Special features of your HiFi system
Perfect sound is not a question of size, but of quality. This system gives you clear
and vivid sound for any kind of musical style, packaged in a timeless design.
The RCD 2000 is an elegant CD-RDS-Tuner combination, which can be used as
a standing system or mounted on the wall.
It uses a built-in transmitter to transfer data signals to the remote control and
audio signals to the loudspeakers.
All its components communicate without wires – even through walls.
The compact disc player has a CD text function, which means that it can display
the artist and the contents of the CD on the HiFi and the remote control.
The RCD 2000 has a large display which is raised by a motor to enable you to
read its information in comfort.
Up to five additional pairs of loudspeakers – all in different rooms – can be
operated with the HiFi system. Their sound settings can be adjusted individually
using the remote control.

SET-UP AND SAFETY ______________________________________________
To ensure that this high-quality, easy-to-use HiFi system provides you with lasting
satisfaction and enjoyment, please observe the following instructions when
setting it up.
This HiFi system is designed for the playback of audio signals.
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
Position your HiFi system as near as possible to the centre of the listening area.
If the HiFi is subject to sudden changes in temperature, for example if it is
brought in from the cold to a warm room, connect it to the mains supply and let
it stand for at least two hours before you insert a CD.
The HiFi is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it in the open, please
ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or lawn sprinklers, and
that it is not exposed to direct sunlight.
Do not place the HiFi system close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this
will impair cooling.
To not insert foreign objects in the HiFi CD compartment.
Never open the HiFi casing under any circumstances. The manufacturer accepts
no liability for damage resulting from improper handling.
Thunderstorms present a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the HiFi is
switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always
disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.
If the HiFi no longer scans CDs perfectly, use a commercially available cleaning
CD to clean the laser optics. Other cleaning methods may damage the laser
optics.
Always keep the CD compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on the
laser optics.

SET-UP AND SAFETY_________________________________________________________________

The wireless transmission system
Your HiFi system is equipped with an HF system which enables it to transmit and
receive audio and data signals without the need for cables.
The HF transmission strength is limited by national and international regulations
to prevent radio interference from neighbouring devices.
The HF transmission power is < 10 mW. This guarantees an unhindered
reception range of approximately 30 m. This range is restricted inside buildings,
depending on the construction materials used.
Avoid placing the system near metal objects such as radiators or electrical
devices such as cordless telephones which use radio signals.
Since the audio and data signals are not transmitted on an exclusive range we
cannot guarantee that this will not cause interference. To avoid interference you
can change the communication channel for the audio signal.
In some circumstances, people, walls and other surfaces can reflect radio
signals. Reflected signals can mix with direct (non-reflected) signals thus causing
a type of interference known as multi-path reception. This can lead to noise or a
temporary loss of sound. If such interference does occur, simply position the
loudspeakers differently.
The remote control batteries
Make sure that the batteries are not inserted in the battery compartment before
you first install the system, as this will wear them out unnecessarily.
