Precautions

Road safety

Do not use the monitor unit and headphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. Doing so may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play your headsets at high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

On safety

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the player and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

•The power requirements of this unit are indicated on the AC adaptor. Check that the unit’s operating voltage is identical with your local power supply.

•If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

•Do not touch the AC power cord or the AC adaptor with wet hands. Doing so may cause shock hazard.

•Use a commercially available AC plug adaptor, if necessary, depending on the design of the wall outlet.

On temperature increases

Heat may build up inside the player during charging or if it is being used for a long time. This is not a malfunction.

On placement

•Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the player.

•Do not place the player in a confined space such as a bookshelf or similar unit.

•Do not cover the ventilation of the player with newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. And do not place the player on a soft surface, such as a rug.

•Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, sand, moisture, rain, or mechanical shock, or in a car with its windows closed.

•Do not place the player in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.

•Keep the player and discs away from equipment with strong magnet, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.

•Do not place heavy objects on the player.

On operation

•If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the player. Should this occur, the player may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the player turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.

•Keep the lens on the player clean and do not touch it. Touching the lens may damage the lens and cause the player to malfunction. Leave the disc lid closed except when you insert or remove discs.

On Liquid Crystal Display

•Although manufactured with high precision technology, the LCD may occasionally display dots of various colors. That is not a malfunction.

•Do not wipe the LCD surface with wet cloth. If water enters, a malfunction may result.

•Do not place or drop any object onto the LCD surface. Also, do not apply pressure from hands or elbows.

•Do not damage the LCD surface with a sharp edged tool.

•Do not close the LCD panel with a pen, etc., on the disc lid.
