Do NOT handle the power cord with wet
hands.
Avoid moisture, water and dust
Do not place the player in a moist
environment or in an area where there
might be an excessive amount of dust build
up (e.g. near a fan).

turn off the power and unplug the unit from
the wall outlet immediately. Consult your
dealer or an authorized repair station.
Using the unit in this state may lead to fire
or electrical shock.
