SAFETY CAUTIONS
We recommend that you read this chapter completely and
with care and follow the instructions detailed. In doing this,
the correct functioning and the long duration of the MP3
Jukebox are ensured. Please keep these instructions
somewhere safe in order to be able to hand them to a new
owner in any eventual case of sale.
In case of any problems, address exclusively to your local
authorised service centre.
Data Security
You must guard against the loss of your
important data by making backup cop-
ies. You can backup your data onto
CDR, CDRW, floppy disk, USB memory
drive or other media such as ZIP
drives. It depends upon how much
data you want to backup. IF you do
this and something happens to the hard
drive in your computer, you have an-
other copy of your data. We do not
assume liability for any data loss or
damage to data storage units, and no
claims can be accepted for damages
resulting from the loss of data or any
consequential losses.

WMA Audio Format
Your MP3 Jukebox can also play back files in the WMA
format. Some WMA encoders can use DRM (Digital Rights
Management) and thus prevent playback on portable de-
vices.
Use the Windows Media Player from Version 7.0, because it
contains a function for rerecording music files on portable
devices. Then, it will be possible to reproduce the WMA
files created in this way on your MP3 Jukebox.

When using the Windows®Mediaplayer®make sure this
option is disabled in order to play back the converted
files on your MP3-Player:
