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 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 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 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 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.

Compatible Formats

In order to ensure playback, discs must

conform with DVD and CD standards. This

unit may not play some recordings or files due

to differences in recording formats, software

used and disc types.
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
Most DVD-R (one recording only)

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.
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).
However, depending on the condition of the

CD-writer, computer and the disc used, you

may find that not all discs will play. When

playing a CD-R disc, it is normal for the unit

to take up to 20 seconds to recognize the disc

before starting to play.

If the disc is not recognized after a period of 20

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 files
CD-R and CD-RW with JPEG files. Certain JPEG

files, including progressive JPEG files, cannot

be read by this unit.
The total number of files and folders on the

disc should be less than 650. Make sure that

files have the “.jpg” extension. Files without

the “.jpg” extension will not be able to be

read by the unit — even though the files are
shown as JPEG images on your computer.
