Precautions
When shipping the DVD player, always use the original ship-
ping carton and packing materials.
For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was origi-
nally packed at the factory.
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the
DVD player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in con-
tact with the DVD player for a long time. They will leave
marks on the finish.
The top and rear panels of the DVD player may become-
warm after a long period of use. This is normal and not a
malfunction.
When the DVD player is not in use, be sure to remove the
disc and turn off the power.
If you do not use the DVD player for a long period, the unit
may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the
DVD player occasionally.
When you place this DVD player near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
playback picture may become poor and the sound may be
distorted. In this case, move the DVD player away from the
TV, radio, or VCR.
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solu-
tion, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do
not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and benzine,
as they may damage the surface of the DVD player.
If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, fol-
low that product’s instructions.
Warning:
Cleaning and adjustment of lenses and/or
other components of playback mechanism should be per-
formed by a qualified service technician.
The DVD player is a high technology, precision device. If the
optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn
down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear pic-
ture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance
(cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use
depending on the operating environment. For details, contact
your nearest dealer.
Moisture condensation damages the DVD player. Please
read the following carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you
pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of
water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way,
moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside
this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the DVD
player.
Moisture condensation occurs during the following
cases.
When you bring the DVD player directly from a cold place
to a warm place.
When you use the DVD player in a room where you just
turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from
the air conditioner directly hits the unit.
In summer, when you use the DVD player in a hot and
humid place just after you move the unit from an air con-
ditioned room.
When you use the DVD player in a humid place.
Do not use the DVD player when moisture condensa-
tion may occur.
If you use the DVD player in such a situation, it may dam-
age discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect
the power cord of the DVD player to the wall outlet, turn on
the DVD player and leave it “ON” for two or three hours.
After two or three hours, the DVD player will have
warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD
player connected to the wall outlet and moisture conden-
sation will seldom occur.
