Cautions on use

When moving the player

When moving the player, check first that there is no disc loaded and that the disc tray is closed. Then press STANDBY/ON on the player (or STANDBY/ON on the remote control), wait for the - OFF - indicator on the front panel display to turn off, then unplug the power cord. Moving the player with a disc inside it could result in damage.

Place of installation

Choose a stable place near the TV or ste‑ reo system being used with the player.

Do not place the player on top of a TV or color monitor. Also install it away from cassette decks and other devices easily affected by magnetic forces.

Avoid the following types of places:

Places exposed to direct sunlight

Humid or poorly ventilated places

Extremely hot places

Places exposed to vibrations

Dusty places

Places exposed to soot, steam or heat (kitchens, etc.)

Do not place objects on the player.

Do not place any objects on top of the player.

Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

Do not use the player on shaggy rugs, beds, sofas, etc., or wrapped in cloth, etc. Doing so will prevent the heat from dispersing, leading to damage.

Do not expose to heat.

Do not place the player on top of an ampli‑ fier or other component that generates heat. When placing it in a rack, to avoid the heat given off by the amplifier or other audio component, place it on a shelf below the amplifier.

Turn off the player’s power when not using it.

Depending on signal conditions, striped pat‑ terns may appear on a TV screen and noise may enter the sound of radio broadcasts when the player’s power is on. If this hap‑ pens, turn the player’s power off.

About condensation

If the player is moved suddenly from a cold place into a warm room (in winter, for example) or if the temperature in the room in which the player is installed rises suddenly due to a heater, etc., water droplets (conden‑ sation) may form inside (on operating parts and the lens). When condensation is pres‑ ent, the player will not operate properly and playback is not possible. Let the player stand at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours with the power turned on (the time depends on the extent of condensation). The water droplets will dissipate and playback will become pos‑ sible. Condensation can also occur in the summer if the player is exposed to the direct wind from an air-conditioner. If this happens, move the player to a different place.

Cleaning the product

Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when cleaning the player.

Clean the player using a soft cloth. For tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts water to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe again with a soft, dry cloth.

Alcohol, thinner, benzene, insecticides, etc., could cause the print or paint to peel off. Also, leaving rubber or vinyl products in contact with the player for long periods of time could mar the cabinet.

When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc., read the cautions included with the wipes carefully.
