Introduction
7 Important cautions
Installation of the system
· Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold;
between 5°C and 35°C.
· Leave sufficient distance between the system and the TV.
· Do not use the system in a place subject to vibration.
Power cord
· Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!
· A small amount of power is always consumed while the power
cord is connected to the wall outlet.
· When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet, always
pull on the plug, not the power cord.
To prevent malfunctions of the system
· There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes
wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.
· Do not insert any metallic object into the system.
· Do not use any non-standard shape disc (like a heart, flower or
credit card, etc.) available on the market, because it may damage
the system.
· Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, because it
may damage the system.
Note about copyright laws
Check the copyright laws in your country before recording from the
discs. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright
laws.
Note about copyguard system
The discs are protected by copyguard system. When you connect
the system to your VCR directly, the copyguard system activates
and the picture may not be played back correctly.
7 Safety precautions
Avoid moisture, water and dust
Do not place the system in moist or dusty places.
Avoid high temperatures
Do not expose the system to direct sunlight and do not place it near
a heating device.
When you are away
When away on travel or for other reasons for an extended period of
time, disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
Do not block the vents
Blocking the vents may damage the system.
Care of the cabinet
When cleaning the system, use a soft cloth and follow the relevant
instructions on the use of chemically-coated cloths. Do not use
benzene, thinner or other organic solvents including disinfectants.
These may cause deformation or discoloring.
If water gets inside the system
Turn the system off and disconnect the power cord plug from the
wall outlet, then call the store where you made your purchase.
Using the system in this condition may cause fire or electrical
shock.
Check to be sure you have all of the supplied accessories.
The number in parentheses is the quantity of the pieces supplied.
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.
