Operating the radio
This device receives radio stations on the frequency bands,
Ultra short wave (USW or engl. FM) and Medium wave (MW
or engl. AM).
The technical details of the device allow for an adjustable fre-
quency range outside of the receivable MW (AM) 526,5-
1606,5 kHz, and/or FM (USW) 87,5-108,0 MHz frequency
ranges. In some countries, different national regulations may
apply to the assigned radio frequency ranges. Please note that
information received outside of the assigned radio frequency
ranges may not be exploited, passed on to third parties or oth-
erwise misused.
In order to receive a good USW reception with the Micro >
system unwind the dipole antenna 2* on the rear panel of
the device completely.
If the reception is insufficient change the position of the dipole
>
antenna 2*. Secure the dipole antenna 2*, if necessary, with
sticky tape.
The device has a built in ferrite antenna for reception of
>
MW stations. When the MW reception is insufficient please
turn the device in a more favourable direction.
To activate the radio function move the FUNCTION switch
> o
to the "RADIO" position.
Now select with the BAND switch
> i the desired frequency
band FM or AM depending on which band the stations
that you want to listen to are located. When the switch is in
the FM ST position the device plays USW stations in stereo.
With the help of the TUNING controller
> y you can now se-
lect the stations. For this turn the controller in a clockwise di-
rection to select stations with a higher broadcast frequency
than the one currently shown in the display r.
Turn the TUNING controller
> y in a counter clockwise di-
rection to select stations with a lower broadcast frequency
than the one currently show in the display r.
When the device receives stereo USW transmissions, in the
>
display r the symbol lights up.
If the stereo reception becomes noisy move the BAND >
switch i to the FM position and thus switch to mono.
Operating the CD player
The device plays audio CDs (CD-A) and MP3-CDs. Both pres-
sed and blank discs burnt on the computer of the format CD-R

ware and burning processes we are not able to guarantee that
every "burnt" disc will playback faultlessly.
