Precautions

• Safety

The TV/DVD’s components are sensitive to heat.The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius. Do not cover the vents at the back or top of the TV/DVD. Leave sufficient space around it to allow adequate ventilation.

Moisture in rooms where the set is installed should not exceed 85% humidity. If you have to use the TV/DVD outdoors, do not expose it to water from rain or splashing. Moving it from a cold atmosphere into a warm one can cause condensation on the screen (and on some components inside the TV/DVD). Leave the condensation to evaporate before turning the TV/DVD on again.

If you are away for a long period,remove the plug from the mains supply socket.

During thunder storms, we recommend that you disconnect the TV/DVD from the mains and aerial so that it is not affected by electrical or electromagnetic surges that could damage it.For this reason,keep the mains socket and aerial socket accessible so they can be disconnected.

Immediately disconnect the TV/DVD if you notice it giving off a smell of burning or smoke.You must never under any circumstances open the TV/DVD yourself. You risk electrocution if you do so.

• Care

Clean the screen with a glass care cleaner and the rest of the set with a soft cloth and neutral detergent.Regularly dust the vents at the back and sides. Using solvents, abrasive or alcohol based products risks damaging the TV/DVD.

Caution: the screen of your LCD TV/DVD may be damaged if is cleaned with strong detergents, alcohol or abrasive products.

• Copy protection

In accordance with the DVD standard, your TV/DVD is equipped with a Copy Protection Device, 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.”

THOMSON multimedia is not liable if the TV/DVD set is not used in accordance with this manual.

Precautions concerning the installation and care of your LCD TV/DVD.

• Discs

Always...

• handle your discs with care. Hold a disc with fingers on the border or hole,

• always insert them carefully in the slot located on top of your LCD screen, upwards, (for single-sided disks),

• the printed side must always be facing you,

• 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...

• never play cracked,chipped or deformed discs nor try to repair them with adhesive tape or glue,

• never write on the disc,

• never move the player during playback,

• never scratch discs or store them in places of direct sunlight, high humidity or high temperature,

• never try to play a Photo CD or CD-R in this player,

• 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.

If you hear strange noises or vibrations coming out of the unit once a disc has started to play, rapidly press the STOP key of the remote control or front of player.
