• 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.

• If the wall outlet does not match the AC plug, use the supplied AC power plug adapter (not for HongKong, Saudi Arabia, Australia, New Zealand).

Avoid moisture, water, dust, and high temperatures
