always pull the plug, not the power cord.
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!
• Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the
player or moving the player.
• Do not alter, twist or pull the power cord, or put
anything heavy on it, which may cause fire, electric
shock, or other accidents.
• If the cord is damaged, consult a dealer and have the
power cord replaced with a new one.
Avoid moisture, water, dust, and high temperatures
• Do not place the player in moist or dusty places.
• If water gets inside the player, turn off the power and

your dealer. Using the player in this state may cause
a fire or electrical shock.
