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 getting 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 and 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. Do not use
cleaning agents, as they 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.

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, stable surface.

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.

DVD system so that the center channel’s sound
is localized.

3 Place the surround speakers at normal listening

ear level facing each other or mounted on the
wall.

4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV.
