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.

PREPARATION

During thunderstorms, disconnect AC main plug from the wall outlet. Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.

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.

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.

Notes on Discs

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) offers fantastic audio and video, thanks to Dolby Digital

surround sound and MPEG-2 video compression technology. Now you can enjoy these realistic effects in the home, as if you were in a movie theater or concert hall.

DVD players and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in order for the disc to play. If the codes do not match, the disc will not play. The Region Number for this player is given on the rear panel of the player.

(Your DVD player will only play DVDs that are labeled with identical region codes.)

TV stand.

Front/Rear 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.

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 (6~8 feet)

For 55" TVs 3.5~4m (11~13 feet)

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.

•

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.
