recautions
1 - 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 devices 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.
2 - 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.
