Notes on moisture condensation

Moisture condensation damages the Blu-ray
Disc™/DVD player. Please read the following
carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold
drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the
outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on
the optical pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial
internal parts of the Blu-ray Disc™/DVD player.
Moisture condensation occurs during the
following cases.
When you bring the Blu-ray Disc™/DVD player directly from a cold
place to a warm place.
When you use the Blu-ray Disc™/DVD player in a room where you
just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the
air conditioner directly hits the unit.

and humid place just after you move the unit from an air
conditioned room.
When you use the Blu-ray Disc™/DVD player in a humid place.
Do not use the Blu-ray Disc™/DVD player when

damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the
power cord of the Blu-ray Disc™/DVD player to the wall outlet, turn
on the Blu-ray Disc™/DVD player, and leave it for two or three
hours. After two or three hours, the Blu-ray Disc™/DVD player will
have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the Blu-ray
Disc™/DVD player connected to the wall outlet and moisture
condensation will seldom occur.
