For safety reasons please read the following instructions and the enclosed Important Safety Information carefully before
attempting to connect your DVD player to the mains.
Warning
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
Caution
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
Caution
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Please
refer all servicing to a qualified engineer.
The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to
the presence of uninsulated 'dangerous voltage' within the product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
This product complies with European Low Voltage (73/23/EEC) and Electromagnetic Compatibility
(89/336/EEC) Directives when used according to this instruction manual.
Plug Fitting Instructions (UK only)
The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a 13A mains plug fitted with a 3A fuse inside. If it is necessary to
change the fuse, it is important that a 3A one is used.
If the plug needs to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions below.
The plug must then be disposed of safely, as insertion into a 13A socket is likely to
cause an electrical hazard. Should it be necessary to fit a 3-pin BS mains plug to
the power cord the wires should be fitted as shown in this diagram.
The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with
the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug. Connect them as
follows:-
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter 'N' or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter 'L' or coloured RED.
Note
If a 13 Amp (BS 1363) type of plug is used a 3 Amp or 5 Amp fuse must be fitted,
either in the plug or adaptor, or on the distribution board.

CHAPTER EDITING
Summary
For the recorded disc, each title often has one chapter. Discs like this neither perform chapter selection playback, nor

When you are using a DVD+RW disc and the system is not in the mode of writing or erasing a disc, pressing the [EDIT]
button can enter the chapter editing mode and display the chapter editing control bar.
Notes
If "INVALID" appears when you press the [EDIT] button, it may indicate that the DVD+RW disc in the loader has been
write protected, or the system in current the mode can not enter the editing mode. You can perform the disc operation
to cancel the write protect or exit current mode.
