CAUTION!

 

Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, 

 

commercially available cleaners, or anti-static sprays 

intended for analog discs. Since the optical unit 

 

(laser) of the DVD system operates at a higher 

power than regular DVD or CD players, cleaning 

CDs intended for DVD or CD players may damage 

the optical unit (laser). Therefore, refrain from using 

a cleaning CD.

  Moisture Condensation 

 

 

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.

 

 

If you use the DVD player in such a situation, it may 

damage 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 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 condensation will seldom occur.

 

Region Codes

 

This DVD player is designed to support the Region 

Management System. Check the regional code 

number on the disc package. If the number does 

not match the player

'

 s region number (see table on 

page 5), the player may be unable to playback the 

disc.
