4 SAFETY INFORMATION

Dear Customers
We strongly recommend that you carefully study
the Operating Instructions before attempting to
operate the unit and that you note the listed
precautions.

The model number and serial number of this
product can be found on either the back or the
bottom of the unit. Please note them in the
space provided below and retain this booklet as
a permanent record of your purchase to aid
identification in the event of theft.

Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your DVD 5 has been designed for use with
220-240-volt AC current. Connection to a line
voltage other than that for which it is intended
can create a safety and fire hazard and may
damage the unit.

If you have any questions about the voltage
requirements for your specific model, or about
the line voltage in your area, contact your selling
dealer before plugging the unit into a wall out-
let.

Handle the AC Power Cord Gently
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC
outlet, always pull the plug, never pull the cord.

Do Not Open the Cabinet
There are no user-serviceable components inside
this product. Opening the cabinet may present a
shock hazard, and any modification to the prod-
uct will void your guarantee. If water or any
metal object such as a paper clip, wire or a
staple accidentally falls inside the unit, discon-
nect it from the AC power source immediately,
and consult an authorized service station.

Installation Location
■ To assure proper operation, and to avoid the

potential for safety hazards, place the unit on
a firm and level surface. When placing the
unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and
any mounting hardware can support the
weight of the product.

■ Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted

surface.

■ Avoid moist or humid locations.
■ Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold

locations, or an area that is exposed to direct
sunlight or heating equipment.

Cleaning
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean,
soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft
cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a
fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe immediately
with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol
cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any volatile cleaning
agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may
damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid spraying
insecticide near the unit.

Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used to pro-
tect your new receiver during shipment were
specially designed to cushion it from shock and
vibration. We suggest that you save the carton
and packing materials for use in shipping if you
move, or should the unit ever need repair.

To minimize the size of the carton in storage,
you may wish to flatten it. This is done by care-
fully slitting the tape seams on the bottom, and
collapsing the carton down to a more two-
dimensional appearance. Other cardboard
inserts may be stored in the same manner.
Packing materials that cannot be collapsed
should be saved along with the carton in a plas-
tic bag.

If you do not wish to save the packaging materi-
als, please note that the carton and other sec-
tions of the shipping protection are recyclable.
Please respect the environment and discard
those materials at a local recycling center.

Moving the Unit
Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect
any interconnection cords with other compo-
nents, and make certain that you disconnect the
unit from the AC outlet.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid damage to the
DVD 5, which may not be covered by the war-
ranty, be certain that all discs are removed from
the unit before it is moved. Once the DVD 5 is
installed, discs may be left in the unit when it is
turned off, but the unit should NEVER be moved
with discs left in any of the positions of the disc
tray.

Important Information for the User
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tion. However, there is no guarantee that harm-
ful interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harm-
ful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equip-
ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

■ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
■ Increase the separation between the equip-

ment and receiver.

■ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a

circuit different from that to which the receiv-
er is connected.

■ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

CAUTION: The DVD 5 uses a laser system. To
prevent direct exposure to the laser beam, do
not open the cabinet enclosure or defeat any of
the safety mechanisms provided for your protec-
tion. DO NOT STARE INTO THE LASER BEAM.
