Glossary / Supplementary Information
CD
Compact Discs (CD) are digital data media which need to be handled carefully.
These are the basic rules:
•
The surface of a CD should only ever be cleaned with a soft dry cloth. Never
wipe it in a circular motion, i. e. along the tracks.
•
Never use petrol, paint thinners, disc cleaners or similar materials on
compact discs.
•
CDs must be handled carefully in order to avoid serious damage to the
surface. Severely scratched surfaces, writing on the disc or applying self-
adhesive labels may result in the CD player being unable to read the data.
•
CDs should not be heated or bent. This means that they should be stored in a
position and attitude which meet these requirements.
H
LINK
Control interface for remote control of
systems. The CD player /
MP 3000 HV
receives the infra-red remote control signals and passes then on
to the power amplifier and to the source devices.
Field strength
The electrical field strength is a measurement of the level (strength) of the radio
signal supplied by the antenna. In general terms, the higher the field strength of
the tuned station, the better the reception quality. Signal field strength is
determined primarily by the following factors:
1. Distance from radio transmitter
2. Obstacles (mountains etc.) between transmitter and receiver
3. Transmitter output power
4. Quality and direction of the receiver antenna system.
Point 4 is of crucial importance here. It is impossible to obtain good reception
with a poor aerial system.
Your specialist
dealer will be glad to advise you on the subject of installing
or improving your aerial system, taking your specific local reception conditions
into account.
FM
= Frequency Modulation
All FM radio transmitters use the
'FM'
method of modulation. This technology
provides maximum possible sound quality and interference suppression.
Cable Network
When the
MP 3000 HV
's tuner was being developed the requirements of the
European cable network were given high priority. The tuner copes very well
with excessive signal levels, and its high selectivity avoids many of the
problems involved with cable operation, without any reduction in reproduction
quality.
MIX
In MIX-Mode (Shuffle) the titles of a CD or the titles of a program are played
back in a random order.
Muting =
Hiss suppression
The
MP 3000 HV
features automatic hiss suppression which cuts out the
annoying hissing sound between radio stations, and suppresses very weak
stations which cannot be received with reasonable quality.
Preset
= station memory
The
MP 3000 HV
can store all the settings for stations, any of which can be
recalled simply by pressing a button.
RDS
= Radio Data System
Many radio stations broadcast supplementary digital information simultaneously
with the programme. The
MP 3000 HV
is equipped with an RDS decoder, and
displays the station name of RDS transmitters in plain text on its alpha-numeric
screen. This is a great advantage when searching for particular stations.
SINGLE CD
A Single CD‘ is a CD with smaller diameter and a shorter play time. The
MP 3000 HV
can play back CD singles. Please insert these discs into the
depression at the center of the disc tray.
Standby
The
MP 3000 HV
can be switched on from the Standby state from the remote
control handset.
Seek threshold
The seek threshold is the minimum field strength value at which the automatic
station search process halts. It is set at a level which ignores very weak
transmitters.
