IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please read through the instruction manual carefully before starting to use the device. This manual contains important information concerning operation and safety aspects. It is imperative you observe all of the information. Keep the manual in a safe location.

WARNING NOTICES: All of the warning symbols on the device, accessories and in the instruction manual itself must be adhered to.
EXPOSURE TO HEAT: Only operate the device and accessories in a temperature range from 10°C to 40°C.
the device should not be positioned near heat sources (heaters, ovens, radiant heaters, naked flames, etc.). When setting up close to an amplifier a minimum distance of 10 cm must be maintained.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the device.
Pay attention to a sufficient ventilation of the device. The device may not be covered, e.g. by drapes, curtains. Maintain a distance of 20 cm to walls.
EFFECT OF MOISTURE: The device should not be exposed to dripping or splash water. Neither should it be used to support vases or other containers filled with liquid. Do not expose the device to water or high levels of humidity. There is a danger of electric shock. In the event of contact with moisture or liquids the device should be disconnected from the mains immediately..
FOREIGN MATERIAL: Ensure that no foreign material enters through the device openings and into the interior. This could trigger short circuits and even result in electric shock and fire.
LEANING: Please use a soft, dry cloth with no cleaning agents, sprays or chemical solvents, as these could damage the surfaces.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION: Please note the voltage levels on the information signs. The device should only be operated with the voltage and frequency values specified on the signs.
LIGHTNING PROTECTION/PREVENTIVE MEASURES: If the device is not going to be used for a prolonged period (e.g. when on holiday), it should be disconnected from the mains by removing the plug. The device should also be disconnected from the mains in the event of a thunderstorm. Doing this will prevent damage caused by lightning and overvoltage.
AINS CABLE: The mains cable must always be suitable for operation and it should only ever be laid out in a manner that prevents it from being trodden on. It should not be pinched by objects either, as this can damage the cable. When using plugs and power strips it must be ensured that the cable is not kinked at the point where it emerges from the socket. Do not connect or remove the mains cable with damp hands.
The mains plug is used as the disconnecting device. Disconnecting devices shall remain readily operable.
OVERLOAD: Sockets, power strips and extension cables should not be overloaded. If an overload occurs, there is a risk of electric shock and fire. Observe the information on sockets and extension cables.
SETTING UP: Please read the installation instructions.
The device should only be positioned or mounted on a solid surface and not on moving base frames, otherwise there is a risk of injury.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
BATTERIES (battery pack or batteries installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat, such as sunshine, fire and the like.
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

RISK OF SWALLOWING BATTERIES!
· The product/remote control may contain a coin/button type battery, which can be swallowed. Keep the battery out of reach of children at all times! If swallowed, the battery can cause serious injury or death. Severe internal burns can occur within two hours of ingestion.

If you suspect that a battery has been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.
When you change the batteries, always keep all new and used batteries out of reach of children. Ensure that the battery compartment is completely secure after you replace the battery.
If the battery compartment cannot be completely secured, discontinue use of the product. Keep out of reach of children and contact the manufacturer.

DAMAGE THAT MUST BE RECTIFIED BY A SPECIALIST:
If any of the following damage occurs, disconnect the device from the mains immediately and contact a specialist to conduct the repair work:

The device should not continue to be operated if there is visible damage to the mains cable. A damaged cable should not be repaired, but must be replaced.
Damage to the mains socket at the device.
If moisture or water has entered the device or foreign objects have fallen into the device.
If the device has fallen and the housing is damaged.
If the device does not work properly, even though all of the information in the instruction manual has been observed.

Only those subsequent alterations approved by the manufacturer may be conducted. Only original spare parts should be used for repair. After conducting any repairs the safety of device should be checked to ensure it is functioning correctly and safely.
Repairs must always be conducted by qualified specialists, as you might otherwise be exposed to dangerous high voltage levels or other hazards.\ This symbol warns the user that high voltage is used within the device which can result in electric shock. This symbol makes the user aware that there are important notes in the enclosed instruction manual which must be observed. WARNING:DO NOT OPEN! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.
This is Class II apparatus with double insulation, and no protective earth provided.

Connect your speakers:
The stereo speakers (impedance of 4 to 8 ohms) are connected to the rear as follows:Only use high-quality audio speaker cables with a conductor cross section of min. 1.5 – 2.5 mm². Strip approx. 10 mm from the cables and twist the ends. Loosen the terminal screws one after the other and insert the stripped ends into the holes. Re-tighten the terminal screws. Make sure you pay attention to the correct polarity. You can also use prefabricated cables with 4mm banana plugs or forked fittings.
Also observe the operating instructions for the speakers you are using.
Connect your audio sources.
Connect the DAB/FM antenna to the antenna connection point at the rear of the device. For later operation, the position of the antenna should then be determined according to where the best reception is. The end of antenna should then be secured in the appropriate position, e.g. using a drawing pin. Reception can be improved by a suitable indoor or outdoor household antenna if the reception is not so good.

If this is the case, you may be required to manually reconfirm the connection on the source device. If a connection has not already been made or the connection cannot be re-established, the MC 200 will automatically activate the ‚pairing mode‘. „BT“ will flash on the display. Now activate the Bluetooth mode on your source device. The MC 200 will appear in the list of Bluetooth devices as „MC 200“. If it is not displayed in the list, set your source device to search for Bluetooth devices manually and make sure that the MC 200 has been switched to the pairing mode. Depending on the source device, you may be asked whether the password is to be accepted during the pairing procedure. You can confirm this by simply pressing „Accept“. If you are still asked for a password, use the default passwords „0000“ or „1234“. If you are asked if you want to establish a connection after pairing, please select „Yes“. When the device has been paired and connected successfully the „BT“ indicator will illuminate continuously. The MC 200 supports the „Qualcomm® aptX™“ high quality audio transmission standard. If your source device also supports this standard, „Qualcomm® aptX™“ will be selected automatically as the transfer mode when establishing a Bluetooth connection.

PRESET MEMORY
