uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart
combination to overturn.
10.
Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable
operation of the product and toprotect it from overheating,
andthese openings must not beblocked or covered. The openings should never
be blocked byplacing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such asa bookcase
or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or themanufacturer’s instructions
have been adhered to.
11.
Power Sources – This product should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For
products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
12.
Grounding or Polarization – This
product may be 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 theplug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.
13.
Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are
not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them,
paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the product.
Protective Attachment Plug – The product is equipped with an attachment plug
14.
having overload protection. This is a safety feature. See Instruction Manual for
replacement or resetting of protective device. If replacement of the plug is
required, be sure the service technician has used a replacement plug specified by
the manufacturer that has the same overload protection as the original plug.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is connected
15.
to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.
16.
Lightning – For added protection for this product during 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
the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
AC POLARIZED PLUG
17.
Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity
of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it
can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines
or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
18
Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
19.
Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
20.
Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
21.
Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet and

require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its
normal operation.
e.
If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f.
When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates
a need for service.
22.
Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer
or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
23.

Handling discs
When holding discs of any type, take care not to leave
fi ngerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold
the disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge.
Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback per for mance.
Ta ke care also not to scratch the label side of the disc.
Although not as fragile as the recorded side, scratches
can still result in a disc becoming unusable.
Should a disc become marked with fi ngerprints, dust,
etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly
from the center to the outside edge as shown in the
diagram below.
Wipe lightly from the
center of the disc using
straight strokes.
If necessary, use a cloth moistened in alcohol, or a
commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a
disc more thor ough ly. Never use benzene, thinner or
other cleaning agents, including products designed for
cleaning vinyl records.
Don’t wipe the disc surface
using circular strokes.
Storing discs
Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable than
vinyl records, you should still take care to handle and
store discs correctly. When you're not using a disc,
return it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs
in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (including
under direct sun light).
Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use
a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing
in stru ment. These could all damage the disc.
Discs to avoid
Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If you can see
that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise
damaged, don't risk using it in your play er. You could
end up dam ag ing the unit.
This unit is designed for use with conventional, fully
circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not rec om mend ed for this product.
Cleaning the pickup lens
The DVD player’s lens should not become dirty in normal
use, but if for some reason it should mal func tion due to
dust or dirt, consult your nearest MARANTZ-authorized
service center. Al though lens cleaners for CD players
are com mer cial ly available, we do not recommend using
them since some may damage the lens.
Problems with condensation
Condensation may form inside the player if it is brought
into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of
the room rises quickly. Although the condensation won’
t damage the player, it may tem po rari ly impair its per for mance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust
to the warmer tem per a ture for about an hour before
switching on and using it.
English
For more detailed care information, see the in struc tions
that come with discs.
Do not load more than one disc into the player.

Precautions on using the power cord
Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not pull
out the plug by tugging the cord, and never touch the
power cord when your hands are wet, as this could
cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the
unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the power
cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never make a
knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power
cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be
stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fi re or
give you an electric shock. Check the power cord once
in a while. If you fi nd it damaged, ask your nearest MARANTZ authorized service center or your dealer for a
