coated with various types of varnish and plastic. Many of these contain
chemicals which can corrode the feet of the device, leaving marks on the
surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove.
7If malfunctions occur due to static electricity charges or brief mains voltage
surges, reset the device. To do this, pull out the power plug and connect it
again after a few seconds.
7Make sure the power plug is freely accessible.
General information on laser devices
You will find a symbol similar to the one shown here
on the bottom of the device.
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT means that the laser is
designed in such a way as to ensure that the maximum
permissible emission value cannot be exceeded under any circumstances.
If operating devices or methods other than those specified here are em-
ployed, it may lead to dangerous exposure to emissions.
Invisible laser radiation is emitted if the CD compartment is opened and the
safety locking mechanism is shorted. Do not expose yourself to this radiation.

RWs with audio data or MP3 and WMA formats.
32 ENGLISH

OPERATION --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In MP3 mode, the terms “album” and “file” are very
important. “Album” corresponds to a folder on a PC,
“file” to a file on a PC or a CD-DA track. An MP3 CD
may not contain more than 999 tracks/folders in
total.
The device sorts the folders, or the tracks in a folder, by name into alpha-
betical order. If you wish to order them differently, change the name of the
track or folder on your PC – before burning the CD – and put a number be-
fore the name.
When burning CD-R and CD-RWs with audio files, various problems may
arise which could lead to problems with playback. This can be caused by
faulty software or hardware settings or by the CD being used. Should such
problems arise, contact the customer services of your CD burner or software
manufacturer or look for relevant information, for example on the Internet.
When you are making audio CDs, observe all legal guidelines and ensure
that the copyright of third parties is not infringed.
Always keep the CD compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on
the laser optics. Do not attach adhesive labels to CDs. Keep the surfaces of
CDs clean.
You can play standard 12 cm CDs as well as 8 cm CDs on your device.
An adapter is not necessary.
