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

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.
