your DVD player to rain or
Heed warnings
Follow all warnings on your DVD player and in
the operating and use instructions.
Water and moisture
Do not use your DVD player near water, for
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen
sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool.
Wall or ceiling mounting
Do not mount your DVD player to a wall or ceiling
unless it is recommended by the manufacturer.
Accessories
Use only attachments and accessories specified
by the manufacturer. Use the DVD player only
with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by Insignia or sold with the DVD pla yer .
When using a cart, use caution when moving the
cart and DVD player combination to avoid injury
from it tipping over.
Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom
are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable
operation of your DVD player, and to protect it
from overheating. These openings must not be
blocked or covered. Do not place the unit on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not
place the unit near or over a radiator or heat
source. Do not place your DVD player in a
built-in installati on such as a bookcase or rack
unless you provide correct ventilation or follow
the manufacturer's instructions.
Power source
Operate your DVD pla yer only from the type of
power source indicated on the rating plate
(located on the rear of the DVD player).
If you ar e no t su re o f th e ty pe o f p ower supp l y t o
your home, consult your DVD player dealer or
local power company.
Grounding and polarization
Your DVD player is equipped with a polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit 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
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet.
Instead of the polarized alternating-current line
plug, your DVD player may be equipped with a
3-wire grounding-type plug (a plug having a third
(grounding) pin). This plug will only fit into a
grounding-type power outlet. This too, is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the grounding-type plug.
Power cord protection
Route power supply cords so they are not likely
to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or
against them. Pay particular attention to cords at
plugs, wall outlet, and the point where they exit
from your DVD player.

Headphones
When you use the headphones, keep the
volume at a moderate level. If you use the
headphones continuously with high volume
sound, it may cause hearing damage.
Lightning
To protect your DVD player from a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall
outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to your DVD
player from lightning and power line surges.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords.
This can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Object and liquid entry
Do not push objects through any openings in
your DVD player because they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or
spray any type of liquid into your DVD player.
Damage requiring service
Do not attempt to service your DVD player
yourself. Opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Unplug your DVD player from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
• When the power supply cord or plug is
damaged.
• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen, into your DVD player.
• If your DVD player has been exposed to rain
or water.
• If your DVD player does not operate normally
by following the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions because an incorrect
adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work
by a qualified technician to restore your DVD
player to its normal operation.
• If your DVD player has been dropped or the
cabinet has been damaged.
• A distinct change in performance of your
DVD player indicates a need for service.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, make
sure that the service technician uses
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer
or those that have the same characteristics as
the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
Safety check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to
your DVD player, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that your
DVD player is in correct operating condition.
Heat
Locate your DVD pla y er aw ay from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
products (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
Disc slot
Keep your fingers clear of the disc slot as it is
closing. You may injure yourself.
Laser beam
Do not look into the ventilation opening or disc
slot opening of your DVD player to see the laser
beam source. It may cause sight damage.
Disc
Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired
disc. Discs are easily broken and may cause
serious personal injury and product malfunction.

equipment, which means that the DVD play er
has a double-insulation system.
