Precautions

Notes on the power cord

• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an
extended period of time, remove the plug from the
wall outlet. A small amount of power (2.0 W) is always
consumed while the power cord is connected to the
wall outlet.

• When unplugging the player from the wall outlet,
always pull the plug, not the power cord.

• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!

• Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the
player or moving the player.

• Do not alter, twist or pull the power cord, or put
anything heavy on it, which may cause fire, electric
shock, or other accidents.

• If the cord is damaged, consult a dealer and have the
power cord replaced with a new one.

Avoid moisture, water, dust and high temperatures

• Do not place the player in moist or dusty places.

• If water gets inside the player, turn off the power and
remove the plug from the wall outlet, then consult
your dealer. Using the player in this state may cause
a fire or electrical shock.

• Do not expose the player to direct sunlight or place it
near a heating device.

Notes on installation

• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot
nor too cold between 5˚C and 35˚C.

• Leave sufficient distance between the player and the
TV.

• Do not install the player in a place subject to
vibrations.

• Do not put heavy objects on the player.

To prevent malfunction of the player

• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If
anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and
consult your dealer.

• Do not insert any metallic objects, such as wires,
hairpins, coins, etc. into the player.

• Do not block the vents. Blocking the vents may
damage the player.

To clean the cabinet

• Use a soft cloth. Follow the relevant instructions on
the use of chemically-coated cloths.
