ELECTRICAL SAFETY
This appliance is fi tted with a BS1363/A 13 amp plug. If it is not suitable for your supply sockets
it must be removed and replaced with an appropriate plug. If the plug becomes damaged and/or
needs to be replaced please follow the wiring instructions below.

the plug, adapter or at the distribution board. If the fuse in

before the appliance can be used.
This symbol means this appliance is a class II appliance
and therefore, an earth connection is not required.
The Quick Start Guide shows how to connect your DVD player to your television. These methods
are described below.
SCART lead
The SCART lead (not supplied) should be used to connect your DVD player to your TV. This
connection uses component video signals i.e. the red, green and blue (RGB) content of the video
are sent as separate signals. This gives an excellent quality video signal.
RCA AV cable
The RCA AV Cable (not supplied) can be used to connect your DVD player to an external sound
system such as your home stereo or a surround sound system. This connection method separates
the left and right audio signals to provide superior quality sound.
The Remote Control
Installing the Remote Control Batteries
1. To remove the battery compartment cover, push the
cover away from the remote control.
2. Place two AAA size batteries in the compartment
following the battery polarity (+ and -) symbols
indicated inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the lid in position and press until it clicks shut.
Use of the Remote Control
To use the remote control, point it at the right hand front
of the DVD player.
The remote control has a range of up to 6 metres from
the DVD player and at an angle of up to + 30 and
-30 degrees.
Do not block the path of the beam from the remote control to the DVD player.
NOTE: Sunlight or very bright light will reduce the remote control sensitivity.
Your DVD player requires a mains supply of 110-240 V AC at 50/60Hz. Please ensure that your
mains supply is compatible.
1. Unwind the mains cable and insert the mains plug into the mains outlet socket and switch on.
2. To turn the DVD player on, press the Standby On/Off button on the front of the DVD player.
The Standby button on the Remote Control works in the same way as the Standby On/Off
button on the front of the DVD player. The LED in the centre of the button will change from red to
green.
Screen Saver
Television screens can sometimes be damaged by displaying stationary images for prolonged
periods of time. To prevent this, the DVD player is equipped with an automatic screen saver to
protect your television screen.
If the DVD player is in the stop mode and no buttons are pressed for approximately two minutes,
the screen saver is displayed. The screen saver moves the TECHNIKA graphic around the screen.
Press any button on the remote control to deactivate the screen saver.
