How to handle the LCD panel

Do not press hard or jolt the LCD panel. It may
cause the LCD panel glass to break and injury
may occur.
If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely
sure that you do not touch liquid in the panel.
This may cause skin inflammation.
If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately
gargle and consult with your doctor. Also, if the
liquid gets in your eyes or touches your skin,
consult with your doctor after rising for at least
15 minutes or longer in clean water.

PRECAUTIONS

• The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing.

• No objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
shall be placed on the apparatus.

• Do not use where there are extremes of
temperature (below 5°C or exceeding 35°C)
or where direct sunlight may strike it.

• Because of the DVD player’s extremely low
noise and wide dynamic range, there might be
a tendency to set the volume on the amplifier
unnecessarily high. Doing so may produce an
excessively large output from the amplifier
which could damage your speakers.

• Sudden changes in the ambient temperature
may cause condensation to form on the optical
lens inside the unit. If this happens, take out
the disc, leave the unit for about 2 hours, and
then proceed to operate.

• Do not install this equipment in a confined
space, such as a book case or built in cabinet.

• Do not place the unit on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket or table to prevent it
from falling.

• Keep the unit away from strong magnets,
heating sources, sunlight, excessive dust.

• Do not place any object on the top of the unit.
The cabinet of the unit warms up when it is
used for a long time, but it is not a malfunction.

• The rating label is located on the bottom of the
unit.

Either the main unit or remote control can
be operated. However, for convenience,
this instruction manual explains operation
using the remote control.

Note:
This handling description is printed prior to

When a part of the product specification must
be changed to improve operability or other
