SET-UP AND SAFETY

Please note the following points when setting up the DVD player:

This DVD player set is designed to play video and audio signals from compact discs (DVD and CD).

Any other use is expressly prohibited.

If the DVD player is subject to a sudden change in temperature, for example if brought in from the cold to a warm room, 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 you do use it in the open, please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or water splashes.

Place the DVD player on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects such as newspapers 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 vessels such as vases on the DVD player, as they may spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.

Thunderstorms are 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 is designed to the highest technological and environmental standards. 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 restricted and all the larger plastic parts have been labelled. This DVD player is easily disassembled to make servicing easier and optimise recycling.

Guarantee:

We wish to point out explicitly that only operating software authorized by GRUNDIG is permissible for the DVD player. You can obtain this software from your dealer, or in the near future from the Grundig Websites www.grundig.com or www.grundig.de. Any instance of operating software from a dubious Internet source being loaded into the device will impair functioning and also, due to unauthorized intervention, invalidate any claims under the guarantee. As a rule, GRUNDIG declines to refund any costs resulting in such cases. Any repair costs thus due, even those occurring within the guarantee period, are to be paid by the customer.

Setting the dynamic volume range

Dolby digital soundtracks have a very large dynamic volume range, hence there is a great difference in volume between quiet and loud tones. When played at full volume this can be a fascinating experience, which may however cause disturbance late at night.

Simply reducing the volume does not produce pleasing results, and the dialogue becomes difficult to understand. In order to achieve the desired results, you would have to reduce the volume only for the louder sounds, increase the volume during quieter scenes and maintain the volume of the dialogue. Adjustment is done with the following setting. You can change the volume relations in three steps.
