Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fix new fuse whih should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or
BSI approved type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of
5 Amp If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distri-
bution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed off to avoid a possible
shock hazaed should it be inserted into a 13 amp socket else-
where.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following
code:
blue = neuteal (N)
Brown = live (L)
As these colours may not corresppond with the colour mark-
ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as fol-
lows:
- Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked n or coloured
black.
- Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or
coloured red.
- Do not connect either wire to the ear th terminal in hte
plug, marked E (or 
) or coloured green (or green and
yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make cer tain that the cord
grip is clampled over the sheath of the lead - not simply over
the two wires.

EnglishCare and safety information
Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and
dust.
– Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating
equipment or direct sunlight.)  Always keep the disc tray
closed to avoid dust on the lens.
Av oid condensation problem
–T he lens may cloud over when the player is suddenly
moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it
impossible to play a disc. Leave the player in the warm
environment until the moisture evaporates.
Do not block the vents
– Do not operate the DVD system in an enclosed
cabinet,  allow about 10 cm (4 inches) of free space all
around the player for adequate ventilation.
Care of disc
–T o clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line
from the center towards the edge using a soft,
lint-free cloth.  A cleaning agent may damage
the disc.
–Wr ite only on the printed side of a
CDR(W) and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.
– Handle the disc by its edge, do not touch the surface.
Care of cabinet
– Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits,
ammonia or abrasives.
Finding a suitable location
– Place the player on a flat, hard, and stable surface.
Step 1: Placing the speakers
and subwoofers
For best possible surround sound, all the speakers (exept
subwoofer) should be placed at the same distance from the
listening position.
1 Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances
from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees
from the listening position.
2 Place the centre speaker above the TV or the DVD system
so the centre channel’s sound is localized.
3 Place the surround speakers at normal listening ear level
facing each other.
4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV.
Notes:
–T o avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front
speakers too close to your TV.
–A llow adequate ventilation around the DVD system.
