Precautions

Setting up

Make sure the mains supply in your house corresponds to that indicated on the mains adapter delivered with your appliance. Install the appliance horizontally, leaving enough space around it to ensure adequate ventilation (7cm to 10cm). Do not stack other, or heavy equipments 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. Switching off the DVD player to the stand-by mode does not disconnect the electricity supply. In order to separate the player completely from the mains, it has to be disconnected by unplugging the mains plug, especially when left unused for a long period of time.

Installation in a car

When installing the player in a car, make sure it is firmly secured to stop it being flung about if the car brakes or pulls away sharply. A badly fitted player can endanger the life of the driver and passengers.

Caution

Protect the player from moisture and excess heat (e.g. fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields (i. e. speakers ...). Disconnect the power cable from the mains electricity supply if the player malfunctions. Your player is not intended for industrial use but for domestic purposes only. Use of this product is for personal use only. Copying CDs or downloading music files for sale or other business purposes is or may be a violation of copyright law. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY: TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHTS OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THE PRODUCTUNDER CONDITIONS OTHER THA N ASHEREABOVE SPECIFIED ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED.

Condensation

If your player or a disc have been stored in a cold atmosphere, as for example during transportation in the winter, wait for approximately 2 hours until they have reached room temperature.

For your safety

Never open the player or any of its components. It can be dangerous for you or for certain fragile components. You could receive an electric shock or touch the laser beam. Do not place your eyes close to the opening of the disc tray or any other opening to look inside the player.

Discs

Always handle your discs with care. Hold a disc with fingers on the border or hole. Always place disc with the label facing upward (in case of a single-sided disc). Always place the disc properly into the tray using the proper guide area. Always use a soft cloth to clean discs if necessary, wipe from the centre to the border.

Always put discs back into their cases after playing and store in a vertical position. Never try to play a Photo CD. Never use record cleaning sprays, benzine, static electricity liquids or any other solvent, if the disc surface is dirty. Wipe gently with a soft damp (water only) cloth, never wipe the disc in a circular motion, since circular scratches are likely to occur and could cause noise during playback.

DVD copy protection

In accordance with the DVD standard, your DVD player is equipped with a Copy Protection system, which can be triggered on and off by the DVD disc itself, in order to make any recording of the concerned DVD disc onto a videotape of very poor picture quality, or even impossible. “This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home use only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.”

Battery information

The advantages of lithium-ion batteries

Lithium batteries are small but have a high capacity. If, however, a battery is exposed to low temperatures (below 10°C), its charge life may be reduced and it could stop working.

REMARKS: • Charge the battery when the ambient

temperature is between 10°C and 35°C. The ideal temperature range for charging is 20°C to 25°C.

• Charge life varies according to ambient temperature and the state of the battery. • To avoid interfering with reception, do not use the mains adapter/charger close to a radio. • When charging the battery for the first time or after a long period in storage, the charging light might fail to come on. If this happens, remove the battery from the mains adapter/charger briefly then try again. • If the battery does not hold its charge for long, even after a full charge, then it is worn out and needs replacing. Please buy a new battery.

DANGER ! Never dismantle the batteries or expose

them to flames or excess heat, as this can cause fires or explosions.

WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals

to enter into contact with metal objects, as this can cause a short-circuit which may start a fire.

CAUTION: Before disconnecting the battery, make

sure the electrical supply to the player is also disconnected.

Dear customer - Please note that when this

product will reaches the end of its service life, you will need to take responsibility for any special handling needed in its disposal.

THOMSON multimedia shall not be responsible if the player is not used according to this manual.
