Warning

Never remove the casing of this DVD Player.

•

Never lubricate any part of this DVD Player.

•

Never place this DVD Player on other electrical equipment.

•

Keep this DVD Player away from direct sunlight, naked ames or heat.

•

Never look into the laser beam inside the DVD Player.

•

Ensure that you always have easy access to the power cord, plug or adaptor to

•

disconnect the DVD Player from the power.

Hearing safety

Listen at a moderate volume.

Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing.

•
This product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may
cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less
than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those
that may have already experienced some hearing loss.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing ‘comfort level’

•
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening,
what sounds ‘normal’ can actually be loud and harmful to your
hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level
before your hearing adapts and leave it there.

To establish a safe volume level:

Set your volume control at a low setting.

•
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and

•
clearly, without distor tion.

Listen for reasonable periods of time:

Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally ‘safe’ levels, can

•
also cause hearing loss.
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate

•
breaks.

8 EN

Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your
headphones.

Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time.

•
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing adapts.

•
Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s

•
around you.
You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in

•
potentially hazardous situations. Do not use headphones while
operating a motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may

create a trafc hazard and is illegal in many areas.

Caution

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than herein

•

may result in hazardous radiation exposure or other unsafe operation.

Notice

Any changes or modications made to this device that are not

expressly approved by Philips Consumer Lifestyle may void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.

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 specialized company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted
batteries and old equipment.
