Any other use is expressly prohibited. If you want to set up the hi-fi system on wall shelves or in cupboards, please ensure that it is adequately ventilated. There must be at least 10 cm of space at the side, above and behind the hi-fi system. The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc. When setting up the hi-fi, remember that furniture is often coated with various types of varnish and plastic, which often contain chemical additives. These additives may cause corrosion to the feet of the unit. This may leave stains on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove. If the hi-fi system is exposed to sudden changes in temperature, for example when taken from the cold into a warm room, wait at least two hours before using it. The hi-fi system is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it outdoors, make sure it is protected from moisture such as dripping or splashing water. Only use the device in a moderate climate. Do not place the hi-fi system close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling. The hi-fi sytem shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the device. Do not insert any foreign objects in the CD compartment. Do not place any objects such as burning candles on the hi-fi system. Do not open the hi-fi system 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 hi-fi system is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains or the antenna cable. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm and, if necessary, the LAN plug. ENGLISH Note: Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on.

The music archive can be a PC or an external hard drive and must be administered by a UPnP server. The selection according to folders and tracks depends on the structure of the music archive and on the UPnP server software in use (e.g. Nero Media Home, Windows Media Player 11). Access times can lengthen depending on the size of the music archive this may make usage inconvenient. Operation is either not possible or restricted while the UPnP server completely reads the music archive. If the tracks in the music archive are stored with the ID3 tag format (track, artist, album, genre, etc.), this information is also displayed on the Ovation 2i, and these tracks can be selected using this information. Depending on the configuration of the PC or the hard drive, the Ovation 2i must be enabled on the PC or the hard drive. The UPnP server must be approved in any firewalls that may be installed. Several UPnP servers can be used in parallel. 1 Press »i« to open the main menu. 2 Select menu item »Client« with »S« or »A« and confirm with »9«. – The available music archives are displayed.

The mono/stereo setting is stored for each preset. 30 TUNER OPERATION (FM) -----------------------------------------RDS information RDS (Radio Data System) is an information system which is transmitted additionally by most FM stations. When the hi-fi system receives an RDS station, the station name appears in the display, for example »Fantasy« and »RDS«. Notes: It may take some time before all the RDS information is transmitted. GRUNDIG has no influence on the correctness of this information. Searching for RDS stations 1 Search for the desired RDS station by pressing »A« or »S« repeatedly until an RDS station is received and »RDS« appears in the display. – If the reception is strong enough, the station name appears after a short time. RDS time synchronisation Some RDS stations transmit an RDS time signal. If reception is good the time is automatically updated with this time signal, if you have activated this function (display »CT«), please also refer to the chapter on setting the time on pages 17/18. Time synchronisation can take several minutes, and even with good reception the accuracy depends on the time signal being transmitted. The automatic setting is always activated if the hi-fi is switched on from standby to radio mode and a suitable RDS station can be received (if an RDS time signal is expected, the » « symbol flashes in the display. It glows constantly when RDS time synchronisation has been performed). Viewing RDS information If an RDS station is being received, the frequency briefly appears in the display followed by the station name and the radio text as ticker text. 1 Press »DISPLAY R« once. – The programme type appears in the display (PTY). ENGLISH 2 Press »DISPLAY R« again. – The current time and the date appear in the display. 31 CD MODE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The hi-fi system is suitable for music CDs bearing the logo shown here (CD-DA), and for CD-Rs and CD-RWs with audio data or MP3 formats. In MP3/WMA mode, the terms “album” and “file” are very important. “Album” corresponds to a folder on a PC, “file” to a file on a PC or a CD-DA track. An MP3 CD may not contain more than 512 tracks/albums. The hi-fi system sorts the albums, or the files on an album, by name into alphabetical order. If you wish to order them differently, change the name of the file or album – before burning the CD – and put a number before the name. When burning CD-R and CD-RWs with audio files, various problems may arise which could lead to problems with playback. This can be caused by faulty software or hardware settings or by the CD being used. Should such problems arise, contact the customer services of your CD burner or software manufacturer or look for relevant information, for example on the Internet. When you are making audio CDs, observe all legal guidelines and ensure that the copyright of third parties is not infringed. Always keep the CD compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on the laser optics. Do not attach adhesive labels to CDs. Keep the surfaces of CDs clean. You can play standard 12 cm CDs as well as 8 cm CDs on your device. An adapter is not necessary.

The boot loader then loads further parts of the operating system. Domain name system The domain name system (DNS) is one of the most important services on the Internet. Its main function is to convert Internet address into the corresponding IP address. Firmware version Firmware is the term used for software that is embedded in a programmed chip (microcontroller). It is mostly stored in a flash memory, an EPROM or an EEPROM. The firmware contains functions for the control of the Ovation. Gateway IP A gateway allows networks, which may be based on completely different protocols, to communicate with each other. In the home area, a combination of the router and the DSL modem are used as an Internet gateway. Hardware version Hardware in this context means the Ovation. This includes all components such as processor, drives, display, etc. IP address An IP address (Internet protocol address) is used to uniquely identify the address of computers and other devices in an IP network. The most well-known network in which IP addresses are used in the Internet. Here, for example, web servers are addressed using the IP address. The IP address can be provided automatically by the router (automatic address) or it is entered manually in the router (static address). If it is entered manually, this address must also be entered in the hi-fi system. NAS (network access storage) ENGLISH The abbreviation NAS is used for devices that provide data from a hard drive to a network. 55 INFORMATION -----------------------------------------------------------------------------Network name (SSID) The network name (SSID – service set identifier) is the term used for the identification of a wireless network that is based on IEEE 802.11. Every wireless LAN has a configurable SSID, which uniquely identifies the wireless network. The character sequence of the network name can be up to 32 characters in length. If is configured in the base station (access point) of a wireless LAN and set on all clients which access it. Network mask The network mask or net mask, also sometimes referred to as subnet mask is a bit mask that separates an IP address into a network part and a device/host part. It is used in IP networks to make routing decisions. Private IP address Private IP address belong to particular IP address ranges that are not routed in the Internet. They can be used by anybody for private networks such as LANs. Many computer networks require complete connectivity at IP level, but only limited access to the Internet. If such a computer network has a private IP address range, it forms an intranet which cannot be accessed from the Internet, as the Internet routers ignore private address ranges. A gateway or router that is placed in this private network and which also has a public address in the Internet as well as a private IP address, makes the connection to the Internet. This can be performed by a proxy or using NAT/PAT/Masquerading. As the used address range can only be seen within the private network, the same range can also be used in other private networks. The unique nature of an IP address required by the Internet protocol, is ensured by this restricted visibility. Proxy server A proxy or proxy server is a service program for computer networks that administers data transfer. It makes data transfer faster, can also increase security by implementing access control mechanisms. The transfer is conducted between computers or programs in computer networks. On the server side, the proxy acts as a client, on the client side it acts as a server. 56 INFORMATION -----------------------------------------------------------------------------Router A router is a network component that links several computer networks. The router analyses (on the basis of layer 3 information) the network packages of a protocol it receives and forwards it to the intended destination network. Conventional routers work on layer 3 of the application layer. A router has an interface for every network connected to it. When data is received, the router determines the correct path to the destination and thereby the suitable interface via which the data can be transferred. For this it uses a locally available routing table that specifies via which router connection a particular network can be reached. Security (WEP/WPA) WEP (wired equivalent privacy) is the standard encryption algorithm for WLAN. It controls both access to the network as well as ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of data. This procedure is seen as insecure nowadays. For this reason, more modern WLAN installations tend to use the more secure WPA encryption. V-Tuner Service provider that provides Internet radio stations. The Wi-Fi Alliance is an organisation that has taken on the task of certifying products from different manufacturers on the basis of the IEEE802.11 standard and thereby ensuring that different wireless devices can operate in parallel. On 31 October 2002, the consortium announced a new encryption technology – Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) – a part of the (then) forthcoming IEEE standard 802.11i which would replace the WEP encryption procedure which was already regarded as insecure before the new standard came into force. After 802.11i came into force, the Wi-Fi group coined the term WPA2. IEEE 802.11e is an industrial standard of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and a supplement to the wireless LAN standard IEEE 802.11 for supporting quality of service. 802.11e works according to a similar principle to the QoS procedure DiffServ. Data packages in the WLAN are marked by the sender and the access point is stopped in order to handle packages with higher priority. With the aid of 802.11e real-time applications such as Voice over IP are better supported as they require a certain bandwidth in the network so that the connection is not interrupted if other network traffic places too great a burden on the available data transfer rate.
