for example, near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming
pool or the like.
8. Accessories - Do not place this unit on an unstable
cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The unit may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious
damage to the unit. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the unit. Any mounting of the
unit should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and
should use a mounting accessory recommended by
the manufacturer.
a. An appliance and cart combination should be
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of
the unit and to protect it from overheating. These
openings must not be blocked or covered. Never
place the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar

a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been
adhered to.
10. Power Sources - This unit should be operated only
from the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home consult your appliance dealer or
local power company. For units intended to be
operated from battery power, or other sources, refer to
the operating instructions.
11. Grounding or Polarization - This unit may be
equipped with either a polarized 2-wire AC line plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other) or a 3wire grounding plug having a third (grounding) pin.
The 2-wire polarized 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 still fails to fit, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
12. Power-cord Protection - Power-supply cords should
be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on

work by a qualified technician to restore the unit
to its normal operation.
e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has
been damaged.
f. When the unit exhibits a distinct change in
performance—this indicates a need for service.
18. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or
those having the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock or other hazards.

Care & Maintenance
For trouble free operation, follow these
handling, care and
cleaning instructions.
Handling Precautions
• Before connecting other components to this system, be
certain the system power and component power is off.
• Be certain that speaker connections are secure and not
shorted before turning on the system power.
• Lower the system volume before switching between the
DVD, VCR and AUX inputs and when changing discs.
• Do not move the system while a disc is being played to
prevent the disc from being scratched or broken, and to
prevent damage to the disc player’s internal parts.
• Do not set liquid filled objects or any small metal
objects on top of the system.
• Be careful not to place anything other than a disc in the
disc tray.
• Exterior interference such as lightning and static electricity may affect normal operation of this system. If this
occurs, turn the system off and on again with the
POWER button, or disconnect and then reconnect the
AC power cord to the AC power outlet. The system will
reset and should operate normally again.
• Be sure to remove the disc and put the system in
Standby after use.
• Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet when
you don’t intend to use the system for long periods of
time.
• Clean the disc by wiping in a straight line from the
inside to the outside of the disc.
Disc Storage
• Store all discs properly in their case or protective sleeve
and handle each disc carefully as the discs are susceptible to damage.
• Do not store discs in direct sunlight; keep discs in a cool
ventilated area.
• Do not stack discs. Store discs vertically on a shelf.
Maintenance of Cabinet
For safety reasons, be sure to disconnect the AC power
cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the cabinet.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents for
cleaning.
• Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.
Formation of Condensation
When the system is exposed to rapid temperature and
humidity changes, condensation may form if warm air
comes in contact with any cold parts inside the system.
• If condensation forms inside the system, the system may
not operate correctly. When this occurs, leave the
system at room temperature until the inside of system
becomes dry and operational.
• If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc with a
soft and dry cloth by moving the cloth from the center
hole toward the outer edge.
