Introduction

Notes on handling

Important cautions

Installation of the unit

Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold (between 5˚C and 35˚C, 41˚F and 95˚F).

Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.

Do not use the player in a place subject to vibrations.

Power cord

Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!

A small amount of power (1.5 W) is always consumed while the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

When unplugging the player from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.

To prevent malfunction of the unit

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.

Do not insert any metallic object into the unit.

Do not use any non-standard shape disc available on the market, because it may damage the unit.

Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or paste on it, because damage to the unit may result.

Note about copyright laws

Please check the copyright laws in your country before recording from discs. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws.

Note about the copyguard system

The DVD Video disc is protected by the copyguard system. When you connect the unit to your VCR directly, the copyguard system activates and the picture may not be played back correctly.

Safety precautions

Avoid moisture, water and dust

Do not place your player in moist or dusty places.

Avoid high temperatures

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or place it near a heating device.

When you’re away

When away on travel or otherwise for an extended period of time, remove the plug from the wall outlet.

Do not insert foreign objects into the unit

Do not insert wires, hairpins, coins, etc. into the unit.

Do not block the vents

Blocking the vents may damage the unit.

Care of the cabinet

When cleaning the unit, use a soft cloth and follow the relevant instructions on the use of chemically-coated cloths. Do not use benzene, thinner or other organic solvents and disinfectants. These may cause deformation or discoloring.

If water gets inside the unit

Turn off the power switch and remove the plug from the wall outlet, then call the store where you made your purchase. Using the unit in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock.
