1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with a dry cloth.

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 when the 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.

Disc Storage & Management

• Holding Discs

- Fingerprints or scratches on a disc may reduce sound and picture quality or cause skipping

- Avoid touching the surface of a disc where data has been recorded.

- Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface.

- Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

• Cleaning Discs

- If you get fingerprints or dirt on a disc, clean it with a mild detergent diluted in water and wipe with a soft cloth.

- When cleaning, wipe gently from the inside to the outside of the disc.

• Disc Storage `Do not keep in direct sunlight. `Keep in a cool ventilated area. `Keep in a clean protection jacket and

store vertically.

Handling Cautions

• Do not expose this apparatus to dripping

or splashing. Do not put objects filled with liquids, such as vases on the apparatus.

• To turn this apparatus off completely, you

must pull the power plug out of the wall socket. Consequently, the power plug must be easily and readily accessible at all times.

• Do not plug multiple electric devices into

the same wall socket. Overloading a socket can cause it to overheat, resulting in a fire.

• Before connecting other components to

this player, be sure to turn them off.

•

If you move your player suddenly from a cold place to a warm place, condensation may occur on the operating parts and lens and cause abnormal disc playback. If this occurs, unplug the player, wait for two hours, and then connect the plug to the power outlet. Then, insert the disc, and try to play back again.

• If the product makes an abnormal noise

or produces a burning smell or smoke, turn off the power switch immediately and disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet. Then, contact the nearest customer service center for technical assistance. Do not use the product. Using the product as it is may cause a fire or an electric shock.
