ENGLISH
SET-UP AND SAFETY-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note the following instructions when set-
ting up the system:
7
The hi-fi system is designed for the playback
of audio signals. Any other use is expressly
prohibited.
7
If you want to set up the hi-fi system on wall
shelves or in cupboards, please ensure that it
is adequately ventilated. There must be at least
10 cm of space at the side, above and behind
the hi-fi system.
7
Do not cover the hi-fi system with newspapers,
table cloths, curtains, etc.
7
When setting up the hi-fi system, remember
that furniture is often coated with various types
of varnish and plastic, which often contain
chemical additives. These additives may cause
corrosion to the feet of the unit. This may leave
stains on the surface of the furniture which can
be difficult or impossible to remove.
7
If the hi-fi system is exposed to sudden changes
in temperature, for example when taken from
the cold into a warm room, wait at least two
hours before using it.
7
The hi-fi system is designed for use in dry
rooms. If you do use it outdoors, make sure it
is protected from moisture such as dripping or
splashing water.
7
Only use the hi-fi system in a moderate cli-
mate.
7
Do not place the hi-fi system close to heating
units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair
cooling.
7
Do not place any vessels containing liquids,
such as vases, on the hi-fi system. Do not insert
any foreign objects in the CD compartment.
7
Do not place any objects such as burning can-
dles on the hi-fi system.
7
Do not open the hi-fi system casing under any
circumstances. Warranty claims are excluded
for damage resulting from improper handling.
7
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical
devices. Even if the hi-fi system is switched off,
it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the
mains. Always disconnect the mains plug dur-
ing a storm.
7
Continuous use at high volume level can cause
damage to the user’s hearing.
Note:
7Do not connect any other equipment while
the device is switched on. Switch off the oth-
er devices as well before connecting them.
7Only plug the device into the mains socket
after you have connected the external de-
vices. Make sure the power plug is freely
accessible.

CONNECTION AND PREPARATION---------------------------------------
Connecting the antenna
1Plug the auxiliary antenna supplied or the
roof antenna cable into the »FM ANT.«
socket.
Note:
7If no roof antenna is available, use
the auxiliary antenna supplied. When
suitably positioned, this antenna provides
reasonably good reception of local
FM (VHF) channels. Do not shorten the
auxiliary antenna.
Connecting the loudspeakers
1Insert the loudspeaker cables into the
terminals »+ SPEAKER LEFT -« and
»+SPEAKER RIGHT -«.
– Connect the marked cable to the red
terminal.
Connecting a USB memory stick
The hi-fi system supports most USB memory
sticks.
Note:
7The hi-fi system must be switched off while
the USB connection is being made. If it is
not switched off, data can be lost.
1Switch off the hi-fi system by pressing »8«.
2Connect the USB interface of the MP3 player
to the »USB« socket on the hi-fi system (on the
left side) using a standard USB cable;
or
insert the USB plug of the USB memory stick
in the »USB« socket on the hi-fi system (on the
left side).
Notes:
7To remove the MP3 player or the USB
memory stick, switch off the hi-fi system and
pull out the cable for the data medium.
7The USB socket on the hi-fi system does not
support a connection for a USB extension
cable and is not designed for directly
connecting to a computer.

11
ENGLISH
Connecting external devices
Note:
7
Switch the hi-fi system off before you
connect external devices.
1Use a standard audio cable to connect the
audio output of the external device to the
socket »AUX IN« on the back of the hi-fi
system.
Connecting the headphones
1Insert the headphone plug (ø 3.5 mm) into
the »U« socket on the left side of the hi-fi
system.
– The loudspeakers of the hi-fi system are
switched off.
Note:
7
Excessive sound pressure from the
earphones or headphones can cause
hearing loss.
CONNECTION AND PREPARATION---------------------------------------
Inserting a memory card
The hi-fi system supports SD/SDHC and MMC
memory cards.
Note:
7The hi-fi system must be switched off while
the memory card is being inserted. If it is
not switched off, data can be lost.
1Switch off the hi-fi system by pressing »8«.
2Insert the card carefully into the »SD« card
slot (on the left side) with gold contacts first
and facing to the backside, until it latches into
place.
Note:
7Do not use excessive force when inserting
the memory card. Only apply slight
pressure.
7The memory cards are resistant to dirt and
moisture, but may only be inserted into the
hi-fi system in a dry and clean condition.
7Never remove memory cards during
operation. This can damage the memory
card. This type of damage will invalidate
your warranty.
Removing the memory card
Note:
7
The hi-fi system must be switched off while
the memory card is being removed. If it is
not switched off, data can be lost.
1Switch off the hi-fi system by pressing » 8«.
2 Remove the memory card from the card slot
by pressing the card inwards slightly until the
latch is released. Then pull out the card.

plate (on the bottom of the hi-fi system)
corresponds to your local mains supply. If
this is not the case, contact your specialist
dealer.
7 Before connecting the AC power cord
to the wall socket, ensure that all other
connections have been made.
1 Insert the supplied mains cable into the
»AC~« socket on the hi-fi system.
