• SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• If no sound is emitted from the speakers when the POWER is ON, turn down the volume
level, and press the POWER button to switch the unit to standby mode. Then, check if the
speaker cords are properly connected.
• This unit contains a muting circuit and it takes about 5 – 6 seconds for this unit to reach
stable operation after switching the set to POWER ON mode.
• Never open the covers or touch the insides or insert a metal object. Any of these could
cause an electric shock or a fault.
• When an electrical storm is present, unplug the power cord and disconnect the antenna
connections.
• The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
• To clean the cabinets and panels when dirty, clean off dirt on the surfaces with a soft, dry
cloth. Never use thinner, benzene or alcohol, as these will damage the surface finish.
• Protect the unit against excessive heat (e.g. direct sunlight), dust and moisture.
• Be careful not to damage the power supply cord. Be sure to hold the plug when pulling it
out; do not pull the cord.
• Do not install the set in a confined location; otherwise, heat dissipation will be poor and
malfunctions may occur.
• Do not place foreign objects in the disc compartment. It may cause damage to the
mechanism.
• Do not move the unit suddenly from a very cold room into a warm room. When a chilled
DVD player is moved suddenly to a warm location, condensation may form on the pickup
lens, preventing proper operation. In this case, wait 1 – 2 hours before resuming playback.
• During playback, if the DVD player is subjected to a sudden shock or jolt, some noise may
be produced. This is not a malfunction.
• The DVD player has wide dynamic range. As a result, if you turn your amplifier's volume up
too high during soft (low volume) passages of a program, your speakers may be damaged
when the dynamic range of a sudden loud passage is produced.
• Do not store discs in high-temperature, high-humidity locations. The discs may develop
warps and become unplayable. Also, discs with moisture on them may be unplayable. Wipe
any moisture off with a soft, dry cloth, and be sure discs are dried completely before using.
• Do not leave a disc inside the DVD player when it is not used for a long period.
• Always remove the disc from the tray when removing the unit. Failure to do so may damage
the unit.
• Please do not use discs with cellophane/labels attached or discs with peeled off stains, for
example, rental discs. Otherwise, they may get trapped inside the unit and cause
malfunction.
• The POWER button on the front panel and remote control switches the unit from ON to
STANDBY but does not isolate the unit from the mains supply. If it is to be left unattended
for a long period, it is recommended that the unit is switched to standby and the mains plug
is removed from the socket.
