Safety Information

¶ Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand,

or heat sources.

¶ Place the player on a firm, flat surface.
¶ Keep the player away from domestic heating equipment

and direct sunlight.

¶ In a cabinet, allow about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space all

around the player for adequate ventilation.

¶ If the DVD-Video player cannot read CDs/DVDs correctly,

use a commonly available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the
lens before taking the DVD-Video player to be repaired.
Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep
the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

¶ The lens may cloud over when the DVD-Video player is

suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a
CD/DVD is not possible then. Leave the power on for
about one hour with no disc in the unit until normal
playback is possible.

Cleaning Discs

¶ When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth.

Wipe the disc from the center out, in a straight line.

¶ Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially

available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog
discs.
