Would you please help me with the meaning of "artfremd" in the following sentence?
Artfremder Einsatz und Betrieb ohne Aufsicht sind nicht gestattet.
(The sentence refers to a DVD player.)
I was thinking in terms of "inappropriate" for "artfremd", but then again, would the sentence mean that so long as there is "Aufsicht", then such use is "gestattet"? :))

is fine
*Any inappropriate use and unsupervised operation are prohibited.*
The sentence does not imply that such use is fine as long as it's supervised. That would be very strange, indeed. :-)
