•Install the player so that the AC power cord can be unplugged from the wall socket immediately in the event of trouble.

•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.

For the model supplied with the AC plug adaptor

If the AC plug of your unit does not fit into the wall outlet, attach the supplied AC plug adaptor.
