Environmental Information

Your system consists of materials which can be recycled
and reused if disassembled by a specialized company. Please
observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of
packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Safety Information

Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand
or heat sources.

Place the player on a firm, flat surface.

Keep the player away from domestic heating equipment
and direct sunlight.

In a cabinet, allow about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space all
around the player for adequate ventilation.

If the DVD Video player cannot read CDs/DVDs correctly,
use a commonly available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the
lens before taking the DVD Video player to be repaired.
Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep
the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

The lens may cloud over when the DVD Video player is
suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a
CD/DVD is not possible then. Leave the power on for
about one hour with no disc in the unit until normal
playback is possible.

Cleaning Discs

When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the centre out, in a straight line.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog
discs.
