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.
