Precautions
Notes on Handling
When shipping the DVD video piayer, the original shipping
carton and packing materials come in handy. 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 video player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in
contact with the DVD video player for a long time. They will
leave marks on the cabinet.
The top and rear panels of the DVD video player may
become warm after a long period of use. This is not a
malfunction.
When the DVD video player is not in use, be sure to remove
the disc and turn off the power.
If you do not use the DVD video player for a long period, the
unit may not function properly in the future. Use the DVD
video player occasionally.
Notes on Location
When you place this DVD video player near a TV, radio, or
VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound
may be distorted. In this case, place the DVD video player
away from the TV, radio, or VCR.
Notes on Cleaning
Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the DVD video 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 video player.
Examples of moisture
Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases.
When you bring the DVD video player directly from a cold
place to a warm place.
When you use the DVD video 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 video player in a hot and
humid place just after you move the unit from an air
conditioned room.
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution,
wring the cloth well and wipe the unit. Use a dry cloth to wipe
it dry.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and benzine,
as they may damage the surface of the DVD video player.
• If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow
that product’s instructions.
Do not use the DVD video player when moisture condensation may occur.
If you use the DVD video player in such a situation, it may
damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect
the power cord of the DVD video player to the wall outlet,
turn on the DVD video player, and leave it for two or three
hours. After two or three hours, the DVD video player will
have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the
DVD video player connected to the wall outlet and moisture
condensation will seldom occur.
