Advarsel:Usynlig laserstråling ved åbning  
når sikkerhedsafbrydere er ude af funktion.  
Undgå utsættelse for stråling.  
Luokan 1 laserlaite  
Varoitus! Laitteen käyttäminen muulla  
kuin tässä käyttöohjeessa mainitulla tavalla  
saattaa altistaa käyttäjän  
turvallisuusluokan 1 ylittävälle  
näkymättömälle lasersäteilylle.  
Oikeus muutoksiin varataan. Laite ei  
saa olla alttiina tippu-ja roiskevedelle.  
Bemærk: Netafbryderen er sekundært  
indkoblet og ofbryder ikke strømmen fra  
nettet. Den indbyggede netdel er derfor  
tilsluttet til lysnettet så længe netstikket  
sidder i stikkontakten.  
Huom.Toiminnanvalitsin on kytketty  
toisiopuolelle, eikä se kytke laitetta irti  
sähköverkosta. Sisäänrakennettu verkko-  
osa on kytkettynä sähköverkkoon aina  
silloin, kun pistoke on pistorasiassa.  
S
Laserapparat av Klass 1  
Varning! Om apparaten används på annat  
sätt än som anges i denna bruksanvisning  
kan användaren utsättas för osynlig  
laserstrålning, som överskrider gränsen för  
laserklass 1.  
Observera! Stömbrytaren är sekundärt  
kopplad och bryter inte strömmen från  
elnätet. Den inbyggda nätdelen är därför  
ansluten till elnätet så länge stickproppen  
sitter i vägguttaget.

You can enable or disable viewing of a  
specific disc. The DVD system can  
memorise settings for 120 discs. When  
you select {Play Always}, the disc  
currently in the player moves to the top  
of the list. When the list is full and you  
add a new disc, the last disc in the list will  
drop out of the list.  
If a disc has Parental Level coding, the  
codings are applicable only for the  
country specified on the disc. The disc  
manufacturer sets these codings. For  
example, a disc may be coded at level 3  
for United States. So, for some discs, you  
may need to choose the country for  
which the disc is coded in order for the  
disc to play at the Parental Level you  
select (see page 35).
