SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (continued)
This unit has been produced according to all current safety regulations. The following safety tips
should safeguard users against careless use and the dangers connected with such use.
Although this unit has been carefully manufactured and rigorously checked before leaving the
factory, as with all electrical appliances, it is possible for problems to develop. If you notice
smoke, an excessive build up of heat or any other unexpected phenomena, you should
disconnect the plug from the mains power socket immediately.
Ensure that the unit is sufficiently ventilated!
The mains plug or appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device
shall remain readily operable.
This unit must operate on a power source specified on the specification label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or local power
company.
The socket outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily accessible.
Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.
Units with Class 1 construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective
earthed connection.
Keep away from rodents. Rodents enjoy biting into power cords.
Always hold the plug when pulling out the plug from the mains supply socket. Do not pull the
power cord. This can cause a short circuit.
The screen is made of plastic and can break if damage is done to it. When broken, be careful
with sharp edged plastic splinters to avoid injury.
Avoid placing the unit on any surfaces that may be subject to vibrations or shocks.
To protect the unit during a thunderstorm unplug the AC power cable and disconnect the
aerial. Caution: Do not touch the aerial (RF) connector.
When the unit is not used for long periods of time, unplug the AC power cable for safety
reasons.
Do NOT tap or shake the screen, you may damage the internal circuits. Take good care of
the remote control, do not drop.
To clean the TV use a soft dry cloth. Do NOT use solvents or petrol based fluids. For
stubborn stains, you may use a damp cloth with dilute detergent.
The laser beam used in the CD player section may be harmful to the eyes. Do not attempt to
disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
If the player is left in a car parked in the sun, be sure to choose a location in the car where the
player will not be subjected to the direct sunlight.
CD
Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts. Do not leave it
in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in temperature inside of
the car.
Do not stick paper or stickers on the CD, nor scratch the CD.
After playing, store the CD in its case. Scratches, dirt or fingerprints on the CD may cause
tracking errors or skipping.
If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp
room, moisture may condense on the lens inside of the CD player section. Should this occur
the player will not operate properly in this case, remove the CD and wait about an hour for
the moisture to evaporate.
This CD player is designed to be played on a stable no vibration position. If you bump the set
during CD play, the music will stop or skip for a few seconds. This is normal for this type of
player.

Scratched discs
If your disc is badly scratched, it will not play. You may be able to repair the disc if you use a disc
polisher.
Cleaning the Lens
If the lens becomes dirty, it may cause a skipping of sound during CD operation. Clean the lens
with a commercially available lens cleaner and blower or carefully wipe it with a soft dry cloth.
Where to install
Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and strong lights, soft indirect lighting is recommended
for comfortable viewing. Use curtains or blinds to prevent direct sunlight falling on the screen.
Place the TV on a sturdy platform of which the surface should be flat and steady. This will prevent
it from falling over. Make sure the television is located in a position where it cannot be pushed or
hit by objects, as pressure will break or damage the screen, and so that small objects cannot be
inserted into the ventilation slots or openings in the cabinet.
