stand, tripod, bracket, or table.The appliance may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended
by the manufacturer, or sold with the
appliance. Any mounting of the
appliance should follow the
manufacturer's instructions, and should
use
a
mounting
accessory
recommended by the manufacturer.
9.
An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance and
cart combination to overturn.
10. Ventilation ­ Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance and to
protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked
or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the
appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The appliance
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or
rack unless proper ventilation is provided. There should be free space
of at least 5 cm (2 in.) and an opening behind the appliance.
11. Power Sources ­ The appliance should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance
dealer or local power company.
12. Grounding or Polarization ­ The appliance may be equipped with
a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one
way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13. Power-Cord Protection ­ Power-supply cords should be routed
so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed

integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.

appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.

B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the appliance,
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,
D. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered
by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the appliance to its normal
operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance ­
this indicates a need for service.
19. Replacement Parts ­ When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified
by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.
20. Safety Check ­ Upon completion of any service or repairs to the
appliance, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the appliance is in proper operation condition.
21. Wall or Ceiling Mounting ­ The appliance should be mounted to a

5. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ
THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
The voltage of the available power supply differs according to country
or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area where
this unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., AC 230 V, 50
Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the rear panel.
6. Do not touch this unit with wet hands
Do not handle this unit or power cord when your hands are wet or
damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take this unit to
an authorized service center for inspection.
7. Location of this unit
· Place this unit in a well-ventilated location.
Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of this
unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If ventilation is
blocked, this unit may overheat and malfunction.
· Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heating units as this
unit's internal temperature may rise and shorten the life of the pickup.
· Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by
vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the unit on
or above one of the speakers.
· Be sure this unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never place it on
its side or on a slanted surface as it may malfunction.
· When you place this DVD Changer near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted.
In this case, place the DVD Changer away from the TV, radio, or
VCR.
8. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and
the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in
a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and
wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth.
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical
solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove
the panel lettering.
Precautions
9. Notes on Handling
· When shipping the DVD Changer, use the original shipping carton
and packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit as
it was originally packed at the factory.
· Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the DVD
Changer. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the
DVD Changer for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.
· The top and rear panels of the DVD Changer may become warm
after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
· When the DVD Changer is not in use, be sure to remove the disc
and turn off the power.
· If you do not use the DVD Changer for a long period, the unit may
not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the DVD Changer
occasionally.
10. To Obtain a Clear Picture
The DVD Changer is a high technology, precision device. If the
optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the
picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we
recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts
replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating
environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.
11. Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the DVD Changer.
Please read the following carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold
drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside
of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical
pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of
the DVD Changer.
· Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.
- When you bring the DVD Changer directly from a cold place to a
warm place.
- When you use the DVD Changer in a room where you just turned
on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner
directly hits the unit.
- In summer, when you use the DVD Changer in a hot and humid
place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.
- When you use the DVD Changer in a humid place.
· Do not use the DVD Changer when moisture condensation may
occur.
If you use the DVD Changer in such a situation, it may damage
discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord
of the DVD Changer to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD Changer,
and leave it for two or three hours. After a few hours, the DVD
Changer will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep
the DVD Changer connected to the wall outlet and moisture
condensation will seldom occur.
