Precautions

Notes on handling

Do not shock the LCD monitor. It may cause unit
damage and malfunction.
Do not use the player in a place subject to vibration.
Neglecting this may cause malfunction of the player
or damage to the disc.
Do not leave the player in a vehicle. Rise or drop in
temperature may result in malfunction of the player.
When transporting 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 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 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.

E

Moisture condensation occurs during the
following cases.

When you transport 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 air
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.

Introduction

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 instructions.
When cleaning the LCD monitor, 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.

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 AC adapter, 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.

Wait!

Occasionally, some picture noise not usually visible during a normal broadcast may
appear on the TV screen while playing a DVD video disc because the high
resolution pictures on these discs include a lot of information. While the amount of
noise depends on the TV you use with this player, you should generally reduce the
sharpness adjustment on the connected TV when viewing DVD video discs.

About the screen saver

If you pause a picture of a DVD video disc and leave it

About the LCD

• The color LCD is manufactured using extremely high
precision technology, but even so may include
certain pixels that do not operate properly (that do
not light, that remain lit constantly, etc.). We do our
best to keep the number of these defective pixels to
a minimum, but please understand that they cannot
be completely eliminated even with the most
advanced manufacturing technologies available
today.

• The fluorescent tube which illuminates the panel
from the inside will deteriorate with use. (The
standard life length is about 10,000 hours of
continuous use at normal temperature. This is
referential information only and is not warranted.)
When the LCD becomes dim, flickers, or does not
illuminate, contact your dealer for replacement.

• The brightness of the LCD monitor differs slightly
depending on the viewing angles. Adjust the LCD
monitor angle to obtain the best viewing. (The
recommended viewing angle is 90 degrees to the
monitor.)
