Precautions

Notes on handling

Do not shock the LCD panel. It may cause unit damage and malfunction. When shipping the player, the original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was originally packaged at the factory. Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the player for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish. The top and rear panels of the player may become warm after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction. When the player is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and turn off the power. If you do not use the player for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the player occasionally.

Notes on locating

When you place this player near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, move the player away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

Notes on cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and benzine, as they may damage the surface of the player. If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that product’s instr uctions. When cleaning the LCD panel, use a soft, dry cloth.

To obtain a clear picture

The player is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

Notes on moisture condensation

Moisture condensation damages the player. Please read the following carefully.

Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the player.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases.

When you bring the player directly from a cold place to a warm place. When you use the player in a room where you just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit. In summer, when you use the player in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room. When you use the player in a humid place.

Do not use the player when moisture condensation may occur.

If you use the player in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the player to the wall outlet, turn on the player, and leave it for two or three hours. After two or three hours, the player will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the player connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.
