dynamic sound qualities that you find in full
fledged cinemas and incorporates some of the
best features in home theater technology. Other
features include:
● Place the player on a flat, hard, and stable surface
● In a cabinet, allow about 10cm (4 inches) of free
space all around the player for adequate
ventilation.
● Do not expose your player to extreme
temperatures or humidity.
Additional Component Connections
Lets you connect other audio and audio/visual
components to the DVD micro system.
● The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing and that no objects filled with liquid
such as vase shall be placed on the apparatus.
Night Mode
● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
Selects Dynamic ON or OFF cyclically
shall be placed on the apparatus.
Parental Control (Rating Level)
Lets you set a ratings level so that your children
cannot watch a DVD that has a rating higher
than you set.
● The ventilation should not be impeded by

Environmental information
● Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for colour discs.
All 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).
● 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.
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.
● To protect the CD lens for its
peformance, use CD lens cleaner to clean
the lens regularly or when the lens
