Wiring the Mains Power Supply Plug(UK Only)

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug and, if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used.

Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted. If the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of the same colour as the pin face of the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.

However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do NOT connect the plug to a mains socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:–

BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE

As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:–

The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured

BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

What is MP3?

MP3 means MPEG1 Layer 3, the global standard for audio signal compression technology. It uses digital compression technology to compress original sound data by up to 12 times without sound quality degradation.

File Compatibility

The unit will playback files created in MP3 format

(Mpeg1.Layer3) with *.mp3 as their extension.

Files created in MP2 format (Mpeg1.Layer2) with *.mp2 as their extension can also be played back.

How many MP3 files can a CD-R or CD-RW disc record?

The maximum capacity of one CD-R or CD-RW disc is

740MB.

Normally, one MP3 file has a capacity of 4MB, therefore approximately 180 files can be recorded on a single disc.

Regarding the playback of CD-R/RW

In the case of an original CD-R(Recordable) recorded in audio CD format, CD-RW(Rewritable) and editing by the user, playback is processed on the respective completed status. (The player may not be played back according to the characteristics of the CD or recorded status.)

The CD-RW is comparably less reflexive than CD which causes more time delay to read.
