Supplied accessories Care and safety information
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust
– Do not expose the system, batteries
or discs to humidity, rain, sand or
excessive heat (caused by heating
equipment or direct sunlight). Always
keep the disc tray closed to avoid getting
dust on the lens.
Avoid condensation problem
– The lens may cloud over when the
player is suddenly moved from cold to
warm surroundings, making it impossible
to play a disc. Leave the player in the
warm environment until the moisture
evaporates.
Do not block the vents
– Do not operate the DVD system in an
enclosed cabinet and allow about 10 cm
(4 inches) of free space all around the
player for adequate ventilation.

Care of disc
– To clean a CD, wipe it
in a straight line from the
centre toward the edge
using a soft, lint-free
cloth. Do not use
cleaning agents, as they
may damage the disc.
– Write only on the printed side of a
CD-R/CD-RW and only with a soft felttipped pen.
– Handle the disc by its edge, do not
touch the surface.
Care of the cabinet
– Use a soft cloth slightly moistened
with a mild detergent solution. Do not
use a solution containing alcohol, spirits,
ammonia or abrasives.
Finding a suitable location
– Place the player on a flat, hard, stable
surface.

For best possible surround sound, all the
speakers (except subwoofer) should be
placed at the same distance from the
listening position.
1 Place the front left and right speakers at
equal distances from the TV and at an
angle of approximately 45 degrees from
the listening position.
2 Place the centre speaker above the TV or
the DVD system so that the centre
channel’s sound is localised.
3 Place the rear speakers at normal
listening ear level facing each other or
hang on the wall.
4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near
the TV.
Helpful Hints:
– To avoid magnetic interference, do not
position the front speakers too close to
your TV.
– Allow adequate ventilation around the
DVD system.
