About this Manual

The operation described here mainly refers to the use of the remote control handset (R/C).

Buttons with same or similar marking at the main unit have the same function like those of

the R/C. If this symbol occurs on the screen during operation, that function requested is

not supported by the media type inserted.

The following Media Formats are supported:

= supported £ = not supported ^ = success depends on burning method

Important Note

Usually the unit plays DVD-R/RW, CD-R/RW and MP3 discs. But due to the variety

of disc types, recording computers, operating systems and burning software we

cannot guarantee that every DVD-R/RW, CD-R/RW is playable.

The unit does not play DVD-ROM, CD-ROM etc.. And there is no way to play back

Discs in SECAM colour system, just PAL and NTSC will be supported.

The unit’s operation and functions depend on the specific disc inserted. In some cases,

these functions and operations may differ from the descriptions given in this Owner’s

Manual. In this event, please follow the instructions given on the screen. This Manual just

covers basic disc operations.

certain US patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and

Region Management Information

This DVD/CD player is designed and manufactured to respond to the region

management information that is recorded on a DVD disc. If the region number

described on the DVD disc does not correspond to the Region number of this

DVD/CD player, this DVD/CD player cannot play this disc. The region number for

this DVD player is “2”.

Please note for a better understanding of this manual that the program of a DVD may be

these titles can be divided into “chapters”. The program of audio CD’s is divided into

“tracks”.

“Dolby” and the symbol are registered trademarks of the DOLBY LABORATORIES.

Before You Switch ON

Place in Position

For setting up the unit please choose a location with sufficient air circulation around. That

prevents overheating. Don’t expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat sources.

The product must be positioned horizontally only. Don’t put any heavy objects on its

housing.

To protect the laser unit avoid dusty surroundings. If necessary, please use a cleansing

disc carefully following its operating instructions.

Condensing Moisture

In these cases water may be condensing on the laser lens causing malfunction:

The unit is suddenly brought from a cold to a warm surrounding.

=> Please take out the disc and wait for about

an hour, until the unit has warmed.

The unit is operated in a very humid surrounding.

=> Please choose a location with lower humidity.

Handling Disc’s

In order to keep the disc clean please never touch its shiny surface.

Never put any sticker or adhesive label on the disc. Imbalance

would occur and cause malfunction.

Don't expose discs to direct sunlight or other heat sources.

Please store the discs only in their sleeves.

Cleaning a Disc

To clean a disc use a soft cloth without any cleaning agent, liquid or

solvent. Only wipe from the centre hole towards the outer edge,

never in circular movement.

Using the Remote Control Handset

1. Please open the battery compartment.

2. Insert two batteries (1,5 V, size AA, R6, UM-3). Please

make sure the polarity matches the marks inside the

compartment. Otherwise the r/c will not work and may be

damaged. Replace the cover.

3. Please point the r/c towards the main unit when operating

its buttons.

The r/c works properly in a distance below 5m and in an

angle of up to 45° of the front of the unit. No obstacles may

stand in the way between r/c and infrared sensor.

Should the r/c start to work unreliably replace both

batteries. We recommend using alkaline batteries.

Batteries should not be disposed by ordinary refuse disposal. Please lead

empty batteries towards appropriate collecting points. Never throw batteries

into fire.

If you won’t use the r/c for some time, please remove the batteries from the

compartment, to prevent damage by leakage.
