Before You Switch On
Place in Position
Choose a location with sufficient air circulation to prevent overheating. Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat sources. The product must be positioned horizontally. Do not put any heavy objects on its housing. Protect the laser unit against dust and if necessary, use a cleansing disk carefully following its operating instructions.
Condensation
Condensation may cause the laser lens to
malfunction. For example, bringing the unit from a cold environment to a warm surrounding can cause condensation, or using the player in humid environments.
¾ When moving the unit from a cold
environment to a warm environment, take the
disk out of the unit and wait for about an hour,
until the unit has warmed.
¾ Do not use this unit in high humidity
environments.
Handling Disk’s
Touching the shiny surface of disks can leave dirt, oils or scratches. Always handle the disc from its label side. Putting stickers or adhesive labels on the disk can lead to an imbalance in the disk and cause a malfunction.
Do not expose disks to direct sunlight or other heat sources. Please store the disks only in their sleeves.
Cleaning a Disk
Clean disks with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of cleaning agent, liquid or solvent. Wipe from the inside to the outer edge. Do not wipe in a circular direction.
Using the Remote Control
1. Open the battery compartment that is found on the backside of the remote.
2. Insert four batteries (1.5 V, size AAA). Make sure the polarity matches the marks inside the compartment or the remote will not work and could cause damage.
3. Replace the cover and use the remote. The remote has a range of approximately 20 feet and works best when pointed directly at the DVD player (at angles up to 60° from the front of the player). Obstructions between the player and the remote (like people, pets, or plants) will diminish the remotes effectiveness.
A WORD ABOUT BATTERIES:
• Prevent damage to your remote by
removing batteries prior to storage.
• Batteries contain chemical substances.
Used batteries should be disposed of at a household hazardous waste collection site.
• Never throw batteries into fire, as they
could explode.
• Do not attempt to recharge a battery
unless the battery specifically is marked “rechargeable.” Dispose of immediately.
• Keep all batteries, used or new, out of the
reach of children.
