GENERAL ADVICE

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS and USER INFORMATION

Your new DVD player is designed and built to provide trouble-free performance, but as with all electronic devices it is necessary to observe a few precautions.

ALWAYS disconnect your entire system from the AC mains before connecting or disconnecting any cables, or when cleaning any component.

This product is equipped with a three-conductor AC mains power cord which includes an earth ground connection. To prevent shock hazard, all three connections must ALWAYS be used. if your electrical outlets will not accept this type of plug an adapter may be purchased. If an adapter is necessary, be sure it is an approved type and is used properly,

Heed all warnings on the back of the unit.

Only connect the DVD player to a mains outlet of the voltage marked on the back of the unit.

The DVD player will operate in accordance with its specifications as long as the environmental conditions are kept in the following ranges:-

Temperature 5 to 45 degrees Celsius Humidity 10 to 90% non condensing

Position the mains lead and all interconnects where they are not likely to be walked on or trapped by items placed on them.

Do not use near water. The unit shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the unit.

Do not place the unit near direct heat sources such as radiators or other equipment that produces heat.

Do not place the unit where it can be subjected to direct sun-light.

Do not remove any covers or try to gain access to the inside. The warranty is invalid if the unit has been tampered with. There are no user adjustments within. Refer all service work to an authorised Musical Fidelity agent.

Dust regularly with a soft duster or soft brush but be careful when using cleaning or polishing agents - they may harm the surface finish.

NEVER use flammable or combustible chemicals for cleaning audio components.
