Safety Warnings Precautions
Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identification sticker located on the back of your player. Install your player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (3~4inches). Make sure the ventilation slots are not covered. Do not stack anything on top of the player. Do not place the player on amplifiers or other equipment which may become hot. Before moving the player, ensure the disc tray is empty. This player is designed for continuous use. Switching off the DVD player to the stand-by mode does not disconnect the electrical supply. In order to disconnect the player completely from the power sup­ply, remove the main plug from the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.
Protect the player from moisture(i.e. vases) , and excess heat(e.g.fire­place) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields (i.e.speak­ers...). Disconnect the power cable from the AC supply if the player mal­functions. Your player is not intended for industrial use.
Use of this product is for personal use only. Condensation may occur if your player or disc have been stored in cold
temperatures. If transporting the player during the winter, wait approximately 2 hours
until the unit has reached room temperature before using.
During thunderstorms, disconnect AC main plug from the wall outlet. Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat sources.
This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the unit.
The battery used with this product contain chemicals that
are harmful to the environment.
Do not dispose of batteries in the general household
trash.
PREPARATION
Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

This symbol indicates that dangerous voltage which can cause electric shock is present inside this unit.
This symbol alerts you to important operating and maintenance instructions accompanying the unit.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE

Wiring the Main Power Supply Plug(UK Only)
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The main lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug and if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used.
Never use the plug with the fuse cover removed. If the cover is detachable and a replacement is required, it must be of the same colour as the fuse fitted in the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.
However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a main socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.
Never attempt to insert bare wires directly into a main socket. A plug and fuse must be used at all times.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the main lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:–
BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE
As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as fol­lows:– The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH
THE LETTER E OR BY THE EARTH SYMBOL , OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.

If the disc is not closed, it will take longer to start playing and not all of the recorded files may be played.
Only CD-R discs with JPEG files in ISO 9660 or Joliet format can be played.
JPEG file names should be 8 characters or less in length and contain no blank spaces or special characters (. / = +).
Only a consecutively written multisession disc can be played. If there is a blank segment in the multisession disc, the disc can be played only up to the blank segment.
A maximum of 9,999 images can be stored on a single CD.

Back of the Speakers Back of the Main Unit
Rear Speakers
Place these speakers behind your listening position.
If there isn't enough room, place these speakers to face each other.
Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear, facing slightly downward.
*
Unlike the front and center speakers, the rear speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.
Subwoofer
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.
Usually, it is placed by a corner near the front speakers.
Front Speakers
Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.
Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ear.
Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speakers.
Center Speaker
It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers.
You can also install it directly over or under the TV.
Position of the DVD Player
Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the TV stand.
Selecting the Listening Position
The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the distance of the TV's screen size away from the TV. Example: For 32" TVs 2~2.4m (6~8feet)
For 55" TVs 3.5~4m (11~13feet)
