Notes on handling

When shipping the DVD video player, the original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the DVD video player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products to contact the DVD video player for prolonged period. They will leave marks on the finish.

The top and rear panels of the DVD video player may become warm after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.

When the DVD video player is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and turn off the power.

If you do not use the DVD video player for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the DVD video player occasionally.

Notes on locating

Place the DVD video player on a level surface. Do not use it on a shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbling table or inclined stand. The loaded disc may become disaligned and damage the DVD video player.

When you place this DVD video player near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, place the DVD video player away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

Notes on cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry.

Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and benzine, as they may damage the surface of the DVD video player.

If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that product’s instructions.

Notes on moisture condensation

Moisture condensation damages the DVD video 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 DVD video player.

When you use the DVD video 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.

When you use the DVD video player in a humid place.

It’s too warm!

Do not use the DVD video player when moisture condensation may occur.

If you use the DVD video player in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the DVD video player to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD video player, and leave it for two or three hours. After two or three hours, the DVD video player will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD video player connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.
