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 (7.5~10 cm). 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 tray is empty. This player is designed for 
continuous use. Switching off the DVD player 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.
Condensation may occur if your player or disc has been 
stored in cold temperatures. If transporting the player   
during the winter, wait approxi
mately 2 hours until the unit 
has reached room temperature before using.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat 
sources. This could lead to overheating and malfunction 
of the unit. 
The batteries used with this product contain chemicals 
that are harmful to the environment. 
Do not dispose of batteries in the general household 
trash.
