Safety Warnings
The following diagrams illustrate the precautions to be taken when using
your DVD-ROM drive.
You must not use the drive in any manner other than that specified in this guide.
CAUTION Do not attempt to repair the DVD-ROM drive yourself. Contact your
dealer or local SAMSUNG representative for all repairs.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified here in may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
WARRANTY Please refer to the Samsung limited warranty statements.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
As SD-604 has a steel ball installed in the turntable for the purpose of reducing the
vibration and noises to be generated while the disc shaft rotates, you may hear the ball
clicking sounds when the driver is handled manually or when it rotates at a low speed.
But it is not a problem.
