IMPORTANT NOT E
Important notes for users in the U.K.
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.

Environmental information
All unnecessary packaging has been omitted. We have tried
to make the packaging easy to separate into three materials:
cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer) and
polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).
Your system consists of materials which can be recycled
and reused if disassembled by a specialised company. Please
observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of
packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.
Installation
● Place the player on a flat, hard, and stable surface.
● In a cabinet, allows about 10cm (4 inches) of free space all
around the player for adequate ventilation.
● Do not expose your player to extreme temperatures or
humidity.
Maintenance
● When a disc becomes dirty, clean it
with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc
from the center out, in a straight
line.
● Do not expose the player, 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.
● Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for colour
discs.
● 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.

Language Setup
AUDIO / SUBTITLE / DISC MENU
Select your preferred language settings for your DVD
(audio language, subtitle language and disc menus) so
that the system will automatically switch to the selected
language whenever you load a DVD. If the language
selected is not available on the disc, the original language
designated by each disc will be selected.
Features Setup
PARENTAL
Enables setting of playback limitation level. Some DVDs may
have a parental level assigned to the complete disc or to
certain scenes on the disc. 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.
1 Use the numeric keypad (0-9) to enter ‘1234’ (default
password) when you are asked to enter the four-digit
password. You will have to enter the same code, exactly,
twice.
2 Use 34 keys to select a rating level.
3 Press OK to confirm.
Rating explanations
NO PARENTAL – It will play all discs.
8 ADULT – Mature material; should be viewed only by adults
due to graphic sexual material, violence, or language.
7 NC-17 – No children under age 17; not recommended
viewing for children under age 17.
6 PG-R – Parental Guidance - Restricted; recommended that
parents restrict children under 17 from viewing or
allow to view only when supervised by a parent or
adult guardian.
4 PG13 – Material is unsuitable for children under age 13.
3 PG – Parental Guidance suggested.
1 G – General Audience; recommended as acceptable
for viewers of all ages.
Helpful Hints:
– Some DVDs are not encoded with a rating though the
movie rating is printed on the disc jacket. The rating level
feature does not work for such discs.
– If the player’s parental level is set below 8, only discs with a
lower or equal level will play. For example, if the player is set to
5, only discs with ratings of 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 will be played.
Higher rated scenes will not be played unless an alternative
that has the same rating or lower is available on the disc. For
example, consider a disc that generally is suitable for most
audiences, and it is rated at level 2 for the most part. However,
in the middle, there are also scenes rated at 5 (not suitable for
children).
To enable playback of a higher rated disc or scene
than the level set
Go to ‘PARENTAL’ and enter the four-digit cord before
resetting the rating level to a higher number.
If you forget the 4-digit code
Press Ç four times when prompted for the password
cord and the system will change back to the default
password (1234).
