through adequate air circulation. Therefore the unit
should not be covered or inserted in an enclosed cabinet.
Make sure there is a free space of at least 10 cm around
the unit.
Improving station reception
The number and quality of the stations received depends
on the receiving conditions at the installation location.
Good reception can be obtained by using the FM
telescopic aerial (25). This aerial must be fully extended
to ensure the best possible reception.
The integrated MW aerial is adequate for receiving
stations in the MW frequency range. You can rotate the
unit to improve the quality of reception.

and ensure the latches on the cover engage in the
housing.
Note:
Make sure that only batteries of the same type are used.
Never use a mixture of old and new batteries.
Use leak-proof batteries!
Important information concerning disposal

Operating the CD player
General information concerning
CDs/MP3 CDs
This unit is suitable for playing music CDs that are
recorded with audio data (CD-DA or MP3 for CD-R and
CD-RW). MP3 formats must be produced to ISO 9660
Level 1 or Level 2. Multisession CDs cannot be read.
In MP3/WMA mode, the terms "Folder" = Album and
"Track" are crucial. “Folder” corresponds to the folder on
the PC and “Track” corresponds to the file on a PC or a
CD-DA track.
The unit sorts the albums and tracks of an album by
name in alphabetical order. If you happen to prefer a
different order, change the name of the track or the
album and insert a number before the name.
When burning CD-Rs and CD-RWs with audio data,
various problems can occur, which occasionally impair
playback. Causes of this are incorrect software and
hardware settings or the blank disc used. If such errors
occur, you should contact the customer service
department of your CD burner/software manufacturer or
search for corresponding information - e.g. on the
Internet.
Note:
When compiling audio CDs please observe the
respective legal regulations and do not violate the
copyrights of third parties.
Always keep the CD compartment closed to prevent dust
from accumulating on the laser lens.
The unit can play CDs with MP3/WMA files and normal
audio CDs (CD-DA). Other file types, e.g. *.doc, *.txt,
*.pdf, etc. are not supported. Music files or playlists with
the extensions *.AAC, *.DLF, *.M3U and *.PLS cannot be
played.
Note:
The wide variety of encoder software available means it
is impossible to guarantee that all MP3 files will play
flawlessly.
If there are faulty tracks/files, playback will resume at the
next track/file.
When burning the CD it is advantageous to burn it at a
low speed and to create the CD as a single session and
finalised version.
