Varoitus! Laitteen käyttäminen muulla  
kuin tässä käyttöohjeessa mainitulla  
tavalla saattaa altistaa käyttäjän  
turvallisuusluokan 1 ylittävälle  
näkymättömälle lasersäteilylle.  
Oikeus muutoksiin varataan. Laite ei  
saa olla alttiina tippu-ja roiskevedelle.  
Bemærk: Netafbryderen er sekundært  
indkoblet og ofbryder ikke strømmen  
fra nettet. Den indbyggede netdel er  
derfor tilsluttet til lysnettet så længe  
netstikket sidder i stikkontakten.  
Huom.Toiminnanvalitsin on kytketty  
toisiopuolelle, eikä se kytke laitetta irti

Observera! Stömbrytaren är sekundärt  
kopplad och bryter inte strömmen från  
nätet. Den inbyggda nätdelen är  
därför ansluten till elnätet så länge

and  
two AA batteries  
– Do not put anything under the set  
(e.g., CDs, magazines).  
– Install this system near the AC outlet  
and where the AC power plug can be  
reached easily.  
PREVIEW MUTE  
Space for ventilation  
– Place the apparatus in a location with  
adequate ventilation to prevent internal  
heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4.5”)  
clearance from the rear and the top of  
the set and 5cm (2.3”) from the left and  
right to prevent overheating.  
Cleaning discs

5cm (2.3")  
CAUTION!  
10cm (4.5")  
5cm (2.3")  
10cm (4.5")  
Do not use solvents such as benzene,  
thinner, commercially available cleaners,  
or anti-static sprays intended for discs.  
Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD  
system operates at a higher power than  
regular DVD or CD players, cleaning CDs  
intended for DVD or CD players may  
damage the optical unit (laser).Therefore,  
refrain from using a cleaning CD.  
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,  
water and dust  
– Apparatus shall not be exposed to  
dripping or splashing.  
– Do not place any sources of danger on  
the apparatus (e.g., liquid filled objects,  
lighted candles).

length of music;measured in kilobits per seconds, or

speed, the better the sound quality. However, higher  
bit rates use more space on a Disc.

chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter  
you want.

OPTICAL jacks.These jacks send audio through  
multiple channels, instead of just two channels as

to the limitation level in each country. The limitation  
varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback

converting analog sound signal to digital signal for  
later processing, with no data compression used in  
conversion.  
Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal  
recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for controlling  
reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on a  
Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can  
enjoy interactive-type software as well as software  
having a search function.  
Region code: A system for allowing discs to be  
played back only in the region designated beforehand.

region codes. You can find the region code of your  
unit by looking on the product label. Some discs are  
compatible with more than one region (orALL

transported over the internet, while maintaining high  
visual quality.

by Dolby Laboratories containing up to six channels  
of digital audio (front left and right, surround left and  
right, center and subwoofer).  
JPEG: A very common digital still picture format.A  
still-picture data compression system proposed by  
the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features  
small decrease in image quality in spite of its high  
compression ratio.  
MP3: A file format with a sound data compression  
system.MP3is the abbreviation of Motion Picture  
Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By  
using MP3 format. one CD-R or CD-RW can contain
