Cautions on use

When moving the player

When moving the player, check first that there is no 
disc loaded and that the disc tray is closed. Then 
press 

 

STANDBY/ON

 on the player (or 

 

STANDBY/

ON

 on the remote control), wait for the 

OFF

 indicator 

on the front panel display to turn off, then unplug the 
power cord. Moving the player with a disc inside it 
could result in damage.

Place of installation

 

Choose a stable place near the TV or stereo system 
being used with the player.

 

Do not place the player on top of a TV or color 
monitor. Also install it away from cassette decks 
and other devices easily affected by magnetic 
forces.

Avoid the following types of places:

 

Places exposed to direct sunlight

 

Humid or poorly ventilated places

 

Extremely hot places

 

Places exposed to vibrations

 

Places in which there is much dust or cigarette 
smoke

 

Places exposed to soot, steam or heat (kitchens, 
etc.)

Do not place objects on the player.

Do not place any objects on top of the player.

Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

Do not use the player on shaggy rugs, beds, sofas, 
etc., or wrapped in cloth, etc. Doing so will prevent the 
heat from dispersing, leading to damage.

Do not expose to heat.

Do not place the player on top of an amplifier or other 
component that generates heat. When placing it in 
a rack, to avoid the heat given off by the amplifier or 
other audio component, place it on a shelf below the 
amplifier.

Turn off the player’s power when not 
using it.

Depending on signal conditions, striped patterns may 
appear on a TV screen and noise may enter the sound 
of radio broadcasts when the player’s power is on. If 
this happens, turn the player’s power off.

About condensation

If the player is moved suddenly from a cold place 
into a warm room (in winter, for example) or if the 
temperature in the room in which the player is installed 
rises suddenly due to a heater, etc., water droplets 
(condensation) may form inside (on operating parts 
and the lens). When condensation is present, the 
player will not operate properly and playback is not 
possible. Let the player stand at room temperature 
for 1 or 2 hours with the power turned on (the time 
depends on the extent of condensation). The water 
droplets will dissipate and playback will become 
possible. Condensation can also occur in the summer 
if the player is exposed to the direct wind from an 
air-conditioner. If this happens, move the player to a 
different place.

When a USB device is connected

Problem

Possible causes and solutions

USB device is not recognized.

 

Turn the power off, then disconnect and reconnect the USB device.

 

This player does not support USB hubs. Connect the USB device directly.

 

This player only supports USB mass storage class devices.

 

This player supports portable flash memory and digital audio playback 
devices.

 

Only the FAT16 and FAT32 file systems are supported. Other file systems 
(exFAT, NTFS, etc.) are not supported.

 

If the USB device is equipped with an AC adapter, use the USB device 
with the AC adapter connected.

displayed or properly displayed.

 

The maximum displayable number of characters for the folder and file 
names on the 

Disc Navigator

 is 14.

displayed in alphabetical order.

 

The order of the folder and file names displayed on the 

Disc Navigator

 

is dependant on the time and date when the folders or files were created 
on the USB device.

Much time is required to 
recognized the USB device.

 

It may take longer to load data when a large capacity USB device is 
connected (this could take several minutes).
