GB
WARNING
All ICs and many other semi-conductors are
susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD).
Careless handling during repair can reduce life
drastically.
When repairing, make sure that you are
connected with the same potential as the mass
of the set via a wrist wrap with resistance.
Keep components and tools also at this
potential.
F
ATTENTION
Tous les IC et beaucoup d’autres
semi-conducteurs sont sensibles aux
décharges statiques (ESD).
Leur longévité pourrait être considérablement
écourtée par le fait qu’aucune précaution n’est
prise à leur manipulation.
Lors de réparations, s’assurer de bien être relié
au même potentiel que la masse de l’appareil et
enfiler le bracelet serti d’une résistance de
sécurité.
Veiller à ce que les composants ainsi que les
outils que l’on utilise soient également à ce
potentiel.
ESD
D
WARNUNG
Alle ICs und viele andere Halbleiter sind
empfindlich gegenüber elektrostatischen
Entladungen (ESD).
Unsorgfältige Behandlung im Reparaturfall kan
die Lebensdauer drastisch reduzieren.
Veranlassen Sie, dass Sie im Reparaturfall über
ein Pulsarmband mit Widerstand verbunden
sind mit dem gleichen Potential wie die Masse
des Gerätes.
Bauteile und Hilfsmittel auch auf dieses gleiche
Potential halten.
NL
WAARSCHUWING
Alle IC’s en vele andere halfgeleiders zijn
gevoelig voor electrostatische ontladingen
(ESD).
Onzorgvuldig behandelen tijdens reparatie kan
de levensduur drastisch doen verminderen.
Zorg ervoor dat u tijdens reparatie via een
polsband met weerstand verbonden bent met
hetzelfde potentiaal als de massa van het
apparaat.
Houd componenten en hulpmiddelen ook op
ditzelfde potentiaal.
I
AVVERTIMENTO
Tutti IC e parecchi semi-conduttori sono
sensibili alle scariche statiche (ESD).
La loro longevità potrebbe essere fortemente
ridatta in caso di non osservazione della più
grande cauzione alla loro manipolazione.
Durante le riparazioni occorre quindi essere
collegato allo stesso potenziale che quello della
massa dell’apparecchio tramite un braccialetto
a resistenza.
Assicurarsi che i componenti e anche gli utensili
con quali si lavora siano anche a questo
potenziale.
“Pour votre sécurité, ces documents
doivent être utilisés par des spécia-
listesagréés,seulshabilitésàréparer
votre appareil en panne”.
GB
Safety regulations require that the set be restored to its original
condition and that parts which are identical with those specified,

Helpful Hints:
– Some DVDs are not encoded with a rating though the
movie rating is printed on the disc jacket. The rating level
feature does not work for such discs.
– If the player’s parental level is set below 8, only discs with a
lower or equal level will play. For example, if the player is set to
5, only discs with ratings of 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 will be played.
Higher rated scenes will not be played unless an alternative
that has the same rating or lower is available on the disc. Fo r
example, consider a disc that generally is suitable for most
audiences, and it is rated at level 2 for the most part. However,
in the middle, there are also scenes rated at 5 (not suitable for
children).
To enable playback of a higher rated disc or scene
than the level set
Go to ‘PARENTAL’and enter the four-digit cord before
resetting the rating level to a higher number.

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A.
or BSI approved type.
3 Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its
place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value
of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the
distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a
possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp
socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the
following code: blue = neutral (N),
brown = live (L).
¶As these colours may not correspond with the colour
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed
as follows:
–Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or
coloured black.
– Connect the brown wire to the terminal
marked L or coloured red.
– Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in
the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green
and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the
cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not
simply over the two wires.
