10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,

convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. 12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the

manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for

long periods of time.

14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the

apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this device to rain, moisture,

dripping, or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on it.

16 An apparatus with a three-prong, grounding-type plug is a Class I apparatus, which

needs to be grounded to prevent possible electric shock. Make sure that you connect this Class I device to a grounding-type, three-prong outlet.

17 The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The plug must remain readily operable. 18 Keep a minimum distance of 4 inches (10cm) around the apparatus for sufficient

ventilation.

19 Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as book case or similar unit. The

ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items such as newspaper, table-cloths, or curtains.

20 Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like.

Caution:

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same

or equivalent type.

About Blu-ray Discs

The massive storage capacity of a Blu-ray Disc allows a higher standard of picture and audio quality and a wealth of special effects and enhanced features not available on DVDs.

Java

Your player features Java support so you can get the most out of the latest Blu-ray Discs. When a Blu-ray Disc loads, explore the title menu to enjoy such features as interactive menus and BD-Live.

HDMI

HDMI is the only domestic medium capable of transmitting the huge volumes of data required by the high picture resolutions and advanced digital audio codecs that make Blu-ray such an exciting medium.

Playing Blu-ray Discs

Playing Blu-ray Discs are a lot like playing DVDs, except Blu-ray Discs have a higher level of interactivity.

Most of the standard features of DVD playback work the same with Blu-ray Disc playback. The two most common exceptions are:

• Resume play—Not available on Blu-ray discs

• A-B repeat (playback loop)—Not available on some Blu-ray Discs

Warning: This device emits radio-frequencies, maintain a minimum distance of 8 inches

(20cm) from the device while using it.
