Precautions
Notes on the power cord
• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended
period of time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A small
amount of power (2.0 W) is always consumed while the power
cord is connected to the wall outlet.
• When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug, not the power cord.
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!
Avoid moisture, water and dust
• Do not place the unit in moist or dusty places.
• If water gets inside the unit, turn off the power and remove the
plug from the wall outlet, then consult your dealer. Using the
unit in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock.
Avoid high temperatures
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or place it near a
heating device.
Notes on installation
• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too
cold between 5°C and 35°C.
• Leave sufficient distance between the player and the TV.
• Do not install the player in a place subject to vibrations.
• Do not put heavy objects on the player.
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 objects, such as wires, hairpins,
coins, etc. into the player.
