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.
