Precautions

This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits set out in the EMC
Directive using a connection cable shorter
than 3 metres.

On placement

• Place the player in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the
player.

• To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover the
ventilation opening of the appliance with
newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.

• Do not expose the appliance to naked flame
sources (for example, lighted candles).

• Do not install this player in a confined space,
such as a bookshelf or similar unit.

• Do not place the player outdoors, in
vehicles, on ships, or on other vessels.

• If the player is brought directly from a cold
to a warm location, or is placed in a very
damp room, moisture may condense on the
lenses inside the player. Should this occur,
the player may not operate properly. In this
case, remove the disc and leave the player
turned on for about half an hour until the
moisture evaporates.

• Do not install the player in an inclined
position. It is designed to be operated in a
horizontal position only.

• Do not place metal objects in front of the
front panel. It may limit reception of radio
waves.

• Do not place the player in a place where
medical equipment is in use. It may cause a
malfunction of medical instruments.

• If you use a pacemaker or other medical
device, consult your physician or the
manufacturer of your medical device before
using the wireless LAN function.

• Do not place heavy or unstable objects on
the player.

• Do not place any objects other than discs on
the disc tray. Doing so may cause damage to
the player or the object.

• Take out any discs from the tray when you
move the player. If you don’t, the disc may
be damaged.

• Disconnect the AC adaptor and all other
cables from the player when you move the
player.

On power sources

• The player is not disconnected from the AC
power source as long as it is con nected to the
wall outlet, even if the player itself has been
turned off.

• Disconnect the player from the wall outlet if
you are not going to use the player for a long
time. To disconnect the AC adaptor, grasp
the plug itself; never pull the cord.

• Observe following points to prevent the AC
adaptor being damaged. Do not use the AC
adaptor if it is damaged, as doing so may
result in an electric shock or fire.
– Do not pinch the AC adaptor between the

player and wall, shelf, etc.

– Do not put anything heavy on the AC

adaptor or pull on the AC adaptor itself.

On AC adaptor

• Use the supplied AC adaptor for this player,
as other adaptors may cause a malfunction.

• Do not disassemble or reverse-engineer.

• Do not confine the AC adaptor in a closed
place such as a bookshelf or an AV cabinet.

• Do not connect the AC adaptor to a
traveler’s electric transformer, which may
generate heat and cause a malfunction.

• Do not drop or apply shock.

On adjusting volume

Do not turn up the volume while listening to a
section with very low level inputs or no audio
signals. Your ears and the speakers may be
damaged when the sound level reaches the
peak.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a
soft cloth. Do not use any type of abras ive pad,
scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or
benzine.

On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners

Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners
(including wet or spray types). These may
cause the apparatus to malfunction.

On replacement of parts

In the events that this player is repaired,
repaired parts may be collected for reuse or
recycling purposes.

On connecting to the HDMI OUT jack

Observe the following as improper handling
may damage the HDMI OUT jack and the
connector.

• Carefully align the HDMI OUT jack on the
rear of the player and the HDMI connector
by checking their shapes. Make sure the
connector is not upside down or tilted.

• Be sure to disconnect the HDMI cable when
moving the player.

• Hold the HDMI connector straight when
connecting or disconnecting the HDMI
cable. Do not twist or force the HDMI
connector into the HDMI OUT jack.

On watching 3D video images
(BDP-S5200/BX520 only)

Some people may experience discomfort
(such as eye strain, fatigue, or nausea) while
watching 3D video images. Sony recommends
that all viewers take regular breaks while
watching 3D video images. The length and
frequency of necessary breaks will vary from
person to person. You must decide what works
best. If you experience any discomfort, you
should stop watching the 3D video images
until the discomfort ends; consult a doctor if
you believe necessary. You should also
review (i) the instruction manual and/or the
caution message of any other device used
with, or Blu-ray Disc contents played with this
product and (ii) our website
(http://esupport.sony.com/) for the latest
information. The vision of young children
(especially those under six years old) is still
under development. Consult your docto r (such
as a pediatrician or eye doctor) before
allowing young children to watch 3D video
images. Adults should supervise young
children to ensure they follow the
recommendations listed above.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: This player is capable of holding
a still video image or on-screen display
image on your television screen
indefinitely. If you leave the still video
image or on-screen display image
displayed on your TV for an extended
period of time you risk permanent damage
to your television screen. Plasma display
panel televisions and projection
televisions are susceptible to this.

If you have any questions or problems
concerning your player, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
