The mains lead on this equipment may be supplied with a moulded plug inc\
orporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on
the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS1362 fuse must be used of the same
rating. If the fuse cover is detachable never use the plug with the cove\
r omitted.  If a replacement fuse cover is required, en sure
it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fu\
se covers are available from your dealer.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is\
 not suitable for the power points in your home or the  cable is too
short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved\
 extension lead or consult your dealer.
Should it be necessary to change the mains plug, this must be carried ou\
t by a competent person, preferably a qualified electri cian.
If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that yo\
u dispose of it immediately, having first removed the f use, to avoid
a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
IMPORTANT
As these colour may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying \
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire coloured WHITE must be connected to the terminal marked with th\
e letter  FL. The wire coloured RED must be

• DON T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way-switch
off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
• DON T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
• DON T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended
operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows how to
do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

Used correctly, domestic batteries are a safe and dependable source of
portable power. Problems can occur if they are misused or abused -
resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, fire or explosion.
Here are some simple guidelines to safe battery use designed to eliminate
any such problems.
PLEASE PHOTOCOPY AND DISPLAY
Take care to fit your batteries
correctly,observing the plus and
minus marks on the battery and
appliance. Incorrect fitting can cause
leakage or in extreme cases, fire or
even an explosion.
ALWAYS
Replace the whole set of batteries at
one  time,taking care not to mix old
and new batteries or batteries of
different types, since this can result in
leakage or in extreme cases, fire or
even an explosion.
ALWAYS
Store unused batteries in their
packaging and away from  metal
objects which may cause a short-
circuit resulting in leakage or, in
extreme cases, fire or even an
explosion.
ALWAYS
Remove dead batteries from
equipment and all batteries from
equipment you know you are not
going to use for a long time.Otherwise
the batteries may leak and cause
damage.
ALWAYS
Never dispose of batteries in fire as
this can cause them to explode.
Please put dead batteries in with the
normal household waste.
NEVER
Supervise children if they are replacing
batteries themselves in order to ensure
these guidelines are followed.
ALWAYS
Never attempt to recharge ordinary
batteries, either in a charger or by
applying heat to them. They may leak
cause fire or even explode. There are
special rechargeable batteries which
are clearly marked as such.
NEVER
Remember that small button cell
batteries such as used in some
hearing aids, toys, games and other
appliances, are easily swallowed by
young children and this can be
dangerous.
NEVER
Make sure battery compartments are
secure.
ALWAYS
Keep loose button cells away from
young children.
ALWAYS
Seek medical advice if you believe a
cell has been swallowed.

•Instructions in this manual describe the controls on the system. You can also use the controls on the remote control if they have
the same or similar names as those on the system.
•The types of functions and operations that can be used for a particular disc vary depending on the features of that disc. In some
cases, these functions and operations may differ from the descriptions given in this instruction Manual. In this event, follow the
instructions given on the screen. This instruction Manual only covers basic disc operations.
•For some operations, the       icon may appear on the screen. This indicates that the operation described in this instruction
Manual is not permitted for the current disc.
•The drawings about the TV screen and front panel display used in this instruction Manual are purely for the purposes of

Copy protection
This DVD player supports Macrovision copy protection.
On DVD discs that include a copy protection code, if the contents of the DVD disc are copied using a VCR, the copy protection code
prevents the videotape copy from playing normally.
Recommended Measures for Optimum Picture Excellence
This unit is a precision device that is constructed using extremely accurate technology.
Soiling or friction affecting the pickup lens or disc drive can impair the image quality. At the worst, neither video nor audio
