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 

products risks damaging the unit. 

•  If an object or liquid enters inside the unit, 

unplug it immediately and have it checked by 
an authorized servicer or service center.

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 

single-sided disc).

•  Place the disc properly into the tray in the 

allotted 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 

exposed 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.

DVD-Video

Digital video discs - 12 cm, single or double sided, 
single or dual layer. DVDs are high density optical 
discs on which high quality picture and audio are 
recorded by means of digital signals. 

DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW

Most DVD-R and DVD+R (one recording 
only), DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs 
(rewritable), depending on the DVD 
writer and discs used. Recordings using 
DVD-R and DVD-RW discs must be made 
in Video DVD mode. Recordings using 
DVD+RW discs must be made in accordance with 
the specifi cations for DVD+RW discs with a 4.7 GB 
capacity.

Audio CDs

Audio CDs (12 cm).

CD-R, CD-RW

Most CD-R (one recording only) and 
CD-RW discs (rewritable).

CD-Rs written during a multisession recording can be 
played, provided that the session has ended before 
the disc is played (depending on the write software).

Compatible Formats

In order to ensure playback, discs must conform 
with DVD or CD standards. This unit may not play 
some recordings or fi les due to differences in 
recording formats, software used and disc types.

However, depending on the condition of the 
CD-writer, computer and the disc used, you may 
fi nd that not all discs will play. When playing a 
CD-R disc, it is normal for the unit to take up to 
60 seconds to recognize the disc before starting 
to play.
If the disc is not recognized after a period of 120 
seconds, remove the disc, and insert it again.

•   Do not use its full capacity.
•   CD-Rs should be preferably used instead of 

CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain cases, 
CD-RW playback may be faulty.

•   Use reliable, good-quality CD write software.
•   Close all other applications on the computer to 

ensure reliable CD-R disc recording.

Jpeg fi les

CD-R and CD-RW with jpeg fi les. Certain jpeg 
fi les, in cluding progressive jpeg fi les, cannot be 
read by this unit.
The total number of fi les and folders on the disc

than conventional Dolby Surround. This unit is 
equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel so that 
you can enjoy enhanced full digital surround 
sound. The new system provides stereo separation 
of the rear speakers (Rear-Right, Rear-Left). Adding

channels that bring you the most sophisticated 
Dolby Digital sound enjoyment.
