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

Never put any sticker or adhesive label on the disc. Imbalance would occur and cause
malfunction.
Ø
Don’t expose discs to direct sunlight or other heat sources.
Ø
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, supplied
enclosed). 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 60° of the front of the unit. No obstacles
may stand in the way between r/c and infrared sensor.

integrated cable.
Note:
Make sure to configure the HDMI setup of the DVD player (S. 25) properly. The screen
resolution should matches the resolution of your TV as closely as possible.
