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.
