Care and safety information

Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust.

– Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.) Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

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 system in an enclosed cabinet, allow about 10 cm (4 inches) of free space all around the player for adequate ventilation.

Care of disc

–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 felt-tipped pen. – Handle the disc by its edge, do not touch the surface.

Care of cabinet

– Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.

Step 1: Placing the speakers and subwoofers

For best possible surround sound, all the speakers (except subwoofer) should be placed at the same distance from the listening position.

1 Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances

from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening position.

2 Place the centre speaker above the TV or the DVD system

so the centre channel’s sound is localized.

3 Place the surround speakers at normal listening ear level

facing each other.

4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV.

Notes:

–To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front speakers too close to your TV. – Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD system.

English

Finding a suitable location

– Place the player on a flat, hard, and stable surface.
