PRECAUTIONS

Safety information

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 amplifier. In order to disconnect the player completely
from the power supply, remove the AC 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 the AC 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 batteries used with this product contain

chemicals that are harmful to the environment.

Do not dispose of batteries in the general household

trash.

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:

Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity : (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
Assuming typical TV usage, the batteries last for about one year.
Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may differ in voltage.
Always replace both batteries at the same time.
Do not expose the batteries to heat or a fl ame.

OPERATION RANGE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control can be used up to approximately 23 feet/7 meters in a straight line. It can also be operated at a
horizontal angle of up to 30° from the remote control sensor.

Loosen the knob by turning counterclockwise.

Insert the bare part of the wire into the hole in the side of each
terminal.

● CONNECTIONS

CONNECTING EXTERNAL DEVICES/YOUR TV VIA HDMI

HDMI is a digital standard interface for connection to such devices as a TV, projector, DVD player, Blu-ray player, set-top
box and more.

HDMI removes any loss of signal from analog conversion, enabling you to enjoy video and audio sound quality as it was
originally created in the digital source.

By connecting through the HDMI(High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface) interface, you can play back digital video and audio.

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System (HDCP) support

To play digital contents through the HDMI connection, both the connected external device and TV must
support High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System (HDCP). This product supports HDCP.
