•Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
•Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.
•Place the player on top of or immediately next to the television or monitor as you may experience interference.
•Use in a kitchen or other room where the player may be exposed to smoke or steam.
•Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth — this may prevent proper cooling of the unit.

Moving the player
If you need to move this unit, first remove the disc, if there’s one loaded, and close the disc tray. Next, press STANDBY/ON to switch the power to standby, checking that the power off indication in the display goes off. Wait at least 10 seconds. Lastly, disconnect the power cord.
Never lift or move the unit during playback — discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.
Screen sizes and disc formats
Televisions, too, come in different aspect ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and ‘widescreen’ 16:9.
Widescreen TV users
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Aspect Ratio setting (page 41) of this player should be set to 16:9 (Widescreen).
When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can use the TV controls to select how the picture is presented. Your TV may offer various zoom and stretch options; see the instructions that came with your TV for details.
Please note that some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even though you have a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a ‘letter box’ style with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.
Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the TV Aspect Ratio setting (page 41) of this player should be set to 4:3 (Standard).
