A WORD OF CAUTION

A W  C
Please keep in mind that the Musiccenter 151, like any other electrical device, must be
handled with care and caution at all times. Especially digital components operate with
very high and potentially lethal voltages. Careless or negligent operation may not only
damage the device and other components in the system but may also cause bodily
harm and even death.

Opening the device
Do not open the device. The device does not contain any parts that can be maintained
by the user. Fuses inside the device may only be replaced by authorized staff, such as
your specialist dealer.
Replacing defective fuses
A defect fuse may render the device inoperative, meaning the device does not turn on
even though a power supply is present. When the power plug is connected and the
mains switch is on, a lethal voltage is present after opening the fuse holder inside the
fuse compartment. The fuses (F1, F2) are located inside the device and may only be
replaced by a qualified professional.
Power supply
Use the supplied 3-wire power cord for power supply. The protective earth contact
must not be rendered ineffective. Furthermore, the device may only be connected
to an outlet with a functioning protective conductor connection.
The device has a power supply unit that automatically adjusts to the power supply.
As a result, the device can be operated with all common power supplies.
Lay the power cord in a way that prevents it from being damaged. Do not use a
damaged power cord. Instead, switch the device off and contact your specialist
dealer.
Disconnecting the device from the power supply
To disconnect the Musiccenter from the power supply completely, use the easy-to
access mains switch on the rear panel.

UNPACKING THE MUSICCENTER
151 Musiccenter 5
Placing the Musiccenter
When selecting an installation location, please note the following:
• Avoid direct sunlight, excessive heat, cold, moisture, and dust.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation. Do not place the device in a closed rack.
• Do not cover the slots and openings on the device. They serve as a
means of ventilation.
• Do not expose the device to dripping water or spray water and do not
place any containers holding liquids on your device. Do not place any
open ignition sources, such as burning candles, on the device.
Operation during thunderstorms
During thunder and lightning storms, disconnect the device from the power supply by
unplugging the power cord from the unit or from the power socket. Switching off the
mains switch on the rear panel of the device is not sufficient. For good measure, also
disconnect all connected components from the power supply.
Backup
Burmester recommends backing up audio data saved in the 151 to an external USB
drive via the web interface. Backups should be performed every six months or after
ripping a certain number of CDs. Please refer to the enclosed separate document
“Instructions for Operation via a Web Browser” for more information on performing
a backup“.
