qualities that you find in full-fledged cinemas and  
incorporates some of the best features in home  
theater technology.  
Environmental information  
All unnecessary packaging has been omitted.We

polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,  
protective foam sheet).  
Other features include:  
Built-in Dolby Digital decoder, supporting  
Incredible Surround and DSC sound setting.  
Your system consists of materials which can be  
recycled and reused if disassembled by a  
specialised company. Please observe the local  
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging  
materials, exhausted batteries and old  
equipment.

General Information  
Hearing Safety  
Maintenance  
Listen at a moderate volume.  
When a disc becomes dirty,  
clean it with a cleaning cloth.  
Wipe the disc from the center  
out, in a straight line.  
Using headphones at a high volume can impair  
your hearing. This product can produce sounds  
in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for  
a normal person, even for exposure less than a  
minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered  
for those that may have already experienced  
some hearing loss.  
Do not expose the player,  
batteries or discs to humidity,  
rain, sand or excessive heat  
(caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).  
Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid dust  
on the lens.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing  
"comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of  
sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds  
"normal" can actually be loud and harmful to  
your hearing. To guard against this, set your  
volume to a safe level before your hearing  
adapts and leave it there.  
Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static  
spray intended for colour discs.  
The lens may cloud over when the player is  
suddenly moved from cold to warm  
surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.  
Leave the player in the warm environment until  
the moisture evaporates.  
To establish a safe volume level:  
Set your volume control at a low setting.  
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it  
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.  
Listen for reasonable periods of time:  
Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally  
"safe" levels, can also cause hearing loss.  
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and  
take appropriate breaks.  
Be sure to observe the following  
guidelines when using your headphones.  
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable  
periods of time.  
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your  
hearing adapts.  
Do not turn up the volume so high that you  
can't hear what's around you.  
You should use caution or temporarily  
discontinue use in potentially hazardous  
situations.  
Do not use headphones while operating a  
motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it  
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many  
areas.

How to transfer music files from PC to a  
USB mass storage device  
– If you have not organized MP3/WMA files into  
any albums on your disc, an album "01" will be  
automatically assigned for all those files.  
– Make sure that the file names of MP3 files end  
with .mp3. and the file names ofWMA files end  
with .wma.  
– For DRM protectedWMA files, useWindows  
Media Player 10 (or later) for conversion.Visit  
Media Player andWM DRM (Windows Media  
Digital Rights Management).  
By dragging and dropping music files, you can  
easily transfer your favorite music from PC to a  
USB mass storage device.  
For the flash player, you can also use its music  
management software for the music transfer.  
However, thoseWMA files may be  
unplayable for compatibility reasons.  
How to organize your MP3/WMA files on  
the USB mass storage device  
This Hi-Fi system will browse the MP3/WMA  
files in the folders/sub-folders/titles order.  
Example:  
1 Check the USB device has been properly  
connected. (See Installation: Connecting a USB  
device or memory card).
