This document outlines the operation, maintenance, and safety guidelines for a versatile audio system. The device integrates multiple playback options, including a phonograph, CD player, cassette player, USB playback, and radio (DAB/FM), along with Bluetooth connectivity.
Function Description
The core functionality of this system revolves around its ability to play various audio formats. The phonograph supports 33, 45, and 78 rpm records, featuring a belt-drive turntable. The CD player is compatible with standard CDs, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3 discs. For cassette tapes, it accommodates C60-C90 types, with a warning against C120 cassettes. USB connectivity allows for MP3 playback and recording from various sources. The radio function includes both FM and DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) modes, offering a wide range of stations. Bluetooth functionality enables wireless audio streaming from compatible portable devices.
Beyond playback, the device also offers recording capabilities. Users can record from the radio (FM), CD, MP3 discs, cassette tapes, phonograph, and Bluetooth sources directly to a USB disk. This allows for easy digitization of analog media or capture of radio broadcasts.
The system is designed for ease of use, featuring a clear LCD display for navigation and status updates. A remote control is included, mirroring most of the front panel controls for convenient operation from a distance.
