Precautions
• Safety
The TV/DVD’s components are sensitive to heat.The
maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35°
Celsius. Do not cover the vents at the back or top of the
TV/DVD. Leave sufficient space around it to allow adequate
ventilation.
Moisture in rooms where the set is installed should not
exceed 85% humidity. If you have to use the TV/DVD
outdoors, do not expose it to water from rain or splashing.
Moving it from a cold atmosphere into a warm one can cause
condensation on the screen (and on some components
inside the TV/DVD). Leave the condensation to evaporate
before turning the TV/DVD on again.
If you are away for a long period, remove the plug from the
mains supply socket.
During thunder storms, we recommend that you
disconnect the TV/DVD from the mains and aerial so that it
is not affected by electrical or electromagnetic surges that
could damage it. For this reason, keep the mains socket and
aerial socket accessible so they can be disconnected.
Immediately disconnect the TV/DVD if you notice it giving
off a smell of burning or smoke.You must never under any
circumstances open the TV/DVD yourself. You risk
electrocution if you do so.
• Care
Clean the screen with a glass care cleaner and the rest of the
set with a soft cloth and neutral detergent. Regularly dust the
vents at the back and sides. Using solvents, abrasive or
alcohol based products risks damaging the TV/DVD.
Caution: the screen of your LCD TV/DVD may be damaged
if is cleaned with strong detergents, alcohol or abrasive
products.
• Copy protection
In accordance with the DVD standard, your TV/DVD is
equipped with a Copy Protection Device, which can be
triggered on and off by the DVD disc itself, in order to make
any recording of the concerned DVD disc onto a videotape
of very poor picture quality, or even impossible.
