Make sure the voltage specifications on the nameplate (back of the appliance) correspond
to the available power supply voltage before establishing the connection. Serious damage
can be caused by incorrect supply voltages.
Connect the appliance connection plug of the supplied mains cable to the "AC INPUT" (27) mains connec-
tion of the dual CD player. Insert the mains plug into a 230 V~/50 Hz mains socket.
11. Putting the appliance into service
Only put the appliance into service once you have become familiar with its features and
these operating instructions. Check whether all connections have been established prop-
erly. Do not put the appliance into service if it is damaged.
Do not listen to music at excessive volume since it can damage your hearing.
The amplifier of the system should always be switched on last and switched off first. In this
way you can prevent any undesired noises (which can be made when switching off the CD
player, for example) from damaging the amplifier or loudspeakers.
Make sure the connected appliances are not overloaded. Playback may not be distorted
under any circumstances. If any distorted music signals can be heard even though the vol-
ume which is set on the amplifier is not too high, switch off the dual CD player immediate-
ly and check the connection. Please contact a specialist if there is no error to the connec-
tion.
CD player 1 and CD player 2 are equipped with exactly the same features and can be operated separately.
a) Switching on the appliance
Turn the volume of the connected amplifier to a minimum. Switch off the dual CD player by the on/off
switch. Then, if a mixer is connected, switch it on and finally switch on the amplifier of the system.
b) Inserting CDs
Open the CD compartment by pressing the OPEN/CLOSE button
either on the control unit or the drive unit. "OPEN" appears on the
display.
☞
The open drive tray is closed automatically after
about 60 seconds if no other button is pressed.
Insert an audio CD in the CD tray with the written side facing
upwards. Hold the CD by the outer edge and avoid touching its
inner surface.
The dual CD player is only designed for playing audio
CDs. Do not insert any other CDs. Make sure the CD is placed properly in the recess in the
tray intended for this purpose.
Only insert CDs, and only one CD at a time in each CD tray. Never interfere with the motor-
driven movements of the CD drive tray. Do not push the CD compartment closed since this
would damage the mechanics and result in malfunctions.
Close the drive tray by pressing the OPEN/CLOSE button again. The appliance reads in the CD ("rEAd" is
displayed). The total amount of tracks and the total CD playing time is briefly displayed on the LC display.
The appliance then automatically sets the CUE mark at the beginning of the music of the first track on the
CD. The CD player switches to pause mode after reading in the CD.
