Precautions
Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identification sticker located on the back of your player. Install your player
horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (3~4inches). Make sure the ventilation slots are not
covered. Do not stack anything on top of the player. Do not place the player on amplifiers or other equipment which may become hot.
Before moving the player ensure the disc tray empty. This player is designed for continuous use. Switching off the DVD player to the stand-by
mode does not disconnect the electrical supply. In order to disconnect the player completely from the power supply, remove the main plug
from the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.
Protect the player from moisture(i.e. vases) , and excess heat(e.g.fireplace) or
equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields (i.e.speakers...).
Disconnect the power cable from the AC supply if the player malfunctions.
Your player is not intended for industrial use.
Use of this product is for personal use only.
Condensation may occur if your player or disc has been stored in a cold
atmosphere.
If transporting the player during the winter, wait approximately 2 hours until
the unit has reached room temperature before using.

A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the center unit to
prevent abnormal temperature inside the center unit, thus assuring
normal operation. The cooling fan automatically starts rotating to
supply external cool air to the inside of the center unit when the
internal temperature exceeds the specified limit.
For safety, observe the following carefully.
•Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor
ventilation could overheat and damage the canter unit.
•DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or
holes. (If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat
may not be able to escape.)
(About the cooling fan)
Snap the tabs on the loop into the
slots of the base to assemble the
