Notes on handling
• When shipping the Player, the original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum
protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.
• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in
contact with the Player for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.
• The top and rear panels of the Player may become warm after a long period of use. This is not a
malfunction.
• When the Player is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and turn off the power.
• If you do not use the Player for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and
use the player occasionally.
Notes on locating
• Place the player on a level surface. Do not use is on a shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbling table
or inclined stand. The loaded disc may come off the proper position and cause damage to the player.
• When you place this player near a TV or radio, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may
be distorted. In this case, place the player away from the TV or radio.
Notes on cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe
it dry. Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and gasoline, as they may damage the surface of the
player.
• If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that product's instructions.
To obtain a clear picture
The player is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or
worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection
and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating
environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.
Notes on moisture condensation
Moisture condensation damages the player. Please read the following carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of
water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens
inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the player.
Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases.
• When you bring the player directly from a cold place to a warm place.
• When you use the player in a room where you just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from
the air conditioner directly hits the unit.
• In summer, when you use the player in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air-
conditioned room.
• When you use the player in a humid place.
Do not use the player when moisture condensation may occur.
If you use the player in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect
the power cord of the player to the wall outlet, turn on the player, and leave it for two or three hours, the player
will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the player connected to the wall outlet and moisture
condensation will seldom occur.
