Take it easy with the power cable
In normal operation please never unplug your device while it is turned on or in sleep mode.
It might damage your device.
CD handling precautions
• Handle discs carefully - grab the outside edges of the disc instead of the top/bottom
surfaces so as not to damage or scratch the front side. Always keep the disc clean.
• Do not use a disc with a special shape.
• For best performance when recording from a CD, try to maintain a temperature of
95
∞
F or less in the room where the OPUS is located.
The OPUS shows no reaction
If pressing buttons or turning wheels does not produce any reaction of your OPUS, please
try these first aid measures:
1. Press the Power On/Off button on the front of your OPUS for about 4-5 seconds.
OPUS should now be switched off. Wait a few seconds, then press this button again
to switch the OPUS on again. It needs about 40 second for the initialization process
and then the main menu should be displayed again. Your stored music is not endan-
gered by this action.
2. Unplug OPUS’s power cord from its AC outlet. Wait a few seconds and plug it in
again. Now press the On/Off button on the front of your OPUS. It needs about 40
second for the initialization process and then the main menu should be displayed
again. Your stored music is not endangered by this action.
If these actions don’t do the trick, please follow the instructions of the next section.
Recovery DVD
The OPUS shipment contains a Recovery DVD, which can be used to restore the operating
system software to an OPUS. Please note that in very few extreme cases, this process can
lead to the loss of your music files as well as the accompanying tag information!
1. Power off the OPUS using the button, or by unplugging the power cord.
2. Switch OPUS on by pressing the On/Off switch while holding down the play button
until the OPUS display shows three CD icons and the OPUS icon.
3. Insert the Recovery DVD. Please note that OPUS waits only about 10 seconds for a
CD before attempting to start up from its internal system. The OPUS will now start up
using the operating system of the CD.
4. Choose the display language.
5. The display will show the following four options:
• DELETE: The OPUS will be forced to the factory settings. Everything, including
music and data is deleted. After this process OPUS is fresh out of the box.
• RECOVERY: Only the operating system is restored. Music files and tag informa-
tion are not touched. If this option fails, or shows error messages, or in any other
respect did not complete smoothly, you will have to choose the DELETE option
for recovering.
• REBOOT: Cancel the recovery process of the recovery DVD and restart OPUS in
the normal way.
• POWER OFF: OPUS is switched off.
6. Press the appropriate soft key and the chosen process starts, showing status mes-
sages during progress.
7. On successful completion OPUS shows a message on the display and can be re-
started in the normal way.
