Please note the following points when setting up the Receiver/Player:

This Receiver/Player set is designed to play video and audio signals from compact discs (DVD and CD), and receiving Digital Television signals. Any other use is expressly prohibited.

If the Receiver/Player is subject to a sudden change in temperature, for example if 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 Receiver/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 water splashes.

Place the Receiver/Player on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects such as newspapers on the Receiver/Player or any cloth or similar articles underneath it.

Do not place the Receiver/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 Receiver/Player casing under any circumstances. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from improper handling.

Do not place any vessels such as vases on the Receiver/Player, as they may spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.

Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the Receiver/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 Receiver/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 Receiver/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 Receiver/Player is easily dissassembled to make servicing easier and optimise recycling.
