Precautions

Use

• If your appliance 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 appliance from the
electrical supply so that it is not damaged
by electrical or electromagnetic surges.

• This appliance is designed for continuous

use. Putting the DVD player into standby
mode does not disconnect it from the
mains supply.To completely isolate the
equipment, remove the plug from the
mains socket as some components remain
connected to the electrical supply.

• If you notice any burning or smoke,

disconnect the appliance immediately to
avoid any risk of electrocution.

• Do not attempt to look inside the

appliance through the disk tray opening or
any other opening.You may be
electrocuted or exposed to laser
radiation.

• This appliance 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 files 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 appliance.

appliance, unplug it immediately and have it
checked by an authorised engineer.

Handling and caring for discs

• Handle your discs with care. Hold the disc

with your fingers 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 player 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.
