Precautions

On safety

• This set is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the set itself has been turned off.

• Completely disconnect the power cord (mains lead) from the wall socket if the unit is not going to be used for an extended period of time. When unplugging the unit, always grip the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• Should any solid objects or liquid fall into the player, unplug the player and have it checked by qualiﬁed personnel before operating it any further.

• Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN 12 V (external power input) jack.

On temperature increases

• Heat may build up inside the player during charging or if it is being used for a long time. This is not a malfunction.

• Do not put the player in the carrying pouch when it is operating.

On handling the player

• Keep the lens on the player clean and do not touch it. If you do so, the lens may be damaged and the player will not operate properly. Leave the disc compartment lid closed except when you insert or remove discs.

• Do not expose the player to mechanical shock, such as by dropping or compressing the player. Do not put any heavy object on top of the player. The player and the disc may be damaged.

• Do not leave the player in a location: – near heat sources – in a place subject to direct sunlight,

excessive dust or sand, moisture, rain, mechanical shock

– on an uneven surface

– in a car with its windows closed – near equipment utilizing strong

magnetism such as a microwave oven or megavolume speakers

• If the player causes interference to radio or television reception, turn off the player or move it away from the radio or television.

Moisture condensation

If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp place, moisture may condense on the lenses of the player. Moisture condensation may not only cause the player to malfunction, but also damage the disc and the parts of the player. Therefore, remove the disc when you are not using the player. When moisture condensation occurs, remove the disc and leave the player for a few hours until the moisture evaporates. If the player does not operate properly after a few hours, consult your Sony dealer.

On handling the LCD screen

• The LCD is manufactured using highprecision technology. You may, however, see tiny black points and/or bright points (red, blue, green) that continuously appear on the LCD. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction.

• Do not wipe the LCD with a wet cloth. Liquid may seep into the LCD and cause a malfunction.

• Do not put or drop anything on top of the LCD. Do not exert pressure on the LCD with your hand or elbow.

• If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense on the LCD. Should this occur, wipe the condensation off thoroughly before using the player again. Sheets of tissue paper are recommended. When the LCD is cold, and moisture condenses again even after wiping it away, wait until the LCD surface becomes as warm as the room temperature.

Page 7

On the rechargeable battery

• When the battery life of a fully charged rechargeable battery becomes about half the normal life, the battery needs to be replaced with a new one. Consult your nearest Sony dealer. (You must not replace the battery by yourself.)

•

CAUTION

: The battery used in this device may present a ﬁre or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not disassemble, heat above 100 ºC (212 ºF) or incinerate. Use of another battery may present a risk of ﬁre or explosion.

• Dispose of used battery according to the regulation of recycling or waste.

• Keep away from children.

• Do not disassemble and do not dispose of the battery in ﬁre.

On charging

• The charging time will vary according to the condition under which the battery is used.

• Because of the battery characteristics, the capacity of the rechargeable battery may be smaller than normal when it is used for the ﬁrst time or after a long period of disuse. In this case, charge and discharge the battery several times. The normal battery life will be restored.

On the speaker cradle

Do not place coins or other metallic objects on the cradle. If the terminal on the cradle accidentally comes into contact with a metallic object, it may short-circuit and begin to heat up.

On the headphones

• If the supplied headphones cause any skin trouble, immediately stop using them and consult a doctor.

• Sound will leak from the supplied headphones if you turn up the volume too high. Keep the volume at a moderate level so that you do not disturb other people around you and you can hear when you are being called. Keep this in mind especially in noisy places where one tends to turn up the volume.

 On adjusting the volume

Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level section is played.

 Road safety

Do not use headphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a trafﬁc hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play your headsets at high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

 Preventing hearing damage

Avoid using headphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.

 Consideration for others

Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be considerate to the people around you.

Page 8

On cleaning

 Casing

Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine as it may mar the ﬁnish of the casing.

 Headphones plug

Clean the headphones plug periodically so that you can always enjoy good sound.

 Discs

Do not use commercially available cleaning discs. This may cause a malfunction.

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. Projection televisions are especially susceptible to this.

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