Handling instructions
•
Recharging already charged or half-charged batteries will shorten their
lifetime. We therefore recommend that you let the rechargeable ECO-PLUS
NiMH battery run till it is completely empty before you recharge it.
To avoid a short circuit, do not let the battery touch any metal object.
If the battery becomes empty soon after recharging, then either its contacts
are dirty or it has reached the end of its lifetime.
– Always disconnect the adapter when you are not
using it.
•
•
Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly

ABOUT MP3/ WMA
PLAYING A CD
The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) and WMA
(Windows Media Audio) significantly reduce the digital data of an audio CD while
maintaining CD quality sound.
With this set you can play
– all pre-recorded audio CDs (CDDA)
Important: CDs encoded with copyright protection technologies by some record
companies may be unplayable by this product.
– all finalized audio CDRs and CDRWs
– WMA/MP3-CDs (CD-ROMs with WMA/MP3 files)
• Getting MP3/WMA files: you can either download legal music files from the
internet to your computer hard disc, or create such files by converting audio
CD files in your computer through appropriate encoder software. (128kbps bit is
recommended for MP3 files and 96 kbps bit rate for WMA files.)
• Creating a MP3/WMA CD: burn the music files from your computer hard
disc on a CDR or CDRW using your CD burner.

ESP / POWERSAVING MODE
RESUME
( main set only, audio CD only)
With a conventional portable CD-player you might have experienced that the
music stopped e.g. when you were jogging. The Electronic Skip Protection (ESP)
prevents loss of sound caused by light vibrations and shocks. Continuous playback
is ensured. However ESP does not prevent playback interruptions during vigorous
running. It also does not protect the unit against any damage caused by
dropping!
RESUME - continuing from where you have stopped
You can store the last position played. When restarting, playback will continue
from where you have stopped (RESUME). Use the OFF-RESUME-HOLD slider on
the set for this function.
