Intended use1.1
The DVD Micro System plays music from CD and radio and music, videos
and photos from DVDs and USB. The appliance also plays photos from
Kodak picture CDs. Read the manual carefully before rst use.
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.
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.
D Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. "Dolby" and
the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

i This appliance is equipped with rubber feet to prevent it from
moving. The feet are made from non-migrating material specially
formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on furniture.
However, certain types of furniture polishes, wood preservatives or
cleaning sprays cause the rubber to soften and leave marks or a
residue on the furniture, and potentially risk the surface to become
damaged. To prevent damage to wooden surfaces, we recommend
that you apply self-adhesive pads to the bottom of the rubber feet
before installation.
