Repair and Refurbished Goods
or Parts Notice
Unfortunately, from time to time, faulty products are manufactured which need to be returned to the
Supplier for repair.
Please be aware that if your product is capable of retaining user-generated data (such as files stored on a
computer hard drive, telephone numbers stored on a mobile telephone, songs stored on a portable media
player, games saved on a games console or files stored on a USB memory stick) during the process of
repair, some or all of your stored data may be lost. We recommend you save this data elsewhere prior to

stringent quality specifications.
If at any time you feel your repair is being handled unsatisfactorily, you may escalate your complaint.

Safety instructions
General
• Do not place containers containing liquid, e.g. vases, on the appliance, the mains
adapter or in their immediate surroundings, and protect all parts of the device
from splashes or spray. The container may tip over and the liquid can impair the
electrical safety of the device.
• If the plug, cable or appliance is damaged, immediately remove the plug from the
power supply.
• If the unit has been moved from a cold to a warm room, wait before connecting
the device to the power supply. The ensuing condensation could damage the
device. The device can be operated safely as soon as it reaches room temperature.
Keep electrical equipment out of reach of children
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device. This
device is not intended for use by people (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental abilities or for those without experience and/or knowledge,
unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or they have
been instructed in its use.
• If swallowed, batteries may endanger life. Therefore, keep the remote control and
batteries out of reach of small children. If a battery is swallowed, please obtain
immediate medical assistance.
Set-up location
• In the first few hours of use new devices may give off a typical, unavoidable but
totally harmless smell, which wears off with time. To help reduce the amount of
odour build-up, we recommend that you ventilate the room at regular intervals.
We have taken appropriate measures during the development of this device so that
levels are explicitly below legislative limits.
• Keep your appliance and all connected appliances away from moisture and avoid
dust, heat and direct sunlight. Non-compliance with these instructions can lead to
faults or damage to the appliance.
• If you are operating the appliance outside, make sure that it is not exposed to any
moisture (rain, snow, etc.).
• Do not place any open flames (candles or similar) on or near the device.
• Do not place any items such as magazines on top of the device.
• Make sure that there is sufficient clearance from the sides of the furniture unit.
Ensure a minimum separation of 10 cm around the appliance for sufficient
ventilation.
• Operate all components on a stable, level and vibration-free base, to prevent the
device from falling over.
• Avoid dazzle, reflections and strong bright-dark contrast in order to protect your
eyes. The optimal viewing distance is 5 times the screen diagonal.

ATTENTION!
Even when the ON/CHARGE switch is off, some components of the device are
live. To disconnect the power from your device or to completely isolate the
device from voltage sources, unplug the device completely from the mains.
• Only plug the mains adapter into an earthed socket with 100–240 V~ 50 Hz.
Contact your electricity provider if you are not sure if the socket is earthed or not.
• For extra safety, we recommend using an overvoltage protection device to prevent
the product from sustaining damage as a result of power surges or lightning
strikes.
• To interrupt the power supply, pull the mains adapter from the socket.
• The mains adapter must remain easily accessible after connection so that it can be
unplugged quickly in an emergency.
• To avoid overheating, do not cover the mains adapter.
• If you are using an extension cable, make sure that it complies with VDE
requirements. If in doubt, contact your electrician.
• Position the cable so that it cannot be stepped on or tripped over.

General
About DVDs
A DVD – Digital Versatile Disc – is a digital medium for storing
information. DVDs are marked with one of the symbols shown
here.
Different types of DVD are available with different storage capacities depending on
how the information is stored.
DVD structure
Video DVDs are divided into tracks and chapters. A DVD may contain several tracks,
which may in turn be made up of several chapters. Tracks and chapters are each
numbered sequentially:
Title 1
Chapter1 Chapter2 Chapter3 Chapter4
Title 2
Chapter1 Chapter2 Chapter3 Chapter4
The first track of a DVD usually comprises licence details and manufacturer’s
information. The next track is usually the film itself. Other tracks may include items
such as “making of” documentaries, film previews or information on the actors.
Languages and subtitles
Up to eight languages and subtitles in as many as 32 different languages can be stored
on DVDs. Any combination of languages and subtitles can be selected for playing back
discs.
Camera angle
Some DVDs even allow the viewer to select multiple camera angles, provided that the
film was recorded from different camera positions.

Regional codes
For reasons to do with global DVD sales strategies, a code has been developed for
DVDs that allows the recording to be played only on devices purchased in a particular
region.
This code is based on a system that divides the world into six regions.
Australia is in region 4. Your DVD player will therefore only play DVDs that have the
regional code 4. The regional code is printed on the DVD packaging.
Apart from DVDs with regional code 4, the unit will also play DVDs with the regional
code 0 (suitable for any DVD player). If you have problems when playing certain DVDs
make sure that the DVD has the regional code 4 or 0.

Playable formats
In addition to DVDs, the device can play the following formats:
• DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD-RW, DVD-R
• VCD and SVCD
• Audio CD
• MP3
• CD-R/RW
