11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION

This product is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION

PRECAUTIONS

NOTES ON HANDLING:

• When shipping the DVD player, always use the original shipping carton and packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the DVD player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the DVD player for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

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

• When the DVD player is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and turn off the power.

• If you do not use the DVD player for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the DVD player occasionally.

NOTES ON LOCATING THE DVD PLAYER:

• When you place this DVD player near a TV, radio or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, move the DVD player away from the TV, radio or VCR.

NOTES ON CLEANING: Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

• For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner or benzene, as they may damage the surface of the DVD player.

• If you use a chemical-saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that product’s instructions.

Warning: Cleaning and adjustment of lenses and/or other components of playback mechanism should be performed by a qualified service technician.

TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE:

The DVD player is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

NOTES ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION: Moisture condensation damages the DVD

player. Please read the following carefully.

• Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical pickup lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the DVD player.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases:

• When you bring the DVD player directly from a cold place to a warm place.

• When you use the DVD player in a room where you just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

• In summer, when you use the DVD player in a hot and humid place just after you moved the unit from an air conditioned room.

• When you use the DVD player in a humid place.

Do not use the DVD player when moisture condensation may occur.

• If you use the DVD player in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the DVD player to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD player and leave it “ON” for two or three hours. After two or three hours, the DVD player will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD player connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.

GETTING STARTED

AC CONNECTION

Insert the small end of the AC adapter into the DC IN jack on the side of the unit. Insert the other end (with the 2 blades) into a conveniently located AC outlet having 120 VAC, 60Hz.

NOTES:

• Use the enclosed AC adapter for this product only.

• Remove both DC plug and AC-IN plug to disconnect the AC adapter when not using.

BATTERY PACK

The battery pack cannot be removed, it is built into the unit.

BATTERY INDICATOR

When using the rechargeable battery, the LOW BATTERY indicator will blink when the battery pack is low and needs recharging. When it blinks, you have approximately five minutes of playing time left.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

Insert the small end of the AC adapter into the DC IN jack on the side of the unit and turn the unit off for best results. Insert the other end (with the 2 blades) into a conveniently located AC outlet having 120V AC, 60Hz. The CHARGING indicator will light red as the battery is charging and the FULL indicator will light green when charging has completed. Disconnect the AC adapter plugs when the charging has finished.

NOTES:

• Fully charge the built-in NiMH battery pack (10-15 hours) before using it for the first

time.

• It is highly recommended to turn the unit off when recharging the batteries.

• This Ni-MH rechargeable battery will not be fully charged the first time, so the

discharging time will be short. The battery will take a full charge after four to five times of charging or discharging. After a period of storage or if not used for a period, repeat the above mentioned

•

steps to get the battery back to normal charging condition.

THIS UNIT CONTAINS NIMH BATTERY PACK; DISPOSE THIS UNIT PROPERLY.

GETTING STARTED (CONTINUED)

USING THE CAR ADAPTER (OPTIONAL)

Plug the small end of the car adapter into the DC IN jack and then plug the other end into the car cigarette lighter socket.

CAUTION: To reduce risk of damage to cigarette lighter connectors and cord, pull by cigarette lighter connector rather then cord when disconnecting charger.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Caring for Discs

• Treat the disc carefully. Handle the disc only by its edges. Never allow your ﬁngers to come in contact with the shiny, unprinted side of the disc.

• Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the disc label.

• Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.

• If a disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).

• When cleaning the disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the disc to the outer edge of the disc. Never wipe in circular motions.

• Discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid damage.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures or dust, etc. Prolonged exposure or extreme temperatures can warp the disc.

• Do not stick or write anything on either side of the disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the ink, may damage the surface.

Cleaning the Unit

• To prevent ﬁre or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when cleaning.

• The ﬁnish on your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture. Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.

• Mild soap and a damp cloth may be used on the front panel.
