scratched or dirty, or if the player’s pickup lens is dirty.) Some
CD-R and CD-RW discs may need to be finalized* before

All DVD Video discs carry a region mark on the case
somewhere that indicates which region(s) of the world the
disc is compatible with. Your DVD system also has a region
mark, which you can find on the rear panel. Discs from
incompatible regions will not play in this system. Discs
marked ALL will play in any player.

Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come, so
please bear in mind the following points when choosing a
suitable location for it:

Do...

✓Use in a well-ventilated room.
✓Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or
stereo rack.

Don’t...

✗Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity,
including near radiators and other heat-generating
appliances.
✗Place on a window sill or other place where the system will be
exposed to direct sunlight.
✗Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
✗Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in
your stereo system that becomes hot in use.
✗Use near a television or monitor as you may experience
interference—especially if the television uses an indoor
antenna.
✗Use in a kitchen or other room where the system may be
exposed to smoke or steam.
✗Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth—this may
prevent proper cooling of the unit.
✗Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough
to support all four of the unit’s feet.

Avoiding problems with

condensation

Condensation may form inside the system if it is brought into
a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room
rises quickly. Although the condensation won’t damage the
system, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this
reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer
temperature for about an hour before switching on and using.

Moving the system

If you need to move the system, first switch it off and unplug
from the wall outlet. Never lift or move the unit during
playback—discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.
