General Maintenance:
Be sure to turn the unit off and disconnect the AC power cord before doing any maintenance on the unit.

thoroughly, and then wipe again with a dry cloth.
Never use alcohol, benzine, thinners, cleaning fluids or other chemicals. Do not use compressed air to remove dust.
REGION CODING:
Since DVD movies are released at different times around the world, all DVD discs are “region coded” and will only play in a DVD player of
the same region. If you try and play a different region disc an error message will be displayed on the TV screen.
