example, wait  for about 2 hours before using 

it.

•   The  openings  located  on  the  top  and  bottom

plug from the mains jack as some components 

remain connected to the electrical supply.

•   If you notice any burning or smoke, disconnect 

the  unit  immediately  to  avoid  any  risk  of 

electrocution.

•   Do not attempt to look inside the unit through  

the  disk  tray  opening  or  any  other  opening.

vents at the back or sides.

•   Using  solvents,  abrasive  or  alcohol-based 

products risks damaging the unit. 

•  If  an  object  or  liquid  enters  inside  the  unit, 

unplug it immediately and have it checked by 

an authorized servicer or service center.

Handling and caring for discs

•   Insert  the  disc  with  the  label  facing  up  (for  a 

single-sided disc).

•   Place  the  disc  properly  into  the  tray  in  the 

allotted holder.

•   Use  a  soft  cloth  to  clean  discs  if  necessary, 

always  wiping from the centre to the edge.

•   Always  put  discs  back  in  their  cases  after  use 

and store in a vertical position.

•   Do not close the tray with two discs in it or with 

a disc not sitting correctly in the holder.

•   Do  not  play  cracked,  chipped  or  warped  discs 

nor  try  to  repair  them  with  adhesive  tape  or 

glue.

 ve  speakers 

to play both stereo and Dolby Pro Logic program 

source, such as TV and VCR.

You  can  use  this  mode  with  any  stereo  program 

source  (such  as  VCR/TV)  to  enjoy  multi-channel 

sound experience.

Dolby Digital

The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital 

surround  from  software  processed  in  the  Dolby 

Digital  format.  Dolby  Digital  provides  better

discs on which high quality picture and audio are 

recorded by means of digital signals. 

DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW

Most  DVD-R  and  DVD+R  (one  recording 

only),  DVD-RW  and  DVD+RW  discs 

(rewritable),  depending  on  the  DVD 

writer  and  discs  used.  Recordings  using 

DVD-R and DVD-RW discs must be made 

in  Video  DVD  mode.  Recordings  using 

DVD+RW discs must be made in accordance with 

the speci

fi

 cations for DVD+RW discs with a 4.7 GB 

capacity.

Audio CDs (12 cm).

CD-R, CD-RW

Most CD-R (one recording only) and 

CD-RW discs (rewritable).

CD-Rs written during a multisession recording can be 

played, provided that the session has ended before 

the disc is played (depending on the write software).

Compatible Formats

In  order  to  ensure  playback,  discs  must  conform 
with DVD or CD standards. This unit may not play 
some  recordings  or  fi les  due  to  differences  in 
recording formats, software used and disc types.

However,  depending  on  the  condition  of  the 

CD-writer, computer and the disc used, you may 

fi

 nd  that  not  all  discs  will  play. When  playing  a 

CD-R disc, it is normal for the unit to take up to 

60 seconds to recognize the disc before starting 

to play.

If the disc is not recognized after a period of 120 

seconds, remove the disc, and insert it again.

•   Do not use its full capacity.

•   CD-Rs  should  be  preferably  used  instead  of 

CD-RWs  (rewritable  CDs)  as,  in  certain  cases, 

CD-RW playback may be faulty.

•   Use reliable, good-quality CD write software.

•   Close all other applications on the computer to 

ensure reliable CD-R disc recording.
