SET-UP AND SAFETY
To ensure that this high-quality, easy-to-use DVD player provides you with lasting satisfaction and enjoyment, please observe the following instructions when setting it up.
This DVD player set is designed to play audio and video signals from compact discs (DVD and CD).
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
When the DVD player is subject to extreme variations in temperature, for example during transportation from a cold area to a warm one, connect it to the mains supply and let it stand for at least two hours before you insert a DVD. The DVD player is designed for use in dry rooms. If, however, you use it in the open, it is essential to ensure that it is protected from moisture (rain, lawn sprinklers).
Place the combined DVD player on an even and solid surface. Do not place any objects (newspapers, for example) on the DVD player or any cloth or similar articles underneath it.
Do not place the DVD player close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.
Do not insert foreign objects in the air vents or the disc compartment.
Never open the DVD player casing under any circumstances. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from improper handling.
Do not place any containers filled with liquids (vases or similar) on the DVD player. The container could fall over and the liquid may present an electrical safety risk.
SET-UP AND SAFETY
Thunderstorms present a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the DVD player is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always remove the mains plug during an electrical storm.
If the DVD player is unable to scan DVDs or CDs perfectly, use a standard commercial cleaning CD to clean the laser optics. Other cleaning methods may damage the laser optics.
Always keep the disc compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on the laser optics.
This DVD player successfully fuses technology and environmental friendliness into a coherent package. Only ecologically compatible, high quality materials have been used. The batteries included are free of mercury and cadmium.
The range of materials used has been deliberately reduced to a minimum and all the larger plastic parts have been labelled to enable effective recycling at the end of the system's service life. This DVD player is easily disassembled to make servicing easier and optimise recycling.
