SETUP AND SAFETY
____________________________
This DVD player is designed to play back video and audio signals from
compact discs (DVDs and CDs).
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
If the DVD player is subject to a sudden change in temperature, for exam-
ple if it is brought in from the cold to a warm room, connect it to the mains
supply and let it stand for at least two hours before you insert a DVD.
The DVD player 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.
Place the DVD player on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects
such as newspapers on the DVD player, or any cloth or similar items un-
derneath it.
Do not place the DVD player directly on top of an AV receiver or a sub-
woofer. The laser optics are sensitive to temperature and shocks.
Do not place the DVD player close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as
this will impair cooling.
Do not insert foreign objects in the disc compartment of the DVD player.
Do not place any vessels filled with liquid, such as vases, on the DVD player,
as they may tip over and spill the liquid, which poses an electrical hazard.
Do not place any objects such as burning candles on the DVD player.
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the DVD player
is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always
remove the power plug during a thunder storm.
Always keep the disc compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting
on the laser optics.
Never open the DVD player casing under any circumstances. No warranty
claims are accepted for damage caused by improper handling.
When deciding where to put the DVD player, remember that furniture is
often coated with various types of varnish and plastic. Many of these con-
tain chemicals which can corrode the feet of the device, leaving marks on
the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove.
Do not use any cleaning agents as they may damage the housing. Clean
the DVD player with a clean dry cloth.
Note:
Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on. Switch
off the other equipment as well before connecting it.
Only plug the device into the mains socket after you have connected the
external devices.
