Important safeguards
Warning
Caution
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover or
back. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified
service personnel.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose your DVD
combo to rain or moisture.
To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade on the power cord
plug to the wide slot on an electric outlet. If the plug does not fit,
consult a licensed electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
modify the power cord plug, or you will defeat this safety feature.
This symbol indicates that dangerous voltage constituting a risk of
electric shock is present within your DVD combo. This label is
located on the back of your DVD combo.
This symbol indicates that there are important operating and
maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying your DVD
combo.

Location
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your DVD combo,
keep the following in mind when selecting a place for its installation:
• Shield your DVD combo from direct sunlight and keep it away
from sources of intense heat.
• Avoid dusty or humid places.
• Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for correct heat
dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes at the top and
bottom of your DVD combo. Do not place your DVD combo on
a carpet or other soft surface because this will block the
ventilation holes.
• Install your DVD combo in a horizontal position.
• Avoid locations subject to strong vibration.
• Do not place your DVD combo near strong magnetic fields.
• Avoid moving your DVD combo to locations where temperature
differences are extreme.
• Make sure that you remove the disc and unplug the AC power
cord from the outlet before moving your DVD combo.
Avoiding electrical shock and fire hazards
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
• Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it from an
AC power outlet. Grasp the cord by the plug.
• If water is spilled on your DVD combo, unplug the power cord
immediately and consult qualified service personnel.
• Do not put your fingers or objects into the disc loading tray.
• Do not place anything directly on top of your DVD combo.
Moisture
Condensation may occur inside your DVD combo when you move it
from a cold place to a warm place, after heating a cold room, or under
conditions of high humidity. If you play a videotape or DVD when your
DVD combo has condensation, the moisture may damage the
videotape, disc, or your DVD combo. When condensation occurs
inside your DVD combo, turn on your DVD combo and leave it on for
at least two hours to dry out before inserting a videotape or disc.
Recycling
Do not throw away or incinerate batteries. Dispose of batteries in
accordance with your local regulations concerning chemical wastes.

Read instructions
Read all the safety and operating instructions before you use your
DVD combo.
Retain instructions
Retain safety and operating instructions for future reference.
Follow warnings and instructions
Follow all warnings on your DVD combo and in the operating
instructions. Follow all operating and use instructions.
Cleaning
Unplug your DVD combo from the power outlet before cleaning. Do
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for
cleaning.
Exception: A product that is meant for uninterrupted service and,
that for some specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an
authorization code for a CATV converter, is not intended to be
unplugged for cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the
instruction to unplug your DVD combo.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by Insignia because they
may cause hazards.
Water and moisture
Do not use your DVD combo near water. For example, do not use it
near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool.

Accessories
Do not place your DVD combo on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. Your DVD combo may fall, causing serious personal
injury and serious damage to your DVD combo. Use only with a cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or
sold with your DVD combo. If you mount your DVD combo to the wall,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer. Your DVD combo and cart
combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may cause your DVD combo and cart
combination to overturn.
Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are
provided for ventilation, reliable operation, and protection from
overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Do not
block the openings by placing your DVD combo on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. Do not place your DVD combo near or over a
radiator or heat register. Do not place your DVD combo in a built-in
installation, such as a bookcase or rack, unless you provide correct
ventilation or follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Power source
Your DVD combo should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of what type
power is supplied to your home, consult your DVD combo dealer or
local power company.
Grounding or polarization
Your DVD combo is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug fits 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 does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
Power cord protection
Route power cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention
to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from your DVD combo.

Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your DVD
combo, make sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.
70, provides information with respect to correct grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of the
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.

Note to CATV system installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention
to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for correct
grounding and in particular, specifies that the cable ground must be
connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the
point of cable entry as practical.
Lightning
For added protection for your DVD combo’s receiver during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the power outlet and disconnect the antenna or
cable system. This helps prevent damage to your DVD combo from
lightning and power line surges.
www.insignia-products.com
5
Power lines
Do not locate an outside antenna system near overhead power lines
or other electric light or power circuits or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
use extreme care to keep from touching such power lines or circuits
because contact with them might be fatal.
Overloading
Do not overload power outlets and extension cords because this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Object and liquid entry
Never push objects of any kind into your DVD combo through
openings because objects may touch dangerous voltage points or
short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on your DVD combo.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service your DVD combo yourself because opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Damage requiring service
Unplug this unit from the power outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into your DVD
combo.
• If your DVD combo has been exposed to rain or water.
• If your DVD combo does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions because incorrect
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
your DVD combo to its normal operation.
• If your DVD combo has been dropped or damaged in any way.
• When your DVD combo exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, make sure that the service
technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that
have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, personal injury, or other
hazards.
Safety check
After completing any service or repair to this unit, ask the service
technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that your
DVD combo is in correct operating condition.
