Precautions

• If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On placement

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

• Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.

• Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.

• If the player is brought directly from a
