Precautions
Use
• If your unit has been stored in a cool place for any
length of time, during a journey for example, wait
for about 2 hours before using it.
•
The openings located on the top and
bottom are for ventilation and must not be
obstructed.
• During thunderstorms, we recommend that you
isolate the unit from the electrical supply so that
it is not damaged by electrical or electromagnetic
surges.
• This unit is designed for continuous use.
Switching
off the unit to standby mode does
not disconnect it from the mains supply. To
completely isolate the equipment, remove the
plug from the mains jack as some components
remain connected to the electrical supply.
• If you notice any burning or smoke, disconnect
the unit immediately to avoid any risk of
electrocution.
• Do not attempt to look inside the unit through the
disk tray opening or any other opening. You may be
electrocuted or exposed to laser radiation.
• This unit is for domestic use only and must not be
used for industrial purposes.
• Total or partial copying of recordings protected by
copyright legislation, without the explicit permission
of the holder of the rights, contravenes current
legislation. Copying or downloading music fi les for
sale or any other business purpose constitutes or
could constitute a violation of copyright law.
Cleaning
• Use a soft, dry, clean cloth. Regularly dust the
vents at the back or sides.
• Using solvents, abrasive or alcohol-based prod-
ucts risks damaging the unit.
• If an object or liquid enters inside the unit, un-
plug it immediately and have it checked by an

Additional Information
Handling and Caring for Discs
• Handle your discs with care. Hold the disc with
your fi ngers at the edges or through the hole.
• Insert the disc with the label facing up (for a sin-
gle-sided disc).
• Place the disc properly into the tray in the allot-
ted holder.
• Use a soft cloth to clean discs if necessary, always
wiping from the centre to the edge.
• Always put discs back in their cases after use and
store in a vertical position.
• Do not close the tray with two discs in it or with a
disc not sitting correctly in the holder.
• Do not play cracked, chipped or warped discs nor
try to repair them with adhesive tape or glue.
• Do not write on a disc.
• Do not move the unit when a disc is being
played.
• Do not scratch discs or store them in places ex-
posed to direct sunlight, high humidity or high
temperatures.
• Do not use aerosol cleaners, benzene, anti-static
liquids or any other solvent for cleaning discs.
When cleaning, wipe gently with a soft damp
(water only) cloth from the centre to the edge,
avoiding circular motions, which could cause
scratches and interference during playback.
Compatible Formats
In order to ensure playback, discs must conform
with BD, DVD or CD standards. This unit may not
play some recordings or fi les due to diff erences in
recording formats, software used and disc types.

commercially produced discs and are available in the
same capacities as BD below. Other than conventional
movie and video contents, these discs have enhanced
features such as interactive content, menu operations
