CD’s
Try not to touch the signal surface of a disc with your fingers. When holding a disc, hold it using
the centre hole. The sound/picture quality of a disc can reduce when its got dirt, grease or
fingerprints on its surface. This can even cause interruptions when trying to play the disc. You can
wipe off fingerprints or dirt using a disc cleaning set or a soft cloth. When you want to write
something on the labelled (printed) side of a disc, don’t do this with a ballpoint pen or a pencil.
Remove discs from their cases carefully in order not to scratch them. Never bend or heat discs.
Do not attempt to enlarge the centre hole. When a disc is moved from a cold to a warm space,
water droplets may form on its surface (condensation). Do not use a hairdryer or any other heating
equipment to dry the disc. If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc clean.
1. . Playing CD’s
The MCD15 only plays discs (optical digital audio discs) with the following logo:
Only normal, round discs can be played. Discs shaped like e.g. hearts can’t be played. When this
does happen, they may cause the MCD15 to break down.
When you’re done playing discs, eject them and put them back in their cases. Never leave discs out
of their cases, as they protect them against dust, scratches and warping. Never expose discs for
long periods of time to direct sunlight. Never store discs in humid or dusty places or places
exposed to heat from heaters and comparable heating equipment.
. MCD15 Multi CD/MP3 Player
1.1. Setup precautions
Provide a space of more than 2cm between the top, rear and sides of the CD/MP3 player and
wall/other audio/video equipment, …
When you use the MCD15 unit or other electronic equipment containing microprocessors the
same time as using a tuner or TV, noise or screen interference may occur on the audio and video
of the tuner or TV. If this happens, take into account the following remarks:
- Separate the MCD15 from the tuner or TV as much as possible.
- Separate the antenna line of the tuner or TV from the power cable and in-/output connection
cables of this unit as much as possible.
- Indoor antennas and 300Ω feedlines are especially susceptible to such interference. The use of
outdoor antennas and 75Ω coaxial cable is recommended.

1. . When not using the MCD15
When you are not using the MCD15, make sure you’ve taken all discs out. The power must be off.
When you’re planning not to use the device for a longer period of time (vacation, …), make sure
you unplug the power supply cord.
When you want to move the MCD15, try to avoid shocks. Before moving, make sure there are no
discs in the disc drawer and disconnect the connection cords.
1.3. Condensation
When the unit undergoes a sudden raise of temperature (e.g. the unit was used in a very cold room
and is now being moved to a reasonably warm one/the unit is standing in the living
room/kitchen/… and the heating is turned up so that the temperature in the room is suddenly
raised), condensation will form on the operating parts within the unit. When this happens, normal
operation is no longer possible.
Condensation can also be caused by air conditioning. (e.g. it’s summer and the air conditioning is
switched on). If the cool air from an air conditioner strikes the unit directly, this may cause
condensation. You can easily solve this by moving the unit to another location, away from the air
conditioning.
When condensation has formed, switch on the MCD15 and leave the unit like that for a while.
Depending on the circumstances (temperature, …), the MCD15 should be ready to use again in
one to two hours.
1.4. Cleaning the MCD15
Use a soft cloth and wipe the MCD15 softly. When you use cloths that were treated with
chemicals, follow the precautions described below:
Avoid using volatile chemicals like benzene, thinners or other organic solvents or insecticides,
because they may reduce the quality of the CD/MP3 Player and its color. Avoid using record
sprays or antistatic sprays.
