• Do not expose this apparatus to rain
or place it near water (near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, or pool, etc.).
If this apparatus accidentally gets wet,
unplug it and contact an authorized dealer
immediately.

• This apparatus uses batteries. In your
community, there might be environmental
regulations that require you to dispose of
these batteries properly. Please contact
your local authorities for disposal or
recycling information.

• Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords or adaptors beyond their capacity,
since this can result in fire or electric shock.

• Route power-supply cords so that they
are not likely to be walked on or pinched
by items placed on or against them. Pay
particular attention to cords at the plug
end, at wall outlets, and the point where
they exit from the apparatus.

• To protect this apparatus from a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug
it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the set due to lightning and
power line surges.

• Before connecting the AC power cord
to the DC adaptor outlet, make sure the
voltage designation of the DC adaptor
corresponds to the local electrical supply.

• Never insert anything metallic into the open
parts of this apparatus. Doing so may
create a danger of electric shock.

• To avoid electric shock, never touch the
inside of this apparatus. Only a qualified
technician should open this apparatus.

• Make sure to plug the power cord in until
it is firmly seated. When unplugging the
power cord from a wall outlet, always pull
on the power cord's plug. Never unplug by
pulling on the power cord. Do not touch
the power cord with wet hands.

it immediately and contact an authorized
dealer or service center.

• Maintenance of Cabinet.

- Before connecting other components to
this product, be sure to turn them off.

- If you move your product suddenly from a
cold place to a warm place, condensation

hours, and then connect the plug to the
power outlet. Then, insert the disc, and try
to play back again.

• Be sure to pull the power plug out of the
outlet if the product is to remain unused or
if you are leaving the house for an extended
period of time (especially when children,
elderly, or disabled people will be left alone
in the house).

- Accumulated dust can cause an electric
shock, an electric leakage, or a fire by
causing the power cord to generate sparks
and heat or the insulation to deteriorate.

•

Contact an authorized service center for
information if you intend to install your
product in a location with heavy dust, high
or low temperatures, high humidity, chemical
substances, or where it will operate 24
hours a day such as in an airport, a train
station, etc. Failing to do so may lead to
serious damage of your product.

• Use only a properly grounded plug and wall
outlet.

- An improper ground may cause electric
shock or equipment damage. (Class l
Equipment only.)

• To turn this apparatus off completely, you
must disconnect it from the wall outlet.
Consequently, the wall outlet and power
plug must be readily accessible at all times.

• Do not allow children to hang on the
product.

• Do not drop or strike the product. If the
product is damaged, disconnect the power
cord and contact a service center.

• To clean this apparatus, unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet and wipe the
product using a soft, dry cloth. Do not
use any chemicals such as wax, benzene,
alcohol, thinners, insecticide, air fresheners,
lubricants, or detergent. These chemicals

or erase the printing on the product.

• Do not expose this apparatus to dripping
or splashing. Do not put objects filled with
liquids, such as vases on the apparatus.

• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

• Do not plug multiple electric devices into

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

• There is danger of an explosion if you
replace the batteries used in the remote
with the wrong type of battery. Replace
only with the same or equivalent type.

NOTES

`If the Region number of a Blu-ray Disc/DVDs

does not correspond to the Region number of
this product, the product cannot play the disc.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied
with a molded plug incorporating a fuse. The
value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face
of the plug.
If it requires replacing, a fuse approved to
BS1362 of the same rating must be used.

Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted
if the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse
cover is required, it must be of the same colour
as the pin face of the plug. Replacement
covers are available from your dealer.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power
points in your house or the cable is not long
enough to reach a power point, you should
obtain a suitable safety approved extension
lead or consult your dealer for assistance.

However, if there is no alternative to cutting
off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely
dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug
to a mains jack, as there is a risk of shock
hazard from the bared flexible cord.

To disconnect the apparatus from the mains, the
plug must be pulled out from the mains socket,
therefore the mains plug shall be readily operable.

The product unit accompanying this user
manual is licenced under certain intellectual
property rights of certain third parties.
