been included with this product.
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 •

unplug the product, wait for two 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.
•
Store the accessories (battery, etc.) in a •
location safely out of the reach of children.
Do not install the product in an unstable •
location such as a shaky self, a slanted
floor, or a location exposed to vibration.
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,

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.

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.

IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY
INFORMATION FOR 3D PICTURES.
Read and understand the following safety
information before using the 3D function.
Some viewers may experience discomfort •
while viewing 3D TV such as dizziness,
nausea, and headaches.
If you experience any such symptom,
stop viewing 3D TV, remove the 3D Active
Glasses, and rest.
Watching 3D images for an extended •
period of time may cause eye strain. If you
feel eye strain, stop viewing 3D TV, remove
your 3D Active Glasses, and rest.
A responsible adult should frequently check •
on children who are using the 3D function.
If there are any reports of tired eyes,
headaches, dizziness, or nausea, have the
child stop viewing 3D TV and rest.
Do not use the 3D Active Glasses for other •
purposes (Such as general eyeglasses,
sunglasses, protective goggles, etc.).
Do not use the 3D function or 3D Active •
Glasses while walking or moving around.
Using the 3D function or 3D Active Glasses
while moving around may cause you to
bump into objects, trip, and/or fall, and
cause serious injury.
If you want to enjoy 3D content, connect •
a 3D device (3D compliant AV receiver or
TV) to the player's HDMI OUT port using a
high-speed HDMI cable. Put on 3D glasses
before playing the 3D content.
The player outputs 3D signals only through •
HDMI cable connected to the HDMI OUT
port.
As the video resolution in 3D play mode •
is fixed according to the resolution of the
original 3D video, you can not change the
resolution to your preference.
Some functions such as BD Wise, screen •
size adjustment, and resolution adjustment
may not operate properly in 3D play mode.
You must use a high-speed HDMI cable for •
proper output of the 3D signal.
Stay at least three times the width of the •
screen from the TV when watching 3D
images. For example, if you have a 46-inch
screen, stay 138 inches (11.5 feet) from the
screen.
Place the 3D video screen at eye level for •
the best 3D picture.
When the player is connected to some 3D •
devices, the 3D effect may not function
properly.
This player does not convert 2D content •
into 3D.

NOTES
✎
`
If you use an HDMI-to-DVI cable to connect to your display device, you must also connect the Digital Audio
Out on the player to an audio system to hear audio.
`
An HDMI cable outputs digital video and audio, so you don't need to connect an audio cable.
`
Depending on your TV, certain HDMI output resolutions may not work. Please refer to the user manual of
your TV.
`
When you connect the player to your TV using the HDMI cable or to a new TV, and then turn it on for the
first time, the player automatically sets the HDMI output resolution to the highest supported by the TV.
`
A long HDMI cable may cause screen noise. If this occurs, set HDMI Deep Colour to Off in the menu.
`
To view video in the HDMI 720p, 1080i, or 1080p output mode, you must use a High speed HDMI cable.
`
HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.
If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), random noise appears on
the screen.
