Changer. Some DVD videos do not support the full potential of
the DVD technology. Your DVD Changer may therefore not
respond to all operating commands. Refer to instruction notes on
discs.
A "
" mark may appear on the TV screen during operation. It
means that the operation is not permitted by the DVD Changer or
the disc.

4. Recording Copyright
Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use is
illegal without permission of the copyright holder.
5. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME,
READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
The voltage of the available power supply differs according to
country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the
area where this unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g.,
AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the rear panel.
6. Do not touch this unit with wet hands
Do not handle this unit or power cord when your hands are wet or
damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take this unit to
an authorized service center for inspection.
7. Location of this unit
· Place this unit in a well-ventilated location.
Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of
this unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If ventilation
is blocked, this unit may overheat and malfunction.
· Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heating units as this
unit's internal temperature may rise and shorten the life of the
pickup.
· Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by
vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the unit
on or above one of the speakers.
· Be sure this unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never place it
on its side or on a slanted surface as it may malfunction.
· When you place this DVD Changer near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted.
In this case, place the DVD Changer away from the TV, radio, or
VCR.
Precautions
8. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and
the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth
in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry,
and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean
cloth.
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical
solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove
the panel lettering.
9. Notes on Handling
· When shipping the DVD Changer, use the original shipping carton
and packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit
as it was originally packed at the factory.
· Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the DVD
Changer. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with
the DVD Changer for a long time. They will leave marks on the
finish.
· The top and rear panels of the DVD Changer may become warm
after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
· When the DVD Changer is not in use, be sure to remove the disc
and turn off the power.
· If you do not use the DVD Changer for a long period, the unit
may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the DVD
Changer occasionally.
10. To Obtain a Clear Picture
The DVD Changer is a high technology, precision device. If the
optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down,
the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we
recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts
replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating
environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.
11. Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the DVD Changer.
Please read the following carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold
drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the
outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on
the optical pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial
internal parts of the DVD Changer.
· Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.
- When you bring the DVD Changer directly from a cold place to a
warm place.
- When you use the DVD Changer in a room where you just turned
on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air
conditioner directly hits the unit.
- In summer, when you use the DVD Changer in a hot and humid
place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.
- When you use the DVD Changer in a humid place.
· Do not use the DVD Changer when moisture condensation may
occur.
If you use the DVD Changer in such a situation, it may damage
discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord
of the DVD Changer to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD Changer,
and leave it for two or three hours. After a few hours, the DVD
Changer will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep
the DVD Changer connected to the wall outlet and moisture
condensation will seldom occur.
