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 equipments 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.
Condensation
If your player or a disc have been stored in a cold atmosphere, as for example during transportation in the winter,
wait for approximately 2 hours until they have reached room temperature.

3 - For your safety

Never open the player or any of its components. It can be dangerous for you or for certain fragile components.
You could receive an electric shock or touch the laser beam.
Do not place your eyes close to the opening of the disc tray or any other opening to look inside the player.
4 - Discs
Always handle your discs with care. Hold a disc with fingers on the border or hole.
Always place disc with the label facing upward (in case of a single-sided disc).
Always place the disc properly into the tray using the proper guide area.
Always use a soft cloth to clean discs if necessary, wipe from the centre to the border.
Always put discs back into their cases after playing and store in a vertical position.
Never try to play a Photo CD.
Never use record cleaning sprays, benzine, static electricity liquids or any other solvent, if the disc surface is
dirty. Wipe gently with a soft damp (water only) cloth, never wipe the disc in a circular motion, since circular
scratches are likely to occur and could cause noise during playback.

DVD copy protection

In accordance with the DVD standard, your DVD player is equipped with a Copy Protection system, which
can be triggered on and off by the DVD disc itself, in order to make any recording of the concerned DVD disc
onto a videotape of very poor picture quality, or even impossible. "This product incorporates copyright
protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property
rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection technology
must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home use only unless otherwise authorized
by Macrovision Corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited."
5 - Batteries
Please respect the environment and prevailing regulations. Before you dispose of batteries or
accumulators, ask your dealer whether they are subject to special recycling and if he accepts to take them back.
THOMSON multimedia shall not be responsible if the player is not used according to this manual.
