PRECAUTIONS
Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identification sticker located on the back of your player. Install your 
player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (3~4 inches). Make sure the ventilation slots 
are not covered. Do not stack anything 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 Insert Hole is empty. This player is designed for continuous use. Switching off 
the Blu-ray Home Theater to the stand-by mode does not disconnect the electrical supply. In order to disconnect the player 
completely from the power supply, remove the main plug from the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.
During thunderstorms, disconnect the AC main plug from the 
wall outlet. Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.
Protect the player from moisture (i.e. vases) , and excess heat 
(e.g.fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields 
(i.e.speakers...). Disconnect the power cable from the AC supply if the 
player malfunctions. Your player is not intended for industrial use. Use of 
this product is for personal use only.

cold temperatures. If transporting the player during the winter, 
wait approximately 2 hours until the unit has reached room temperature before using.
