• Do not wrap the player in a cloth or blanket during use as it may cause malfunction or serious accidents.
• If the player causes interference to radio or television reception, turn off the player or move it away from the radio or television.
• Keep the player and discs away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loud­speakers.
• If the player is brought directly from a cold to warm loca­tion, or is placed in a very damp place, moisture may con­dense on the lenses of the player.

warm!
On handing the LCD screen
• The LCD is manufactured using high precision 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 scratch the LCD or exert pressure on it. This could cause a malfunction.
• Using the player in low temperature conditions may pro­duce a residual image on the screen. This is not a mal­function. When the player returns to normal temperature, the screen returns to normal.
• A residual image may appear on the screen if the same image is displayed for a lengthy period of time. The resid­ual image disappears in a while. If you are going to leave the player for a long time, turn off the power.
• The screen becomes warm during operation. This is nor­mal and does not indicate a malfunction.
On headphones
Preventing hearing damaged
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.
Caring 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.
On adjusting 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 the monitor unit and 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.
• Do not install the monitor display where viewable by the driver.
• Some states restrict the use of monitors and televisions in vehicles. Where use is permitted, the units should not be installed or operated so as to be viewable by the driver.
