Precautions  
Notes on handling  
Notes on moisture condensation  
Do not shock the LCD panel. It may cause unit  
damage and malfunction.  
Moisture condensation damages the player. Please  
read the following carefully.  
When shipping the player, the original shipping carton  
and packing materials come in handy. For maximum  
protection, repack the unit as it was originally  
packaged at the factory.  
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near  
the player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in  
contact with the player for a long time. They will leave  
marks on the finish.  
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 player.  
o
f
n
s
The top and rear panels of the player may become  
warm after a long period of use. This is not a  
malfunction.  
When the player is not in use, be sure to remove the  
disc and turn off the power.  
Optical pick-up  
lens  
If you do not use the player for a long period, the unit  
may not function properly in the future. Turn on and  
use the player occasionally.  
Moisture condensation occurs during the  
following cases.  
When you bring the player directly from a cold place  
to a warm place.  
Notes on locating  
When you use the 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 player in a hot and  
humid place just after you move the unit from an air  
conditioned room.  
When you place this player near a TV, radio, or VCR,  
the playback picture may become poor and the sound  
may be distorted. In this case, move the player away  
from the TV, radio, or VCR.  
When you use the player in a humid place.  
Notes on cleaning  
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.  
For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent  
solution, 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  
player.  
If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit,  
follow that product’s instructions.  
Do not use the player when moisture  
condensation may occur.  
When cleaning the LCD panel, use a soft, dry cloth.  
If you use the player in such a situation, it may  
damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc,  
connect the power cord of the player to the wall  
outlet, turn on the player, and leave it for two or three  
hours. After two or three hours, the player will have  
warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the  
player connected to the wall outlet and moisture  
condensation will seldom occur.  
To obtain a clear picture  
The 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 picture, 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.

• The color LCD is manufactured using extremely high  
precision technology, but even so may include  
certain pixels that do not operate properly (that do  
not light, that remain lit constantly, etc.). We do our  
best to keep the number of these defective pixels to  
a minimum, but please understand that they cannot  
be completely eliminated even with the most  
advanced manufacturing technologies available  
today.
