VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the
sound may be distorted. In this case, move he DVD
player away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.
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 benzene, as they may damage the surface of the
DVD player.

Notes on Moisture Condensation

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 opti-
cal pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most cru-
cial internal parts of the DVD player.
Moisture condensation occurs during the
following cases.
When you bring the DVD player directly from a
cold place to a warm place.
When you use the DVD player in a room where
you just turned on the heater, or a place where the
cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the

In summer, when you use the DVD player in a
hot and humid place just after you move the unit
from an air conditioned room.

and leave it "ON" for two or three hours. After two
or three hours, the DVD player will have warmed
up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD
