Some points to check before you connect your TV set

Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the identification
sticker located on the back of your appliance.

Install your appliance horizontally, away from any source of heat (fireplace) or appliances
generating strong magnetic or electric fields.The components of this appliance are sensitive to
heat.The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius.

Leave sufficient space around the appliance to allow adequate ventilation: 10 cm on either side
and above it, as well as 5 cm at the back are ideal.

The humidity of the room should not exceed 75%. If you have to use the appliance outdoors,
do not expose it to rain or splashing water.The appliance should not be exposed to dripping
or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on top of it.

Moving it from a cold environment to a warm one is likely to cause condensation on some
components inside the appliance. Let the condensation disappear of its own accord before
turning the appliance on again.

Before moving the player, make sure the disc tray is empty.

Other important information about using and cleaning your appliance is available at the end of the booklet.
