• Ages of 5–6 or over are recommended for viewing stereoscopic 3D images. Symptoms such as fatigue and discomfort are difficult to determine in young children, therefore they may suddenly become ill. When viewing 3D images with children, please watch for eye strain symptoms.

• When viewing stereoscopic 3D images, take a moderate break after watching one title. Viewing for extended periods may cause visual strain.

Precautions when cleaning this product

• Turn off the main power and unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet before handling.

• To clean the outer cabinet, periodically wipe it with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.).

• For severe dirt, soak a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) in some neutral detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe again with a soft, dry cloth.

• Do not use chemicals or a chemically treated cloth for cleaning. It may damage the cabinet finish.

Please always ensure you are using the latest software versions on all units and contact the individual manufacturers for further help if required. To avoid inconveniences, please check the playback compatibility of your self-recorded disc before you purchase this BD-player. For maximum playback compatibility of self-recorded BD-discs Kenwood recommends that the BDMV/BDAV standards are used. If a playback issue occurs after purchase, please download the latest software version for your BD-player from the Kenwood internet page or ask your Kenwood-Dealer. This BD-player uses the latest technology available at the time of development and cannot guarantee support for future enhancements or changes to the standard.

• You may not be able to play some still images which you have created, touched up, copied or otherwise edited on your computer.

• You may not be able to play some still images you have processed (rotated or saved by overwriting other images you have imported from the Internet or e-mail).

You may experience one or more of the following symptoms when playing files.

• It may take some time to play files depending on the number of folders, number of files and volume of data involved.

• EXIF information will not be displayed. EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format, and is a standard for storing interchange information in image files, especially those using JPEG compression. (Refer to http://exif.org for more information.)

About the MP3 file format

MP3 files are audio data compressed in the MPEG1/2 Audio layer-3 file format. “MP3 files” have “.mp3” as extensions. (Some files that have “.mp3” extensions or files that have not been recorded in MP3 format will produce noise or cannot be played.)

Playing the MP3 file format

• The MP3 files are not played in the order they were recorded.

• It is recommended to record data at a lower speed as data recorded at a fast speed can produce noise and may not be able to be played.

• The more folders there are, the longer the reading time.

• Depending on the folder tree, reading MP3 files can take time.

• The playing time may not be correctly displayed during MP3 file playback.

The following files cannot be played on this player.

• When both Audio CD [CD-DA] format and JPEG/MP3 file formats are recorded on a disc. (The disc is recognised to be an Audio CD [CD-DA] only tracks in Audio CD [CD-DA] format are played back.)

DVD discs can contain up to 8 separate tracks with a different language on each. The first in the list is the original track. This section also details the audio format of each soundtrack — Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG etc.

Dolby Digital

A sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories Inc. that gives movie theatre ambience to audio output when the Player is connected to a Dolby Digital processor or amplifier.

Important Information

Disc Precautions

Be Careful of Scratches and Dust

• BD, DVD and CD discs are sensitive to dust, fingerprints and especially scratches. A scratched disc may not be able to be played back. Handle discs with care and store them in a safe place.

Proper Disc Storage

Place the disc in the centre of the disc case and store the case and disc upright.

Avoid storing discs in locations subject to direct sunlight, close to heating appliances or in locations of high humidity.

Do not drop discs or subject them to strong vibrations or impacts.

Avoid storing discs in locations where there are large amounts of dust or moisture.

Handling Precautions

• If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) cloth. When wiping discs, always move the cloth from the centre hole toward the outer edge.

• Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner, static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.

• Do not touch the surface.

• Do not stick paper or adhesive labels to the disc.

• If the playing surface of a disc is soiled or scratched, the Player may decide that the disc is incompatible and eject the disc, or it may fail to play the disc correctly. Wipe any dirt off the playing surface with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the Pick Up Lens

• Never use commercially available cleaning discs. The use of these discs can damage the lens.

Warnings about dew formation

• Condensation may form on pick up lens or disc in the following conditions:

− Immediately after a heater has been turned on.

− In a steamy or very humid room.

− When the Player is suddenly moved from a cold environment to a warm one.

When condensation forms:

• It becomes difficult for the Player to read the signals

on the disc and prevents the Player from operating properly.

To remove condensation:

• Take out the disc and leave the Player with the power

off until the condensation disappears. Using the Player when there is condensation may cause malfunction.
