yIf you record a disc using a personal

computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

yThis player requires discs and recordings to

meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality.

yPre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to

these standards. There are many dierent types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA les) and these require certain pre-existing conditions to ensure compatible playback.

Caution

yBe careful to make sure children not to put

their hands or any objects into the *speaker duct. *Speaker duct: A hole for plentiful bass sound on speaker cabinet (enclosure).

yPlace the center speaker at a safe distance

from the child’s reach. Otherwise it may result in the speaker falling down and causing personal injury and/or property damage.

yThe speakers contain magnetic parts, so

colour irregularity may occur on the CRT TV screen or PC monitor screen. Please use the speakers away from the TV screen or PC monitor screen.

yBefore using the subwoofer, remove the

protective vinyl.
