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 jack
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 to avoid
a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a
13 Amp jack 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.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or
performance of procedures other
than herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure or other unsafe
operation.

Care and safety information
● Power consumption
– When the system is switched to
Standby mode, it is still consuming power.
To disconnect the system from the power
supply completely, remove the AC power
plug from the wall jack.
● Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust
– Do not expose the player, batteries or
discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive
heat (caused by heating equipment or
direct sunlight.)
● 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 Player in an
enclosed cabinet, allow about 10 cm (4
inch) of free space all around the player
for adequate ventilation.
PREVIEW
MUTE
● 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, and
stable surface.
● Disc handling
– To clean a CD, wipe it in a
straight line from the center
towards the edge using a soft,
lint-free cloth. A cleaning
agent may damage the disc!
– Write only on the printed
side of a CDR(W) and only with a soft felttipped pen.
– Handle the disc by its edge, do not
touch the surface.
