source. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.

8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug

inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts
of the DVD player.

Moisture condensation occurs during the
following cases:

When you bring the DVD player directly from a cold
place to a warm place.

When you use the DVD 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.

ln summer, when you use the DVD player in a hot and
humid place just after you moved the unit from an air
conditioned room.

When you use the DVD player in a humid place.

Do not use the DVD player when moisture
condensation may occur.

lf you use the DVD player in such a situation,
it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove
the disc, connect the power cord of the DVD player
to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD player and leave it
ON for two or three hours. After two or three hours,
the DVD player will have warmed up and evaporated
any moisture. Keep the DVD player connected to
the wall outlet and moisture condensation will
seldom occur.

Moisture condensation damages the DVD player.
Please read the following carefully.

NOTES ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION:

Insert the small plug from the supplied AC/DC Adaptor to the DC IN Jack on the rear of Player. Insert the
