recautions

Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the identification sticker located at the
back of your player. Install your player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for
ventilation (7-10 cm). Make sure the ventilation slots are not covered. Do not stack other, or heavy equipments on
top of the player. Do not place the player on amplifiers or other equipment which may become hot. Before moving
the player, ensure the disc tray is empty.
This player is designed for continuous use. Switching off the DVD player to the stand-by mode does not disconnect
the electricity supply. In order to separate the player completely from the mains, it has to be disconnected by
unplugging the mains plug, especially when left unused for a long period of time.

Condensation

If your player or a disc have been stored in a cold atmosphere, as for example during transportation in the winter,
wait for approximately 2 hours until they have reached room temperature.

Protect the player from moisture and excess heat (e.g. fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or
electric fields (i. e. speakers ...). Disconnect the power cable from the mains electricity supply if the player
malfunctions. Your player is not intended for industrial use but for domestic purposes only.
Use of this product is for personal use only. Copying CDs or downloading music files for sale or other business

Never open the player or any of its components. It can be dangerous for you or for certain fragile components.

Always handle your discs with care. Hold a disc with fingers on the border or hole.
Always place disc with the label facing upward (in case of a single-sided disc).
Always place the disc properly into the tray using the proper guide area.
Always use a soft cloth to clean discs if necessary, wipe from the centre to the border.
