Precautions

Use

•If your unit has been stored in a cool place for any length of time, during a journey for example, wait for about 2 hours before using it.

•The openings located on the top and

EN	bottom are for ventilation and must not
	be obstructed.

•During thunderstorms, we recommend that you isolate the unit from the electrical supply so that it is not damaged by electrical or electromagnetic surges.

•This unit is designed for continuous use. Switching off the unit to standby mode does not disconnect it from the mains supply. To completely isolate the equipment, remove the plug from the mains jack as some components remain connected to the electrical supply.

•If you notice any burning or smoke, disconnect the unit immediately to avoid any risk of electrocution.

•Do not attempt to look inside the unit through the disk tray opening or any other opening. You may be electrocuted or exposed to laser radiation.

•This unit is for domestic use only and must not be used for industrial purposes.

•Total or partial copying of recordings protected by copyright legislation, without the explicit permission of the holder of the rights, contravenes current legislation. Copying or downloading music files for sale or any other business purpose constitutes or could constitute a violation of copyright

law. Cleaning

•Use a soft, dry, clean cloth. Regularly dust the vents at the back or sides.

•Using solvents, abrasive or alcohol-based products risks damaging the unit.

•If an object or liquid enters inside the unit, unplug it immediately and have it checked by an authorized servicer or service center.

Handling and caring for discs

•Handle your discs with care. Hold the disc with your fingers at the edges or through the hole.

•Insert the disc with the label facing up (for a single-sided disc).

•Place the disc properly into the tray in the allotted holder.

•Use a soft cloth to clean discs if necessary, always wiping from the centre to the edge.

•Always put discs back in their cases after use and store in a vertical position.

•Do not close the tray with two discs in it or with a disc not sitting correctly in the holder.

•Do not play cracked, chipped or warped discs nor try to repair them with adhesive tape or glue.

•Do not write on a disc.

•Do not move the unit when a disc is being played.

•Do not scratch discs or store them in places exposed to direct sunlight, high humidity or high temperatures.

•Do not use aerosol cleaners, benzene, anti-static liquids or any other solvent for cleaning discs. When cleaning, wipe gently with a soft damp (water only) cloth from the centre to the edge, avoiding circular motions, which could cause scratches and interference during playback.

Compatible Formats

In order to ensure playback, discs must conform with DVD and CD standards. This unit may not play some recordings or files due to differences in recording formats, software used and disc types.

DVD-Video

Digital video discs - 12 cm, single or double sided, single or dual layer. DVDs are high density optical discs on which high quality picture and audio are recorded by means of digital signals.

DVD-R, DVD-RW

Most DVD-R (one recording only)
and DVD-RW discs (rewritable),
depending on the DVD writer and
discs used. Recordings using DVD-R
and DVD-RW discs must be made in	DV D+Rewritable
Video DVD mode.

Audio CDs

Audio CDs (12 cm).

CD-R, CD-RW

Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-RW discs (rewritable).

CD-Rs written during a multisession recording can be played, provided that the session has ended before the disc is played (depending on the write software).

However, depending on the condition of the CD-writer, computer and the disc used, you may find that not all discs will play. When playing a CD-R disc, it is normal for the unit to take up to 20 seconds to recognize the disc before starting to play.

If the disc is not recognized after a period of 20 seconds, remove the disc, and insert it again.

•Do not use its full capacity.

•CD-Rs should be preferably used instead of CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain cases, CD-RW playback may be faulty.

•Use reliable, good-quality CD write

software.EN

•Close all other applications on the computer to ensure reliable CD-R disc recording.

JPEG files

CD-R and CD-RW with JPEG files. Certain JPEG files, including progressive JPEG files, cannot be read by this unit.

The total number of files and folders on the disc should be less than 650. Make sure that files have the “.jpg” extension. Files without the “.jpg” extension will not be able to be read by the unit — even though the files are

shown as JPEG images on your computer.
