Turn the power off when not

De p ending on the conditions of the TV b r oadcast signals,
st r i p ed p atte r ns may a pp ea r on the sc r een when the TV is
tu r ned on while the p laye r ’s p owe r is tu r ned on. This is not
a malfunction with the p laye r o r TV. If this ha pp ens, tu r n
the p laye r ’s p owe r off. In the same way, noise may be

Condensation
If the p laye r is moved suddenly f r om a cold p lace into a

condensation is pr esent, the p laye r will not o p e r ate
pr o p e r ly and p layback is not p ossible. Let the p laye r stand
at r oom tem p e r atu r e fo r 1 o r 2 hou r s with the p owe r

condensation). The wate r d r o p lets will dissi p ate and
