cd/mp3 operation
Warning:
Do not insert cDs containing anything other
than standard audio or mP files into the disc slot. the
cD mechanism contains precision laser components which
could easily be damaged by inserting foreign objects.
important:
Because of the wide dynamic range offered
by cD systems, the difference in volume level between
very soft sounds and very loud sounds can be quite high.
For this reason we recommend that you avoid turning the
volume level up to loud when listening to very soft music or
tracks with no audio level, otherwise a sudden change to
very loud music could damage your speakers.

precautions for cd-r and cd-rW discs
the Gr9000 will not play a cD that has not been finalised,
please refer to the instruction manual of the software
or the recorder you are using to write these cDs for the
finalisation process.
to ensure a more reliable playback, please follow GmE
recommendations:
• use cD-rWs with a speed of 1x to 4x and write with a
speed of 1x to x.
• use cD-rs with a speed of 1x to 8x and write with a
speed of 1x to x.
• Do not play cD-rWs that have been written to more that
5 times.
note:
if a disc contains audio cD data and mP files, the
Gr9000 will only play which ever is first on the disc. if the
first track on the disc is an mP file, the unit will only play
the mP files from the disc, and will ignore all other files
and vice versa.
precautions for mp3
the format of the disc must be iso9660 level 1 or , or
Joliet or romeo in the expansion format.
When naming an mP file, ensure the file extension is ‘
.mp3
’
the Gr9000 will not recognise a non mP file even though
the name extension is ‘
.mp3
’.
auXIlIarY InputS & outputS
to maximise the owner’s listening flexibility and pleasure
the models within the Gr9000 series have several auxiliary
inputs and outputs.
front panel inputs
there are standard usB and sD card inputs located on the
front panel.
When using the usB input please ensure the usB Adaptor
(Part # AD00) supplied as a standard accessory with each
Gr9000 is utilised and the transparent front cover is always
fully closed to avoid any possibility of water ingress.
the are many styles and sizes of usB memory sticks and sD
cards available on the market today, however for optimum
performance GmE recommends:
• Part # usB001 GmE usB memory stick
• Part # sDc001 GmE sD card
these devices have been specifically manufactured for GmE
and are available from your local GmE retailer.
aux input
the Gr9000 has a .5 mm stereo jack low level (1 Volt
peak to peak) audio input lines. owners may use this input
for external audio sources that they wish to control and
play through the vessel’s stereo system.
GmE offers a custom interface cable for iPod® and other
mP portable devices connection; Part # lE68. When using
this connection, it is necessary to use the portable device
functions to control play.
rear output
the Gr9000 series has front and rear, right and left
channel low level audio output lines. owners may use these
outputs to drive external booster amplifiers should they
have a particularly large vessel or require supplementary
audio output power.
When a suitable external amplifier is connected the volume,
tone and balance settings may still be controlled at the Gr9000.
Warning:
Extreme care should be taken when connecting
any external device to your Gr9000 rear inputs or outputs.
GmE strongly recommends that all such installations should
be carried out by a suitably qualified technician.
