FCC WARNING
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in this
manual could void your authority to operate this
equipment.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
The shielded Interface cable (LAN cable) must be
used with the equipment in order to comply with the
limits for a digital device pursuant to Subpart B of
Part 15 of FCC Rules.
To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

b
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
Batteries or batteries installed apparatus shall not be
exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the
like.
CAUTION
The use of optical instruments with this product will
increase eye hazard. As the laser beam used in this Blu-
ray Disc/DVD player is harmful to eyes, do not attempt
to disassemble the cabinet.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
This label is located on the laser protective housing
inside the enclosure.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
