PAGE 6 INTRODUCTION
Precautions
Notes on handling
When shipping the DVD player, always use the
original shipping carton and packing materials.
For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was
originally packed at the factory.
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray,
near the DVD player. Do not leave rubber or
plastic products in contact with the DVD player for
a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.
The top and rear panels of the DVD player may
become warm after a long period of use. This is
normal and not a malfunction.
When the DVD player is not in use, be sure to
remove the disc and turn off the power.
Notes on Locating
When you place this DVD player near a TV, radio,
or VCR, the playback picture may become poor
and the sound may be distorted. In this case,
move the DVD player away from the TV, radio, or
VCR.
To Obtain a Clear Picture
The DVD
player is a high technology, precision
device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts
are dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes
poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend
regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or
parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use
depending on the operating environment. For details,
contact your nearest dealer.
Notes on Cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak
detergent solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry
cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use any type of
solvent, such as thinner and benzene, as they
may damage the surface of the DVD player.
If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the
unit, follow that product’s instructions.
Warning : Cleaning and adjustment of lenses
and/or other components of playback mechanism
should be performed by a qualified service
technician.
Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the DVD player.
Please read the following carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when
you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day.
Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In
the same way, moisture may condense on the
optical pick-up lens 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.
In summer, when you use the DVD player in a hot
and humid place just after you move 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.
If you use the DVD player in such a situation, it
may damage discs and internal parts. 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. If a disc is present inside
the machine, remove it immediately. 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.
PAGE 7INTRODUCTION
For Proper and Long Use
DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING
PLAYBACK
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do
NOT lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so
may damage the disc.
WHEN MOVING THIS UNIT
When changing places of installation or packing the
unit for moving, be sure to remove the disc and
return the disc table to its original position in the
player. Then, press the POWER button on the
remote control or on the front panel and then
disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit with the
disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.
INSTALLATION
Select a stable place to the side of a TV set or
stereo system to be connected to the unit.
When using the unit with a stereo system, install
the speakers a little bit away from the TV if these
are not magnetically shielded.
Do NOT install the unit on top of a TV or color
monitor. Install the unit away from equipment that
may be affected by magnetism, such as a
cassette deck.
AVOID INSTALLING IN A PLACE THAT IS:
Exposed to direct sunlight
Exposed to humidity or where ventilation is poor
Extremely hot or cold
Exposed to vibration
Exposed to dust
Exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat (for
example, a kitchen)
DO NOT PLACE AN OBJECT ON TOP
Do NOT place an object on the unit.
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS
Do NOT use the player on top of a long-fibre carpet,
bed or sofa, and do not cover it with a cloth etc. This
will prevent heat radiation and could result in
damage.
AVOID HEAT
Do NOT place the unit on equipment generating
heat, such as an amplifier.
When installing the unit in a rack, place it on the
lowest shelf possible (however, not where it is
exposed to dust) and separated from the amplifier to
avoid the heat generated by the amplifier of other
audio equipment.
CAUTION : WHEN PLACING THE UNIT
IN A STEREO RACK WITH GLASS
DOORS
Be sure there is ample space between the unit and
the glass doors when opening the disc table using
the remote control. If the disc table opens against
strong resistance, such as a closed glass door,
damage to the unit may result.
CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the
player if the player is brought from cool surroundings
into a warm room or if the temperature of the room
rises suddenly. When this happens, player’s
performance will be impaired. To prevent this, let the
player stand in its new surroundings for about an
hour before switching it on, or make sure that the
room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if
the player is exposed to the breeze from an air
conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the
player.
SWITCH POWER OFF WHEN NOT
USING THE UNIT
Depending on the strength of the TV or radio
broadcast signal, having the TV or radio ON while
power to the unit is ON may result in stripes on the
TV screen or noise. However, this is not a
malfunction of this unit or the TV or radio. In such a
case, switch the power of the unit OFF.
POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out
the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the
power cord when your hands are wet as this could
cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place
the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord,
or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or
tie it with other cords. The power cords should be
routed in such a way that they are not likely to be
stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire
or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord
once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your
nearest service center or your dealer for a replacement.
PAGE 8 INTRODUCTION
For Proper and Long Use
On Handling Discs

placing objects on discs outside of their case may
cause warping
On Cleaning Discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture
and sound deterioration. Wipe the disc from the
center outward with a soft cloth. Always keep the
disc clean.
If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth,
wipe the disc lightly with a slightly moistened soft
cloth and finish with a dry cloth.

benzine, commercially available cleaners or
anti-static for vinyl LPs. They may damage the
disc.
