Care and Safety Information
DANGER!
High voltage! Do not open the
device. You run the risk of getting
an electric shock.
Cleaning discs
Some problems occur because the disc
inside the recorder is dirty (frozen
picture, sound disruptions, picture
distortions). To avoid these problems,
discs should be cleaned on a regular
basis.
The machine does not contain any
user-serviceable parts. Please leave
all maintenance work to qualified
personnel.
To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning
cloth and wipe the disc from the center
to the edge in a straight line.
Setup
Finding a suitable location
– Place the set on a flat, hard and stable
surface. Do not place the set on a
carpet.
– Do not position the set on top of
other equipment that might heat it up
(e.g., receiver or amplifier).
– Do not put anything under the set
(e.g., CDs, magazines).
– Install this unit near the AC outlet and
where the AC power plug can be
reached easily.
CAUTION!
Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available cleaners,
or anti-static sprays intended for analog
discs. Since the optical unit (laser) of the
DVD player operates at a higher power
than regular DVD or CD players,
cleaning CDs intended for DVD or CD
players may damage the optical unit
(laser). Therefore, refrain from using a
cleaning CD.
Space for ventilation
– Place the apparatus in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent
internal heat build up. Allow at least
10 cm (4.0”) clearance from the rear
and the top of the set and 5cm (2.0”)
from the left and right to prevent
overheating.
5cm (2.0")
10cm (4.0")
10cm (4.0")
5cm (2.0")
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust
– Apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
– Do not place any sources of danger
on the apparatus (e.g., liquid filled
objects, lighted candles).
