Precautions

Road safety

Do not use the monitor unit and headphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. Doing so 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.

On safety

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

On power sources

• 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 adaptor, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

• Do not touch the AC power adaptor with wet hands. Doing so may cause shock hazard.

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

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 place the player directly on your lap. The temperature of the bottom of the player rises during normal operation. The heat can cause discomfort.

On placement

• Do not place the player in a confined space such as a bookshelf or similar unit.

• Do not cover the ventilation of the player with newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. And do not place the player on a soft surface, such as a rug.

• Do not place the player and adaptors in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, sand, moisture, rain, or mechanical shock, or in a car with its windows closed.

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

• Keep the player and discs away from equipment with strong magnet, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.

• Do not drop or apply strong shock. Do not place heavy objects on the player and accessories.

On operation

• 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 for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates. Wipe off moisture attached to the LCD surface with tissue etc. Turn on the power again later.

• Keep the lens on the player clean and do not touch it. Touching the lens may damage the lens and cause the player to malfunction. Leave the disc lid closed except when you insert or remove discs.

• Turn off the power before disconnecting the AC power adaptor, the car battery adaptor. Failure to do so may cause a malfunction.
