RCD 2000 HIFI SYSTEM ______________________________________ Special features of your HiFi system Perfect sound is not a question of size, but of quality. This system gives you clear and vivid sound for any kind of musical style, packaged in a timeless design. The RCD 2000 is an elegant CD-RDS-Tuner combination, which can be used as a standing system or mounted on the wall. It uses a built-in transmitter to transfer data signals to the remote control and audio signals to the loudspeakers.
SET-UP AND SAFETY °C °C 2h ǵ ĵĵ MUTE ON/OFF Ǽ ĵĵ SOUND MODE OPEN/CLOSE ľ ĵĵ MUTE ǵ SOURCE Position your HiFi system as near as possible to the centre of the listening area. If the HiFi is subject to sudden changes in temperature, for example if it is brought in from the cold to a warm room, connect it to the mains supply and let it stand for at least two hours before you insert a CD. The HiFi is designed for use in dry rooms.
SET-UP AND SAFETY _________________________________________________________________ The wireless transmission system Your HiFi system is equipped with an HF system which enables it to transmit and receive audio and data signals without the need for cables. The HF transmission strength is limited by national and international regulations to prevent radio interference from neighbouring devices. The HF transmission power is < 10 mW. This guarantees an unhindered reception range of approximately 30 m.
