PRELIMINARIES

CD TOPICS

Preliminaries

Check that the mains voltage on the rating
plate which is located at the rear of the unit
matches the mains voltage in your area.

Unwrap the power cord

Uncoil the FM antenna and extend it fully.

The system can be used freestanding or wall
mounted

Ensure there is a suitable power point within easy
reach. The mains plug must not be obstructed
and must be freely operable at all times.

Make sure there is a least 150 mm (6”) of free
space above the unit so that the CD door can
open to its full height.

If you are free standing the system, site the system
on a stable surface (ideally a stout shelf) where it
is unlikely to fall or get knocked over.

Make sure that you position the unit where the
remote handset can easily be operated in direct
line of sight and no more than 15 metres away.

The radio performance of the system depends on
the aerial. If you plan to wall mount the unit make
sure that there is adequate signal strength in your
proposed location before drilling the wall.

The FM aerial should be moved around to get the

MP3 discs take two basic forms.

The simplest MP3 disc is a collection of single tracks burned onto the disc rather
like a standard CD.

More often an MP3 disc will have a set of folders . The basic disc itself is called the
ROOT folder but a disc often has several additional folders. Each folder may
contain one or several songs. These may be arranged by performer, composer,
genre (Jazz, rock, etc.) and so on.

The system can play such discs and even read the full track information including
performer, song title, format, album - in fact everything that the company has
coded into the track. All this is much more comprehensive than that on a CD.

NAMING TRACKS AND FOLDERS

MP3 tracks use a tag naming system called ID3. Before you burn your tracks to a
CD you should name them on your PC. This name can simply be the title of the
song, or you can use any name that helps you to identify the track. This player is
able to read this information and you can search for a folder and then locate an
individual track by name.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Because of the amount of disc information the system has to read, starting and
stopping the disc can appear sluggish. Be patient!

If the formatting of the track is not very good (and many home recorded MP3s
aren’t), the song will not play.

For best results we advise you to burn the disc using software that will record a
proper MP3 formatted disc. Discs with a number of MP3 tracks in folders just
burnt as a PC data disc may not play.

ABOUT MP3 FORMATS

Load an MP3 disc

The player will load the disc and then stop. The basic
disc information will appear as in the illustration.

This tells you that the disc contains 4 folders with a total
of 24 songs. Of these 4 folders one of them will in all
probability be the basic disc or ROOT folder. This will
always play first.
