To ensure that this high-quality, easy-to-use DVD player provides you with
lasting satisfaction and enjoyment, please observe the following instructions
when setting it up:
This DVD player set is designed to play video and audio signals from compact
discs (DVD and CD).
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
If the DVD player is subject to sudden changes in temperature, for example if it
is brought in from the cold to a warm room, connect it to the mains supply and
let it stand for at least two hours before you insert a DVD.
The DVD player is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it in the open,
please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or lawn sprinklers.
Place the DVD player on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects such as
newspapers on the DVD player or any cloth or similar articles underneath it.
Do not place the DVD player close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this
will impair cooling.
Do not insert foreign objects in the air vents or the disc compartment.
Never open the DVD player casing under any circumstances. The manufacturer
accepts no liability for damage resulting from improper handling.
Do not place any containers filled with liquids (such as vases) on the DVD
player. The container could fall over and the liquid may present an electrical
safety risk.

SET-UP AND SAFETY
_________________________________________________________________
Thunderstorms present a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the DVD player
is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always
remove the mains plug during an electrical storm.
If the DVD player is unable to scan DVDs or CDs perfectly, use a standard
commercial cleaning CD to clean the laser optics. Other cleaning methods may
damage the laser optics.
Always keep the disc compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on the
laser optics.
This DVD player is designed to the highest technological and environmental
standards. Only ecologically compatible, high quality materials have been
used. The batteries included are free of mercury and cadmium.
The range of materials used has been deliberately restricted and all the larger
plastic parts have been labelled. This means that the DVD player is easily
disassembled to make servicing easier and optimise recycling.

DVD and Video CD features
You can recognise DVDs and video CDs by their labels, which are shown here.
Depending on the contents the DVD or video CD (films, music videos etc.), they
may carry one or more titles.
Each title may contain one or more chapters. Titles and chapters can be selected
easily and comfortably.
You can control and direct playback of a DVD or video CD using the menu of
the DVD player on the television screen.
Special features of DVDs
DVDs may contain titles and passages which have been arranged in fixed order
by the manufacturer. You can also select individual titles and passages and then
play them back.
DVDs have a title menu which provides an overview of the titles available and
the passages they contain.
Some of the DVD player’s functions, such as slow motion, freeze-frame and
auto-play, can also be controlled by the DVD itself. It is therefore possible that
the freeze-frame function, for example, cannot be selected during certain
scenes.
Many DVDs have audio tracks recorded in up to eight languages.
This enables you to select the language you prefer.
Many DVDs are recorded by the manufacturer with subtitles in several languages.
You can select subtitle superimposition from up to 32 different languages.
Since films are released in different parts of the world at different times, all DVD
players world-wide are given a regional code. Your DVD player is designed for
region code 2.
DVDs can also be given a supplementary regional code. If you insert a DVD
with different code to that of the DVD player, a reference to the regional code
appears on the television screen. The DVD player will not be able to play back
the DVD.
