12. 

Use only with the cart, 

stand, tripod, bracket, 

or table specified by 

the manufacturer,

combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. 

Unplug this apparatus during lightning 

storms or when unused for long periods 

of time.

14. 

Refer all servicing to qualified service 

personnel. Servicing is required when 

the apparatus has been damaged in any 

way, such as when the power-supply 

cord or plug is damaged, liquid has 

been spilled or objects have fallen into 

the apparatus, the apparatus has been 

exposed to rain or moisture, does not 

operate normally, or has been dropped.

Disc Storage & Management

•  Holding Discs

 - Fingerprints or scratches 

on a disc may reduce 

sound and picture quality 

or cause skipping

 - Avoid touching the surface of a disc 

where data has been recorded.

 - Hold the disc by the edges so that 

fingerprints will not get on the surface.

 - Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

•  Cleaning Discs

 - If you get fingerprints or dirt 

on a disc, clean it with a mild 

detergent diluted in water 

and wipe with a soft cloth. 

 - When cleaning, wipe gently 

from the inside to the outside of the disc.

•  Disc Storage

 

`

Do not keep in direct sunlight.

 

`

Keep in a cool ventilated area.

 

`

Keep in a clean protection jacket and 

store vertically.

Handling Cautions

•  Do not expose this apparatus to dripping 

or splashing. Do not put objects filled with 

liquids, such as vases on the apparatus.

•  To turn this apparatus off completely, you 

must pull the power plug out of the wall 

socket. Consequently, the power plug must 

be easily and readily accessible at all times. 

•  Do not plug multiple electric devices into 

the same wall socket. Overloading a socket 

can cause it to overheat, resulting in a fire.

•  Before connecting other components to 

this player, be sure to turn them off. 

•  If you move your player suddenly from a cold 

place to a warm place, condensation may 

occur on the operating parts and lens and 

cause abnormal disc playback. If this occurs, 

unplug the player, wait for two hours, and 

then connect the plug to the power outlet. 

Then, insert the disc, and try to play back 

again. 

•  If the product makes an abnormal noise 

or produces a burning smell or smoke, 

turn off the power switch immediately and 

disconnect the power plug from the wall 

outlet. Then, contact the nearest customer 

service center for technical assistance. Do 

not use the product. Using the product as 

it is may cause a fire or an electric shock.
