Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
This symbol indicates that dangerous
voltage constituting a risk of electric
shock is present within your DVD
player. This label is located on the back
of your DVD player.
This symbol indicates that there are
important operating and maintenance
instructions in the literature
accompanying your DVD player.
This symbol is the symbol for CLASS II
(Double Insulation).
WAR NI NG: Your DVD player employs a
laser system.
Use of controls, adjustments, or the
performance of procedures other than
those specified may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
Visible laser radiation is present when
open and interlocks defeated. Do not
stare into the beam.
1 Read these instructions.
2 Keep these instructions.
3 Heed all warnings.
4 Follow all instructions.
5 Do not use this apparatus near water.
6 Clean only with dry cloth.
7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
8 Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding type plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or
the third prong are provided for your safety. If
the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus.
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.
12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from
tip-over.
13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.
14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped.
15 The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The
plug must remain readily operable.
16 An apparatus with a three-prong,
grounding-type plug is a Class I apparatus,
which needs to be grounded to prevent
possible electric shock. Make sure that you
connect this DVD player to a grounding-type,
three-prong outlet.
17 The remote control battery should not be
exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire,
or the like.
18 The apparatus should not be exposed to
dripping or splashing, and no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the
apparatus.
War nings
Electric shock hazard
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
remove any cover or expose the device to rain or
moisture. No user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer
servicing to qualified service technicians.
Lightning
For added protection for your device receiver
during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the power outlet. This helps prevent
property damage and personal injury from
lightning and power line surges.
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 device,
ask the service technician to perform routine safety
checks to determine that your DVD player is in
correct operating condition.
Power source
Operate your DVD player only from the type of
power source indicated on the marking label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supplied to your
home, consult an electrician or your local power
company.
