Power cord

Warning

We recommend that most appliances be placed upon a
dedicated circuit—a single outlet circuit which powers only that
appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits.
Check the specification page of this manual for power
requirements.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or
damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or
damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of
these conditions could result in electric shock or fire.

Periodically examine the portable DVD player cord, and if its
appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it,
discontinue use of the portable DVD player, and have the cord
replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized
service provider.

Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse,
such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or
walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and
the point where the cord exits the portable DVD player.

To disconnect power from the outlet, pull out the plug. When
installing the portable DVD player, make sure that the plug is
easily accessible.

Important safety instructions

Warning

Read and observe all warnings and instructions in this manual
and those marked on the portable DVD player. Retain this
manual for future reference.

This portable DVD player has been designed and
manufactured to assure personal safety. Improper use can
result in electric shock or fire hazard. The safeguards
incorporated in this portable DVD player will protect you if you
observe the following procedures for installation, use, and
servicing. This portable DVD player does not contain any parts
that can be repaired by you.

Do not remove the case or you may be exposed to dangerous
voltage. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel only.

kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement,
near a swimming pool, and other areas
located near water.

• Clean only with a lightly dampened cloth.
Unplug this portable DVD player from the wall
outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid
cleaners.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install
in accordance with these instructions. Slots
and openings in the case are provided for
ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the
portable DVD player, and to protect it from
over-heating. The openings should never be
blocked by placing the portable DVD player
on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
This portable DVD player should not be
placed in a built-in installation such as a
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided or these instructions have been
adhered to.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
electronic devices (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.

• If the portable DVD player is brought directly
from a cold to a warm location, moisture may
condense inside the player. When you move
it from a cold to a warm location, wait for
about one hour before operating the player,
or remove the disc and leave the player
turned on until the moisture evaporates.

• 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.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched particularly at plugs, receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the
portable DVD player.

• Use only attachments or accessories
specified by Insignia.

• Unplug this portable DVD player during
lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.

• Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel. Servicing is required when the
portable DVD player 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 portable DVD player, the
portable DVD player has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally,
or has been dropped.

• It is hazardous to replace the battery
incorrectly. Replace the battery only with the
same or equivalent type, in order to protect
the environment, dispose of the battery
properly. Do not use the player in
temperatures higher than 95 degrees
Fahrenheit or 35 degrees Celsius.

• Do not use irregularly shaped discs such as
heart or star-shaped discs as they may cause
the player to malfunction. Do not stick paper,
tape, or glue on the disc. Do not expose the
disc to direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not
touch the surface of disc. Handle the disc by
its edge. Clean the disc by wiping the disc
from the center out with a cleaning cloth.
Remove the disc from the player and store it
in its case after playing. Some playback
operations of discs may be intentionally fixed
by software producers. Because this player
plays discs according to the disc contents the
software producers designed, some playback
features may not be available. Also refer to
the instructions supplied with the discs.

Setting up your portable DVD player

Installing the rechargeable battery pack

Your player uses a long-life Ni-Mh battery pack
for a portable power supply. Ni-Mh batteries
feature high storage capacity.

Note

Charge the battery for at least eight hours prior to first use.

To charge the battery pack:
1 Connect the AC to DC adapter to your DVD

player.

Note

Make sure you use the AC to DC adapter included
with the player to recharge your battery. The
cigarette adapter cannot be used to recharge the
battery.

2 Slide the POWER switch to the OFF position.

To install the battery pack:
1 Slide the POWER switch to the OFF position.

2 Disconnect the AC to DC adapter from your

DVD player.

3 Close the LCD panel. 4 Slide the battery into the back of your player

snugly to the player.

To remove the battery pack:
1 Slide the POWER switch to the OFF position.

2 Disconnect the AC to DC adapter from your

DVD player.

3 Press the button on the side of the battery.

4 Pull the battery out of the back of your player.

Installing your player in an automobile

If you plan not to use the battery for an extended
period of time (one week or longer), we
recommend that you fully charge the battery,
then remove and store it. For longer periods of
storage, recharge the battery at least once every
two months to maintain the battery in optimum
condition. Under no circumstances should you
short the battery terminals, store the battery in a
metal container, or leave the battery in a humid
or damp environment. Store the battery in an
airtight container with desiccant or another
dehumidifying agent. Each full recharge takes
approximately five-hours. One full charge can
provide power to the player for at least 2.5 hours.

During recharge, the red battery recharge
indicator on the right side of the player stays on.
Once fully recharged, the indicator turns off. At
this point you may disconnect the wall plug and
stop charging the battery.

Precautions related to recharging the battery:

• After the battery is fully discharged,
immediately recharge it (even if you plan to
not use your battery) in order to maximize
battery life.

• Remove the battery from the player and store
it correctly if the player is not to be used for
long time. During this period, recharge the
battery at least once every two months to
avoid irreparable damage to the battery.

To install your player in an automobile:
1 Plug one end of the cigarette lighter adapter

into the DC input jack on the DVD player.

2 Plug the other end of the cigarette lighter

adapter into your automobile’s cigarette
lighter socket.

Installing your player in your home

To install your player in your home:
1 Plug one end of the AC to DC adapter into

the DC input jack on the side of the DVD
player.

2 Plug the other end of the AC to DC adapter

into a 100~240V AC power receptacle.

Maintaining

Cleaning the player

Caution

Never use caustic cleaners. Solvents, spirits, paint thinners, or
similar cleaning fluids may damage the case.

To clean the case: 1 Disconnect the player from the outlet.

2 Use a moist cloth or a disposable plastics

cleaner cloth to wipe the case clean.

DVD player tips

To protect the mechanism from dust, always
keep the DVD compartment closed when the
DVD player is not in use.

Over the course of time, dust may build up on
the optical components or a thin, barely visible
