Cleaning discs
To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning cloth and wipe the disc from the center to the edge in a straight line.
CAUTION!
Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static sprays intended for discs.
Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD system operates at a higher power than regular DVD or CD players, cleaning CDs intended for DVD or CD players may damage the optical unit (laser). Therefore, refrain from using a cleaning CD.
Setup
Finding a suitable location
– Place the set on a flat, hard and stable surface. Do not place the set on a carpet. – Do not position the set on top of other equipment that might heat it up (e.g., receiver or amplifier). – Do not put anything under the set (e.g., CDs, magazines). – Install this system near the AC outlet and where the AC power plug can be reached easily.
Space for ventilation
– Place the apparatus in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4.5”) clearance from the rear and the top of the set and 5cm (2.3) from the left and right to prevent overheating.
5cm (2.3")
10cm (4.5")
5cm (2.3")
Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust
– Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing. – Do not place any sources of danger on the apparatus (e.g., liquid filled objects, lighted candles).

Setting the Rating
Some DVDs may have a parental level assigned to the complete disc or to certain scenes on the disc. This feature lets you set a playback limitation level. The rating levels are from 1 to 8 and are country dependent. You can prohibit the playing of certain discs that are not suitable for your children or have certain discs played with alternative scenes.

submenu.

press OK to select a rating level for the disc inserted.

discs, select {8 Adult}.

the four-digit password (Changing the password).
DVDs that are rated above the level
you selected will not play unless you enter your four-digit password.
Helpful Hints: – VCD, CD have no level indication, so parental control function has no effect on these type of discs. This applies to most duplicated DVD discs. – Some DVDs are not encoded with a rating though the movie rating may be printed on the Disc cover. The rating level feature does not work for such Discs.
