4. Ventilation

Do not place the equipment on a bed,
sofa, rug or similar soft surface, or

since ventilation may be impeded.
We recommend a minimum distance
of 50mm around the sides and top of
the appliance to provide adequate
ventilation.

5. Heat

Locate the appliance away from naked
flames or heat producing equipment
such as radiators, stoves or other
appliances (including other amplifiers)
that produce heat.

6. Climate

The appliance has been designed for
use in moderate climates.

7. Racks and stands

Only use a rack or stand that is
recommended for use with audio
equipment. If the equipment is on a
portable rack it should be moved with
great care, to avoid overturning the
combination.

8. Cleaning

Unplug the unit from the mains supply
before cleaning.

The case should normally only require a
wipe with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth.
Do not use paint thinners or other
chemical solvents for cleaning.

We do not advise the use of furniture
cleaning sprays or polishes as they can
cause indelible white marks if the unit
is subsequently wiped with a damp
cloth.

9. Power sources

Only connect the appliance to a power
supply of the type described in the
operating instructions or as marked on
the appliance.

This is a Class 1 device and must be
earthed.

10. Power-cord protection

Power supply cords should be routed
so that they are not likely to be walked
on or pinched by items placed upon

attention to cords and plugs, and
the point where they exit from the
appliance.

11. Grounding

Ensure that the grounding means of
the appliance is not defeated.

12. Power lines

Locate any outdoor antenna/aerial

14. Abnormal smell

If an abnormal smell or smoke is
detected from the appliance, turn the
power off immediately and unplug the
unit from the wall outlet. Contact your

Additional information

Performing a factory reset

If the DVDI10 is moved to another
location you may want to clear the
tuner memory and presets. In this case
perform a factory reset as follows:

•

Switch the DVDI10 to standby.

•

While holding down the left volume

" button on the front panel
press STANDBY.

The display shows the reset options;
for example:

Set Factory Default?
1:FM 2:AM 3:FM&AM

•

Press 1, 2, or 3 on the DVDI10 remote

control to specify which settings
and presets you want to reset.

RS232

The RS232 connector allows your dealer
to upgrade the firmware on your DVDI10,
or control the DVDI10 as part of a multi­room system. Do not connect anything
to this socket unless instructed by your
dealer.

Connecting aerials

For best results from both DAB and FM
reception you will need separate DAB
and FM aerials, with an aerial combiner
to combine the signals from both
aerials into the connector on the back
panel of the DVDI10.

In an area with good DAB reception
you should get good results with
a simple dipole aerial, with two
elements or wires arranged in a T. The
aerial should be mounted with the
elements pointing vertically as the
transmissions are vertically polarised.

In an area of strong FM reception a
dipole aerial should also give good
results with FM. Arrange the elements
horizontally as FM receptions are
horizontally polarised.

Contact your Primare dealer for further
information and advice.

Playing music files and
displaying photos

If you have a computer, you can create
CD-ROMs containing MP3 files (with a
maximum of 99 folders and 99 files),
and use the DVDI10 to play these
through your hi-fi system.

You can also create CD-ROMs of photos
from your digital camera in JPEG
format, and use the DVDI10 to display
them on your television or display.

When you insert a CD-ROM containing
MP3 or JPEG files the Smart Navigator is
displayed on the on-screen display, and
you can use this to search for the files
you want to play or display, and add
tracks to the playlist.

Initially this shows a single folder in
the left-hand list called ROOT, which
represents the disc, and the contents
of the disc in the right-hand list.

•

Select a folder in the left-hand list

and press SELECT to open it and
display its contents in the right­hand list.

•

Select a file in the right-hand list

and press SELECT to play/display it.

When playing MP3 files you can use the
following special keys:

Key Description
