Dear customers,

This operating manual assumes that your authorised dealer has provided you with your

FineArts Audion system in an assembled state, connected and ready for operation.

If you want to change the settings yourself or look for new radio stations, please read the

enclosed installation manual.

The operating manual also describes the digital radio operation (Digital Audio Broad-

casting) and illustrates the display options for this operating mode. DAB operation is only

possible with an integrated DAB module (optional).

FINE ARTS AUDION__________________________________________________________________

The FineArts Audion system is made up of the following individual components:

– RCD 8300 HiFi system

– PR1 remote control

– LSP2 active loudspeaker

– LSP3 active loudspeaker

In multi-room mode, room 1 always refers to the room in which the HiFi system

is installed.

Within the framework of the overall system, the following operating modes are

possible:

– The HiFi system operates one or two pairs of loudspeakers in room 1.

– The HiFi system operates additional pairs of loudspeakers in other rooms (one

pair of speakers per room).

– In multi-room mode, two different input sources can be set for different rooms,

i.e. FM, CD and – if a DAB module is integrated – DAB.

– In multi-room mode, you can operate the HiFi system and the pairs of spea-

kers in the other rooms by means of a remote control or additional remote

controls.

– You can operate the HiFi system or a Grundig television (room 1) with a

remote control.

– Via the WT2 radio module, the television alternately operates the same louds-

peakers as the HiFi system (room 1). The WT2 radio module must be configu-

red on the 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 packaged in a timeless design.

The RCD 8300 is an elegant combination of tuner and CD operation, with the

added option of receiving digital radio stations (DAB). It can be used as a

standing device, or it can be mounted on the wall .

It uses a built-in transmitter to transfer data signals to the remote control and

audio signals to the loudspeakers.

All its components communicate without wires – even through walls.

The CD player has a CD text function. This means that if ”CD text” is provided

by a CD, the HiFi and remote control displays can show information on the artist

and the contents of the CD.

The large display of the RCD 8300 can be rotated by a motor in horizontal

mode, enabling you to read its information in comfort.

Up to nine pairs of loudspeakers – all in different rooms – can be operated with

the HiFi system. Their sound settings can be adjusted individually using the

remote control.

In combination with the WT2 radio module the RCD 8300 active loudspeakers

can also be used for operation with special Grundig televisions.

SET-UP AND SAFETY ______________________________________________

To ensure that this high-quality, easy-to-use HiFi system will provide lasting

satisfaction and enjoyment, please observe the following instructions when

setting it up.

This HiFi system is designed for the playback of audio signals.

Any other use is expressly prohibited.

Position your HiFi system as near as possible to the centre of the area of appli-

cation. If you want to set up the HiFi system on wall shelves or in cupboards,

please ensure that the device is adequately ventilated. There must be at least

10 cm of space at the side, above and at the back of the device.

If the HiFi is subject to sudden changes in temperature, for example if it is

brought in from the cold to a warm room, do not connect it to the mains supply,

but let it stand for at least two hours before you insert a CD.

The HiFi system is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it in the open,

please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or water splashes,

and from direct sunlight. Do not place the HiFi system close to heating units or in

direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.

To not insert foreign objects in the HiFi CD compartment. Do not place any ves-

sels containing fluid, such as vases, on the HiFi system. These may be knocked

over and spill fluid on the electrical components, thus presenting a safety risk.

Do not place any objects such as burning candles on the HiFi system.

Never open the HiFi casing under any circumstances. Warranty claims are

excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.

Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the HiFi is switched

off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always disconnect the

mains and antenna plugs during a storm.

SET-UP AND SAFETY_________________________________________________________________

If the stereo system no longer scans CDs perfectly, use a standard cleaning CD

to clean the laser optics. Other cleaning methods may damage the laser optics.

Always keep the CD compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on the

laser optics.

The wireless transmission system

Your HiFi system is equipped with a system which enables it to transmit and

receive audio and data signals Connection cables to the loudspeakers are no

longer necessary.

The transmission strength is limited by national and international regulations to

prevent radio interference from neighbouring devices.

The transmission power is <10 mW. This guarantees an unhindered reception

range of approximately 100 m. This range is restricted inside buildings, depen-

ding on the construction materials used.

Avoid placing the system near metal objects such as radiators or electrical devi-

ces which use radio signals, such as wireless headphones or cordless or mobile

phones.

Since the audio and data signals are not transmitted on an exclusive range we

cannot guarantee that this will not cause interference. To avoid interference you

can choose a different channel combination. Make sure that the same channel

combination is set on the HiFi system and the WT2 radio module, if there is one.

In some circumstances, people, walls and other surfaces can reflect radio sig-

nals. Reflected signals, mixed with direct (non-reflected) signals, can cause a

type of interference known as multi-path reception. This can lead to noise or a

temporary loss of sound. If such interference does occur, you can usually rectify

it by repositioning the active loudspeakers or the HiFi system.
