Connections and Setup
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 at the back, as well as 7 cm above it 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.
