Important Note for Users in the UK

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.To

change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp,

A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should

be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.

If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5

Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the

distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note:The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible

shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket

elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.

• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.

• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

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.
