About your device

Your device is a digital video player.It can read most DVD +R/+RW / -R/-RW / VCD/S-VCD discs
(8 and 12 cm except for DVD Ram and DVD audio) as well as JPEG, mp3, wma and DivX ultra files.

DTH270E

Your remote control lets you command your player from a
distance using infrared signals. Make sure that you are
pointing the remote control at your player’s window,
ensuring that there are no obstacles (chest of drawers,
person, animal, furniture, etc.) between it and the appliance.
The remote control operates with 2 AA batteries which are
delivered separately. Install the batteries in the remote
control before use.Change the batteries when you see that
the player takes time to react or that the remote control
must be brought closer or pointed more specifically at the
window of your player.

Please dispose of batteries in accordance with current
legislation.

A few precautions

✓ Ensure that the mains supply in your house

complies with that indicated on the
identification sticker located at the back of
your device.

✓ Install your device horizontally, on a suitable

base (furniture), with enough space around it
for ventilation (7 to 10 cm)

✓ Ensure that the ventilation slots,and the

device itself, are not covered by objects such
as a mat, newspapers, curtain, etc.

✓ Do not place another item of equipment on

top.

✓ Do not place the device on top of an

amplifier or any other equipment that gives
off heat

✓ The appliance should not be in contact with

liquids or exposed to the risk of dripping or
splashing.Therefore be careful not to place
any object containing a liquid (vase, glass,
bottle, …) on or near your appliance

Inserting the batteries

✓ The appliance should not be in contact with

or exposed to a flame. Therefore, please do
not place any candles on or near the
appliance.

✓ Protect your appliance from moisture and

excess heat (e.g. fireplace) or equipment
creating strong magnetic or electric fields (i.
e. speakers…). Before moving your
equipment, make sure that the disc drawer is
empty. Setting the equipment to standby
does not cut off the electricity supply. In
order to separate the device completely
from the mains, it has to be disconnected by
unplugging the mains plug; this is
recommended if you haven’t used the device
for a certain time.When connecting, ensure
that the plugs of the various cables are
pushed securely into their corresponding
sockets.

✓ Your appliance is not intended for industrial

use but for domestic purposes only.This
product is intended for purely personal use.

Important information regarding batteries

• Respect the polarities. Do not mix different types of batteries or new and old batteries. Do not
use rechargeable batteries. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat, do not incinerate them
and do not recharge them. Do not try to open them as they may leak or explode. Remove the
batteries from the remote control unit if you are not going to use it for several weeks.
Immediately remove any leaking batteries. Take care in doing this, as leaking batteries may cause
burns to the skin or other physical injury.

• Please respect the environment and prevailing regulations! Before you dispose of
batteries ask your dealer whether they are subject to special recycling and if he
accepts to take them back.
