Precautions
Safety
 If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and 
have it checked by qualified personnel before 
operating it any further.
 The unit is not disconnected from the AC power 
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall 
outlet (mains), even if the unit itself has been turned 
off.
 Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not 
intend to use it for an extended period of time. To 
disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by 
the cord.
Installing
 Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal 
heat buildup.
 Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) 
or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block 
the ventilation slots.
 Do not install the unit near heat sources such as 
radiators, or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct 
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or 
shock.
 Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is 
designed to be operated in a horizontal position only. Keep the unit and discs away from equipment with 
strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large 
loudspeakers.
 Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
 If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm 
location, moisture may condense inside the DVD 
Home Theatre System and cause damage to the 
lenses. When you first install the unit, or when you 
move it from a cold to a warm location, wait for about 
30 minutes before operating the unit.
