SAFETY INFORMATION

CAUTION

LASER CLASS 1

Wave Lenght: 650 nm ±15nm (DVD)

790 nm ±15nm (CD)

Maximum output of accessible laser radiation: < 0,39 mW (continuous wave) Classified according to IEC 60825-1: 1993 + A1 : 1997

This unit is a class 1 laser product. However this product uses a visible laser beam which could cause hazardous radiation exposure.

Be sure to operate the recorder correctly as instructed. While this recorder is plugged to the wall outlet, do not place your eyes close to the opening of the disc tray

or other openings to look inside the recorder for your own safety. Use of performance control or adjustment procedures other than those specified may result in hazardous

radiation exposure. Do not open the covers and do not attempt to repair any damaged parts. Please refer to a service technician or qualified personnel for any necessary repairs.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, and any interference, use the recommended accessories only.

Do not move your device for 20 seconds after removing DC power to ensure that the actuator is

completely locked. This helps prevent the media and the heads from accidental damage due to

vibration, moving or shipping.

The device shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as

vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

The mains plug or the appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device

shall remain readily operable.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Power Source

The unit should be operated only from a 220-240V~ 50 Hz outlet. Please do not open the cover by yourself. There is high voltage in the set, which will endanger your life. Please contact local service agent for help and advice. Repairs to be carried out by a qualified technician only.

• The apparatus is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the apparatus itself has been turned off.

• If you are not going to use the apparatus for a long time, be sure to disconnect the apparatus from the wall outlet.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The voltage markings and other safety markings are found on the under or rear side of the appliance.

Power Cord

Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord (mains lead), or pinch the cord. Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed in such a way that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask closest service agent for help. When the AC power cord need to be changed, it should be done at a qualified service shop only.

Choice of Location

• Please do not place the set in a place subject to direct sun light, excessive dust or mechanical shock or in a location near heat sources.

• The set should be placed on a solid and safe base. Do not place the apparatus on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.

• A location should not be selected such as a room with high humidity, as the condensation, arising in the kitchen for example, may cause malfunction or damage the set.

• Heating or other thermal radiation under the set also may cause malfunction or damage the set.

• The hot air, which arises during the operation, should be ventilated with sufficient air circulation. Please do

not put the set into closed areas and do not cover it.

• Please avoid the contact of the set with water or humidity. Do not put into operation near bath, swimming pools.

• Take care to provide a good air circulation. Place the apparatus in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the apparatus.
