9 Only connect the device with the supplied power cord to
a suitable wall outlet. If the provided plug does not fit
into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of
the obsolete outlet.
10 Install the power cord in such a way that nobody can trip
over it. Also make sure that the cable does not become
trapped, especially near the plug, the receptacle or at the
point where it comes out of the device.
11 Only use accessories recommended by the manufactu-
rer.
12 When a cart is used, operate carefully to prevent the
device from tipping over.
13 Disconnect the device from the mains during a storm by
pulling on the power plug and from the antenna by pulling out the antenna plug. Also do this when you are not
going to use the device for a long period of time.
Otherwise there is danger of lightning!
14 Please contact qualified personnel when servicing is
needed. Servicing is required when this product has
been damaged in any way, for example, when the power
cord or plug is damaged, when liquid has been spilled
on the product, when objects have fallen into the product, when the product has been exposed to rain or moisture, when the product does not work normally or if the
product has been dropped.
15 Battery Safety Instructions - To prevent battery leakage
which may result in bodily injury or property damage:
• Install all batteries correctly, with + and - signs matching the marks indicated.
• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.).
• Remove batteries when the device is not to be used
for a long time. Warning!
• Do not try to recharge the batteries and do not throw
batteries into fire.
• Do not disassemble any batteries – there is risk of
explosion!
New Regulations concerning the disposal of used batteries apply. Batteries may be returned for free to your
dealer’s shop or to public recycling and collection places
in smaller quantities. Do not dispose of any batteries in
with the domestic trash. Use the free collecting systems!
Protect our environment. Please return any used batteries for disposal.

being exposed to any rain, dripping or splashing.
17 Do not place it under dripping or flowing liquids. Do not

19 Do not use any extension cords.
20 The wall outlet must be easily accessible.
21 The power switch of this device does not fully dis-
connect the device from the mains. Furthermore, the
device consumes electricity in the Standby mode. In
order to completely disconnect the device from the
mains, the power plug must be pulled out from the wall
outlet. For this reason, the device should be positioned
in a way that assures unobstructed access to the wall
outlet so that the power plug can be immediately pulled
out in an emergency situation. To avoid the danger of
fire if the device is not going to be used for a long while
(e.g. during holidays), it should always be disconnected
from the power socket.
Always hold all cables by the plug and never pull on the
cable itself. Never hold the power cord with wet hands as
this may cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not
place the unit itself nor any furniture or other devices
onto the power cord and make sure that the cable does
not become trapped. Never make knots in the cable and
do not tie it together with other cords. The power cord
should be positioned so that nobody can trip over them
or be obstructed by them. A damaged power cord can
cause a fire or an electric shock. Inspect the power cord
from time to time. In case of damage, contact the nearest
authorised service centre or your dealer for replacement.
22 Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is
connected to the product, be sure that the antenna
system is grounded so as to provide sufficient protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

tic fields (e.g. loudspeakers)
24 Children: electrical appliances do not belong in the
hands of children. Do not allow children to play with
electrical devices when not under supervision. Children

and CD-R/RW discs with audio titles, DivX, MP3, WMA
and/or JPEG files.
This indicates a product feature that is capable
of playing DVD-RW discs recorded with Video

Notes:
• Depending on the conditions of the recording equip-
ment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) disc itself,
some CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) discs cannot be
played on the unit.
• Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-
shaped or octagonal) since they may result in malfunctions.
• This unit requires discs and recordings to meet cer-
tain technical standards in order to achieve optimal
playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different
types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain
pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.

required in order to download MP3 / WMA files

right to grant such permission. Permission should
always be sought from the copyright owner.

the rear of the unit or “ALL”.
Notes on Regional Codes
• Most DVD discs have a globe with one or more num-
bers in it clearly visible on the cover. This number
must match your unit’s regional code or the disc cannot play.
• If you try to play a DVD with a different regional code
from your player, the message “Check Regional
