If the condition persists, consult a doctor.
If you experience any of the following health problems, discontinue use of the
system immediately. If symptoms persist, consult with your physician.
− Dizziness, nausea, fatigue or symptoms similar to motion sickness

Keep the system and accessories, including cable ties and fasteners, out of the
reach of small children.
Do not connect cables other than a USB cable while the system is turned on
(power indicator is lit solid green).
Any TV or component connected to the system must be functioning properly
and free of defects. If a TV or component connected to the system is faulty or
defective, it may cause damage to the TV or component, or to the system itself.
As with all electrical products, connection to faulty or defective components, or
the failure to connect to a properly wired outlet, may cause sparking and pose
a fire hazard.
Do not touch the system or connected cables or accessories during an
electrical storm.
Do not use the system or accessories near water.
Do not allow liquid, small particles or other foreign objects to get into the
system or accessories.
Do not touch the connectors of the system or accessories.
Do not expose the system or accessories to dust, smoke or steam. Also, do not
place the system in an area subject to excessive dust or cigarette smoke. Dust
build-up or cigarette smoke residue on the internal components (such as the
lens) may cause the system to malfunction.
Do not expose the system or accessories to high temperatures, high humidity
or direct sunlight.
Do not place the system or accessories on surfaces that are unstable, tilted or
subject to vibration.
Do not set the system other than in the vertical or horizontal position. When
setting the system in the vertical position, use the vertical stand (sold
separately) for this model of the system. Also, do not change the position of the
system while it is turned on.
Be careful when carrying the system. If you do not have a good grip, the
system may drop causing potential damage or injury.
Do not move or change the position of the system with a disc inserted. The
vibration may result in scratching of the disc or the system.
Do not turn off the system while data is being saved on or loaded from the hard
disk.
Do not stand on or put objects on the system, and do not stack the system with
other devices.
