Precautions
On safety
• Caution – The use of optical instruments with this
product will increase eye hazard.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the player and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
On power sources
• The player is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be
sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet. To
disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the
plug itself; never pull the cord.
On placement
• Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation
to prevent heat build-up in the player.
• Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a rug
that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.
• Do not place the player in a location near heat sources,
or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or
mechanical shock.
On operation
• If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture
may condense on the lenses inside the player. Should
this occur, the player may not operate properly. In this
case, remove the disc and leave the player turned on for
about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.
• When you move the player, take out any discs. If you
don’t, the disc may be damaged.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section
with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do,
the speakers may be damaged when a peak level section
is played.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent
such as alcohol or benzine.
On cleaning discs
Do not use a commercially available cleaning disc. It may
cause a malfunction.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution: This player is capable of holding a still video
image or on-screen display image on your television
screen indefinitely. If you leave the still video image
or on-screen display image displayed on your TV for
an extended period of time you risk permanent
damage to your television screen. Projection
televisions are especially susceptible to this.
Notes About the Discs
On handling discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do
not touch the surface.
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
If there is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc,
remove the glue completely before using the disc.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources
such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct
sunlight as the temperature may rise considerably
inside the car.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
On cleaning
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.

On novelty discs
Do not use irregularly shaped CDs such as heart- or star-
shaped CDs as they may cause the player to malfunction.
