Installation
Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the identification sticker
located at the back of your device. Install the device horizontally, on a suitable base (solid unit with a non-
slippery surface), with enough space around it for ventilation (7 to 10 cm). Make sure the ventilation slots
are not covered. Your device is equipped with a fan which produces a slight hum. Do not stack other
devices, or heavy equipment on top of your machine. Do not place it on amplifiers or other equipment
which may give off heat. Before moving the device, ensure the disc tray is empty. This device is designed
for continuous use. Switching it into stand-by mode does not interrupt its power supply. If the device is
to be left unused for a long period of time or in the event of a thunderstorm, we recommend that you
unplug the device from the mains. The power socket must therefore be easily accessible.
Caution
Protect the player from moisture and excess heat (e.g. fireplace, radiators), and any equipment creating
strong magnetic or electric fields (e.g. speakers, etc.). Disconnect the power cable from the mains
electricity supply if the player malfunctions. Your DMR is not intended for industrial use but for domestic
purposes only. Use of this product is for personal use only. Copying CDs or downloading music files for
sale or other business purposes is or may be a violation of copyright law.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY: TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHTS OR
OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THE PRODUCT
UNDER CONDITIONS OTHER THAN AS HEREABOVE SPECIFIED ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED.
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.
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.
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 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."Copy-protected discs using the Macrovision or CGMS system cannot be
copied.
Dear customer,
Please note that when this product will reaches the end of its service life, you will need to take
responsibility for any special handling needed in its disposal.
THOMSON multimedia shall not be responsible if the player is not used according to this manual.
