attempting to connect your DVD player to the mains.  
Warning  
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.  
Caution  
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified may result in hazardous radiation  
exposure.  
Caution  
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Please  
refer all servicing to a qualified engineer.  
The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to  
the presence of uninsulated 'dangerous voltage' within the product's enclosure that may be of  
sufficient magnitude to  
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.  
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important  
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.  
This product complies with European Low Voltage (73/23/EEC) and Electromagnetic Compatibility  
(89/336/EEC) Directives when used according to this instruction manual.  
Plug Fitting Instructions (UK only)  
The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a 13A mains plug fitted with a 3A fuse inside. If it is necessary to  
change the fuse, it is important that a 3A one is used.  
If the plug needs to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an  
appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions below.  
The plug must then be disposed of safely, as insertion into a 13A socket is likely to  
cause an electrical hazard. Should it be necessary to fit a 3-pin BS mains plug to  
the power cord the wires should be fitted as shown in this diagram.  
FUSE  
The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with  
the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug. Connect them as  
follows:-  
BLUE  
N
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is  
marked with the letter 'N' or coloured BLACK.  
L
BROWN  
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is  
marked with the letter 'L' or coloured RED.  
CORD  
GRIP  
Note

Recommended Recording Discs  
We cannot ensure that all the discs can be recorded successfully due to a large variety of different quality discs on the market. We  
recommend that you buy quality discs to guarantee a higher successful recording rate. Meanwhile, we have also tested some  
brands and the following discs have performed very well during our tests.  
Because of the low quality of some players or the question of compatibility, we also can ensure that all the players will play the  
recorded discs made on this unit. Newer high quality players are recommended.

It is recommended that you use a DVD+R/RW of no higher than 4-speed to record.  
Please keep the recording side of a DVD+R/RW clean and intact. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight.  
The performance of a DVD+RW worsens after many times recording. You can replace the disc to avoid the problem.
