Thomson DTH220U User Manual

Precautions

Setting up

Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the identification sticker located at the back of your player. Install your player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (7-10 cm). Make sure the ventilation slots are not covered. 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. This player is designed for continuous use. 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.

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 PRODUCT UNDER CONDITIONS OTHER THAN AS HEREABOVE 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.

Dear customer,

You may need to use other connection setups suited to the connectors available on your other devices or to get maximum performance out of your player. Your player has other sockets for these purposes.

at the back is positioned on RGB and that your

TV set supports that type of signal.
