IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Your Player is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits. Misuse
may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent your Player from being damaged, the
following instructions should be observed for the installation, use, and maintenance of
your Player. Read the following safety instructions before operating your Player. Keep these
instructions in a safe place for future reference.

To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before
connecting other components to your Player.

• Read these instructions.

• Keep these instructions.

• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do not use this apparatus near water.

• Clean only with a dry cloth.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong
are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution
when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally or has
been dropped.

• Unplug the power cord before cleaning your Player.

• When moving your Player from an area of low temperature to an area of high
temperature, condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on your Player
to avoid causing fire, electric shock, or component damage.

• A distance of at least three feet should be maintained between your Player and any
heat source, such as a radiator, heater, oven, amplifier etc. Do not install your Player
close to smoke. Operating your Player close to smoke or moisture may cause fire or
electric shock.

• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation.
To ensure reliable operation of your Player and to protect it from overheating, be sure
these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place your Player in a bookcase or
cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

• Never push any object into the slots and openings on your Player cabinet. Do not place
any objects on the top of your Player. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquids on your Player.

• Your Player should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer
or local power company.

• Do not apply pressure or throw objects at your Player. This may compromise the integrity
of the display. The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover user abuse or improper
installations.

• The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage than the voltage
specified. For more information, contact your dealer.

• When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into your Player. To totally
disconnect power, unplug the power cord.

• The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of un-isolated, dangerous voltage within the inside of
your Player that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.

• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or
electric shock.

• The wall socket should be installed near your Player and easily accessible.

• Only power of the marked voltage can be used for your Player. Any other voltage than
the specified voltage may cause fire or electric shock.

• Do not touch the power cord during lightning. To avoid electric shock, avoid handling
the power cord during electrical storms.

• Unplug your Player during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long period of
time. This will protect your Player from damage due to power surges.

• Do not attempt to repair or service your Player yourself. Opening or removing the back
cover may expose you to high voltages, electric shock, and other hazards. If repair is
required, contact your dealer and refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• WARNING: Keep your Player away from moisture. Do not expose your Player to rain or
moisture. If water penetrates into your Player, unplug the power cord and contact your
dealer. Continuous use in this case may result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not use your Player if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke or odor becomes
apparent, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer immediately. Do not try to
repair your Player yourself.

• Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If your Player is dropped and the
housing is damaged, the internal components may function abnormally. Unplug the
power cord immediately and contact your dealer for repair. Continued use of your
Player may cause fire or electric shock.

• Do not install your Player in an area with heavy dust or high humidity. Operating your
Player in environments with heavy dust or high humidity may cause fire or electric shock.

• Follow instructions for moving your Player. Ensure that the power cord and any other
cables are unplugged before moving your Player.

• When unplugging your Player, hold the AC/DC power adapter, not the cord. Pulling on
the power cord may damage the wires inside the cord and cause fire or electric shock.
When your Player will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power
cord.

• To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with wet hands.

• Insert batteries in accordance with instructions. Incorrect polarities may cause the
batteries to leak which can damage the remote control or injure the operator. Do not
expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

• If any of the following occurs, contact the dealer:

- The power cord fails or frays.

- Liquid sprays or any object drops into your Player.

- Your Player is exposed to rain or other moisture.

- Your Player is dropped or damaged in any way.

- The performance of your Player changes substantially.

• This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

• The mains plug or appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect
device shall remain readily operable.

• CAUTION - These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained
in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated DANGEROUS
VOLTAGE within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient

h

magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert

the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.
