Precautions
On safety
•Caution – The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.
•To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.
•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 player is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.
•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.
On placement
•Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat
•Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes.

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.
•When you move the player, take out any discs. If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.

Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
