Quick-Use Guide

Environmental Information

Your system has materials that can be recycled and reused if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries, and old equipment.

Safety Information

Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand, heat, or humidity.

Place the DVD Player on a firm, flat surface.

Keep the DVD Player away from domestic heating equipment and direct sunlight.

When placing the DVD Player in a cabinet, allow about one inch of space all around the DVD Player for ventilation. Leave enough room in front of the DVD Player for the disc tray to open completely.

If the DVD Player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the DVD Player. If this occurs, the DVD Player will not operate normally. Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the DVD Player until normal playback is possible.

The mechanical parts of the Player contain self-lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.

When the DVD Player is turned off, it is still consuming some power.To disconnect the system from the power supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the power outlet.

Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

Cleaning Discs

When a Disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth.Wipe the Disc from the center to the edge in a straight line. Do not wipe the Disc in a circular pattern.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog discs.
