Intended use1.1
The LCD display with built-in DVD player plays lm and photos from DVD,
USB and memory card. The game pad can be connected to play video games.
The appliance also plays music from CD. Read the manual carefully before
rst use.
2 DVDs and DVD appliances are manufactured under the worldwide
agreed DVD regional code system that the appliance will operate
only with corresponding disc of the same regional code. If the code
number on the label of a DVD does not match that on the label
alongside, the DVD will not play on this appliance.
i The appliance has built-in copyright protection technology that
prevents copying from a disc to any media. If a video recorder is
connected to the appliance, the video output image will be distorted
during recording.
i Due to the great variety of products with external memory connection
(USB, SD/MMC, etc.) and their sometimes quite manufacturer-
specic functions we can neither guarantee that all devices will be
recognised, nor that all operating options that are possible in theory
will actually work.
