5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

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. Damage Requiring Service Unplug the apparatus from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the fol­lowing conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen
into the apparatus,
C. If the apparatus has been exposed to rain or water, D. If the apparatus does not operate normally by fol-
lowing the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the apparatus to its normal operation,
E. If the apparatus has been dropped or damaged in
any way, and
F. When the apparatus exhibits a distinct change in
performance this indicates a need for service.
16. Object and Liquid Entry Never push objects of any kind into the apparatus through openings as they may touch dangerous volt­age points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall be placed on the apparatus. Don’t put candles or other burning objects on top of this unit.
17. Batteries Always consider the environmental issues and follow local regulations when disposing of batteries.
18. If you install the apparatus in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is ade­quate ventilation. Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides and 10 cm (4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf or board above the apparatus shall be set 10 cm (4") away from the rear panel or wall, creating a flue-like gap for warm air to escape.

Precautions

1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use only, recording copyrighted material is illegal without the permission of the copyright holder.
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-ser­viceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact your Onkyo dealer.
3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thinners, alco­hol, or other chemical solvents, because they may damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
4. Power WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the volt­age requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel (e.g., AC 200-240 V, 50/60 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.
Pressing ON/STANDBY to select Standby mode does not fully shutdown the unit. If you do not intend to use the unit for an extended period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.
5. Preventing Hearing Loss Caution
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and head­phones can cause hearing loss.
6. Batteries and Heat Exposure War nin g
Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat as sunshine, fire or the like.
7. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands—Never han­dle this unit or its power cord while your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo dealer.
8. Handling Notes
• If you need to transport this unit, use the original
packaging to pack it how it was when you originally bought it.
• Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit for
a long time, because they may leave marks on the case.
• This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm after
prolonged use. This is normal.
• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may not
work properly the next time you turn it on, so be sure to use it occasionally.
• When you’ve finished using this unit, remove all
discs and turn off the power.
9. Installing this Unit
• Install this unit in a well-ventilated location.
• Ensure that there’s adequate ventilation all around this unit, especially if it’s installed in an audio rack. If the ventilation is inadequate, the unit may over­heat, leading to malfunction.
• Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heat sources, because its internal temperature may rise, shortening the life of the optical pickup.
• Avoid damp and dusty places, and places subject to vibrations from loudspeakers.
• Never put the unit on top of, or directly above a loudspeaker.
• Install this unit horizontally. Never use it on its side or on a sloping surface, because it may cause a mal­function.
• If you install this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the picture and sound quality may be affected. If this occurs, move this unit away from the TV, radio, or VCR.
10. To Obtain a Clear Picture—This unit is a hightech, precision device. If the lens on the optical pickup, or the disc drive mechanism becomes dirty or worn, the picture quality may be affected. To maintain the best picture quality, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or worn part replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. Contact your Onkyo dealer for details.
11. Moisture Condensation Moisture condensation may damage this unit.
Read the following carefully: Moisture may condense on the lens of the optical pickup, one of the most important parts inside this unit.
• Moisture condensation can occur in the following
situations: – The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm
place.
– A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air con-
ditioner is hitting the unit.
– In the summer, when this unit is moved from an
air conditioned room to a hot and humid place.
– The unit is used in a humid place.
• Do not use this unit when there’s the possibility of
moisture condensation occurring. Doing so may
damage your discs and certain parts inside this unit. If condensation does occur, remove all discs and leave this unit turned on for two to three hours. By this time, the unit will have warmed up and any condensation will have evaporated.
12. Region Codes—The BD/DVD standard uses region codes to control how discs can be played around the world, the world being divided into three regions (BD) or six regions (DVD). This unit will only play BD/ DVD discs that match its region code, which can be found on its rear panel.

13. About this Manual—This manual explains how to use all of this unit’s functions. Although the BD/DVD standard offers many special features, not all discs use them all, so depending on the disc being played, this unit may not respond to certain functions. See the disc’s sleeve notes for supported features.
