General Information/Maintenance
Environmental information
Any unnecessary packaging has been omitted.
We have tried to make the packaging easy to
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene
(bags, protective foam sheet).
Your system consists of materials which can be
recycled and reused if disassembled by a
specialised company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.
Care and safety information
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust
●Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by
heating equipment or direct sunlight). Always
keep disc trays closed to avoid dust buildup on
the lens.
●No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall
be placed on the apparatus.
●No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed on the apparatus.
Avoid condensation problem
●The lens may cloud over when the player is
suddenly moved from cold to warm
surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.
Leave the player in the warm environment until
the moisture evaporates.
Do not block the vents
●Do not operate the system in an enclosed
cabinet and allow about 10 cm (4 inches) of free
space all around the player for adequate
ventilation.

DVD Mini Hi-Fi System
●The ventilation should not be impeded by
covering the ventilation openings with items,
such as newspapers table-cloths, curtains, etc.
Cleaning the cabinet
●Use soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use a solution
containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.
Cleaning discs
●To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line from the
center towards the edge using soft and lint-free
cloth. A cleaning agent may damage the disc.
●Write only on the printed side of a CDR(W)
and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.
●Handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the
surface.
Cleaning the disc lens
●After prolonged use, dirt or dust
may accumulate at the disc lens.To
ensure good playback quality, clean
the disc lens with Philips CD Lens
Cleaner or any commercially
available cleaner. Follow the
instructions supplied with cleaner.
Finding a suitable location
●Place the player on a flat, hard, stable surface.

General Information/Maintenance
Cleaning the head and the tape paths
●To ensure good recording and playback quality,
clean the head A, the capstan(s) B, and
pressure roller(s) Cafter every 50 hours of
tape operation.
●Use a cotton swab slightly moistened with
cleaning fluid or alcohol.
●You also can clean the head by playing a
cleaning tape once.
Demagnetising the head
●Use a demagnetising tape available at your
dealer.
CBABC
●Don’t expose the system to dripping or
splashing.
●Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the
AC Power can be reached easily.
●When the system is switched to standby mode,
it is still consuming some power.To disconnect
the system from the power supply completely,
remove the AC power plug from the wall
sockets.
Hearing Safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
• Using headphones at a high volume can
impair your hearing. This product can
produce sounds in decibel ranges that may
cause hearing loss for a normal person,
even for exposure less than a minute. The
higher decibel ranges are offered for those
that may have already experienced some
hearing loss.
• Sound can be deceiving. Over time your
hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher
volumes
of sound. So after prolonged listening, what
sounds "normal" can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. To guard against
this, set your volume to a safe level before
your hearing adapts and leave it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can
hear it comfortably and clearly, without
distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of
time:
• Prolonged exposure to sound, even at
normally "safe" levels, can also cause
hearing loss.
• Be sure to use your equipment reasonably
and take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following
guidelines when using your
headphones.
• Listen at reasonable volumes for
reasonable periods of time.
• Be careful not to adjust the volume as
your hearing adapts.
• Do not turn up the volume so high that
you can't hear what's around you.
• You should use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
• Do not use headphones while operating a
motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding,
etc.; it may create a traffic hazard and is
illegal in many areas.

Connections
Step 1: Placing speakers and
subwoofer

For best possible surround sound, all speakers
(except subwoofer) should be placed at the
same distance from the listening position .
Place the front left and right speakers at equal
distances from the TV set and at an angle of
approximately 45 degrees from the listening
position.
●place the center speaker above theTV set or the
system so the center channel’s sound is localized.
●Place the surround speaker at normal listening
ear level facing each other or mounted on the
set .
●Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV
set.
Notes:
–To avoid magnetic interference, do not position
the front speakers too close to your TV set.
–Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD Mini
Hi-Fi System.
IMPORTANT!
The type plate is located on the rear of
the system.
To avoid overheating of the system, a
safety circuit has been built in. Therefore,
your system may switch to Standby
mode automatically under extreme
conditions. If this happens, let the system
cool down before reusing it.
