shock or personal injury.
CAUTION:DVD PLAYERS USE AN INVISIBLE LASER BEAM WHICH CAN CAUSE
HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE IF DIRECTED.
BE SURE TO OPERATE PLAYER CORRECTLY AS INSTRUCTED.
CAUTION
To prevent electromagnetic interference with electric appliances, such as radios and televisions, use
shielded cables and connectors for connections.
CAUTIONS
Protect the unit from damp and excess heat. Disconnect the power cable from the mains electricity supply
when the unit malfunctions.
In particular, you should ensure that the motor driven disc drawer is not prevented from moving properly. If
the disc loading system is hindered, the loading mechanism may be damaged. Install the DVD player
horizontally, away from a source of heat (fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields.
• Do not place anything heavy on it.
• Do not stack components on it.
Inportant for United Kingdom
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is
indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved
BS1362 fuse must be used of the same rating.
If the fuse cover is detachable never use the plug with the cover omitted.
If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the
plug. Fuse covers are available from your dealer.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in
your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved
extension lead or consult your dealer. If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you
dispose of it immediately, having first removed the fuse to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadver tent
connection to the mains supply.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or
BLACK.The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured
BROWN or RED.
On no account connect either of these wires to the terminal marked E or by the earth symbol or
coloured green or green and yellow.
