9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized

plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,

convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. 12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the

manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for

long periods of time.

14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the

apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this device to rain, moisture,

dripping, or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on it.

16 An apparatus with a three-prong, grounding-type plug is a Class I apparatus, which

needs to be grounded to prevent possible electric shock. Make sure that you connect this Class I device to a grounding-type, three-prong outlet.

17 The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The plug must remain readily operable. 18 Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like.

Caution: Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the

same or equivalent type.

Introduction

To ensure correct use of your player, read this owner’s manual carefully and retain for future reference.

About the symbol

The symbol may appear on your TV display during operation and indicates that the function is not permitted by your player or specific media.

Notes:

• Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (for example, heart-shaped or octagonal). Doing so may result in malfunctions.

• Depend ing on the recording soft ware and the fina lization, some recorded d iscs (CD -R/ RW or DVD±R/RW) may not be playable.

• DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty or if there is dirt or condensation on your player’s lens.

• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

• Your player requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files), and these require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.

• You should note that permission is required in order to download MP3 or WMA files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.

Regional code

Your player has a regional code (1) printed on the back of the case. Your player can play only DVDs labeled with the same regional code (1) or ALL.

Notes:

• Most DVDs have a globe with one or more numbers in it clearly visible on the cover. This number must match your player’s regional code or the DVD cannot play.

• If you try to play a DVD with a different regional code from your player, the message “Check Regional Code” appears on the TV screen.

Disposal of your old appliance

1. When this crossed-out wheeled bin symbol is attached to a product, it means the product is covered by the European Directive 2002/96/EC.

2. All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the government or the local authorities.

3. The correct disposal of your old appliance will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health.

4. For more detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please contact your city office, waste disposal service, or the shop where you purchased the product.

Other considerations

Notes:

• The top and rear panels of your player may become warm after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.

• When your player is not in use, make sure that you remove the disc and turn off the power.

• If you do not use your player for an extended period, it may not function correctly. Turn on your player and use it occasionally.

• Do not place foreign objects in the disc tray.

• If you place your player near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In that case, place the player away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

• If the pickup on your player has moisture condensation, the player may not operate correctly. If this is the case, remove the disc and leave it on for two or three hours. That will allow the player to warm up and evaporate any moisture. If you leave the player plugged in, moisture condensation will seldom occur.
