Precautions
Use · If your appliance has been stored in a cool place for any length of time, during a journey for example, wait for about 2 hours before using it. · The openings located on the top and bottom are for ventilation and must not be obstructed. · During thunderstorms, we recommend that you isolate the appliance from the electrical supply so that it is not damaged by electrical or electromagnetic surges. Switching off the DVD player to stand-by mode does not disconnect it from the mains supply. To completely isolate the equipment, remove the plug from the mains socket as some components remain connected to the electrical supply. [. . . ]
