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 DVDs, Super Video CDs (SVCDs), VCDs
and CDs. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe
copyright laws.

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.
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.

drops may adhere to the lens to prevent the system from
working properly:
· Immediately after roomheating starts
· When the system is installed in a steamy or damp
space
· When the system is suddenly moved from a cold place
to a warm space
In any of these cases, leave the system turned on for 1 or
2 hours before use.
