from the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.
Protect the player from moisture(i.e. vases) , and excess heat(e.g.fireplace) or
equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields (i.e.speakers...).
Disconnect the power cable from the AC supply if the player malfunctions.
Your player is not intended for industrial use.
Use of this product is for personal use only.
Condensation may occur if your player or disc has been stored in a cold
atmosphere.

A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the center unit to
prevent abnormal temperature inside the center unit, thus assuring
normal operation. The cooling fan automatically starts rotating to
supply external cool air to the inside of the center unit when the
internal temperature exceeds the specified limit.
For safety, observe the following carefully.
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor
ventilation could overheat and damage the canter unit.
• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or
holes. (If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat
may not be able to escape.)
