Precautions

Usage and storage

•Use only the specified AC adapter.

•Never short-circuit any of the connectors.

•Do not leave the unit in locations that can become hot (over 60°C), such as in a closed car or exposed to direct sunlight.

•Protect the player from water and moisture.

Overheating

If the unit seems to be running hotter than normal, turn off power to the player and disconnect the AC adapter. Then contact the Web site described on “Getting Help” (page 30).

Condensation

If the unit is brought from a cold to a warm location, or if ambient temperature suddenly rises, moisture condensation may occur on the outer surface and in the interior of the unit. Do not use the unit in such a condition, as this can cause damage. If condensation has occurred, leave the unit for about an hour without turning the power on.

Disk handling

To protect the data on the supplied CD-ROM, observe the following precautions.

•Do not attach paper stickers or similar to the disc, and do not scratch or otherwise damage the disc.

A disc label may come off while the disc is inserted in the CD-ROM drive of the computer, causing serious damage. To prevent this, make sure that any label is properly attached before using the disc. Sony Corporation does not accept any liability for damage caused by improper labels or by media damage. Carefully follow the instructions of any label-printing software and label products. Use of such products occurs entirely at the risk of the user.

•Do not touch the data side of the disc (opposite the label).

•Do not store the disc in locations subject to high humidity, high temperatures, direct sunlight, or high levels of dust.

•Take care not to spill any liquid on the disc.

•Return the disc to its case when not in use in order to prevent data damage.
