TO MINIMISE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK,DO NOT

EXPOSE DEVICE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. DO NOT OPEN THE

HOUSING AS IT CONTAINS DANGEROUS VOLTAGE. ONLY

SKILLED TECHNICIANS ARE ALLOWED TO CARRY OUT REPAIR

AND SERVICE.

If the power cord plug is to be replaced, it is important that the

replacement is identical to the plug to be replaced, or that the new plug

has been recommended by the manufacturer.

A triangle with a lightning symbol draws the user's

attention to “dangerous voltage” without insulation

in the housing which may be high enough to entail

a risk of electric shock.

A triangle with an exclamation mark draws the

user's attention to important instructions for use

and maintenance in the accompanying manual

which should be studied.

TO AVOID THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, IT IS IMPORTANT TO

INSERT THE PLUG CORRECTLY INTO THE SOCKET.

This DVD player includes a laser system.

Symbol for Class II (double insulation).

There is a risk of dangerous radiation from the laser beam if buttons,

controls and procedures are not used or carried out as described in

this manual. To avoid contact with the laser beam, do not open the

device.
