Care and Safety Information

English

DANGER!
High voltage! Do not open the
device. You run the risk of getting
an electric shock.

The machine does not contain any
user-serviceable parts. Please leave
all maintenance work to quali ed
personnel.

surface. Do not place the set on a
carpet.

– Do not put any equipment or heavy

objects on top of the set.

5cm (2.0")

10cm (4.0")

10cm (4.0")

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur because the disc
inside the player is dirty (frozen picture,
sound disruptions, picture distortions).
To avoid these problems, discs should be
cleaned on a regular basis.

To clean a disc, use a micro  bre cleaning
cloth and wipe the disc from the center
to the edge in a straight line.

CAUTION!

Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available cleaners,
or anti-static sprays intended for analog
discs. Since the optical unit (laser) of the
DVD player operates at a higher power
than regular DVD or CD players,
cleaning CDs intended for DVD or CD
players may damage the optical unit
(laser). Therefore, refrain from using a
cleaning CD.
