Precautions  
Notes on handling  
Notes on Moisture Condensation  
Moisture condensation damages the DVD player.  
Please read the following carefully.  
When shipping the DVD player, always use the  
original shipping carton and packing materials.  
For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was  
originally 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 contact with the DVD 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 DVD player.  
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.  
Moisture condensation occurs during the following  
cases.  
When you bring the DVD player directly from a  
cold place to a warm place.  
Notes on Locating  
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 conditioned room.  
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.  
When you use the DVD 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 benzene, as they  
may damage the surface of the DVD player.  
Do not use the DVD player when moisture  
condensation may occur.  
If you use the DVD player in such a situation, it  
may damage discs and internal parts. 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. If a disc is present inside  
the machine, remove it immediately. 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.  
If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the  
unit, follow that product’s instructions.  
Warning : Cleaning and adjustment of lenses  
and/or other components of playback mechanism  
should be performed by a qualified service  
technician.  
To Obtain a Clear Picture  
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 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.  
IN T R O D U C T IO N  
P A G E 7  
For Proper and Long Use  
DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING  
PLAYBACK  
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do  
NOT lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so  
may damage the disc.  
CAUTION : WHEN PLACING THE UNIT  
IN A STEREO RACK WITH GLASS  
DOORS  
Be sure there is ample space between the unit and  
the glass doors when opening the disc table using  
the remote control. If the disc table opens against  
strong resistance, such as a closed glass door,  
damage to the unit may result.  
WHEN MOVING THIS UNIT  
When changing places of installation or packing the  
unit for moving, be sure to remove the disc and  
return the disc table to its original position in the  
player. Then, press the POWER button on the  
remote control or on the front panel and then  
disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit with the  
disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.  
CONDENSATION  
Moisture will form in the operating section of the  
player if the player is brought from cool surroundings  
into a warm room or if the temperature of the room  
rises suddenly. When this happens, player’s  
performance will be impaired. To prevent this, let the  
player stand in its new surroundings for about an  
hour before switching it on, or make sure that the  
room temperature rises gradually.  
Condensation may also form during the summer if  
the player is exposed to the breeze from an air  
conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the  
player.  
INSTALLATION  
Select a stable place to the side of a TV set or  
stereo system to be connected to the unit.  
When using the unit with a stereo system, install  
the speakers a little bit away from the TV if these  
are not magnetically shielded.  
Do NOT install the unit on top of a TV or color  
monitor. Install the unit away from equipment that  
may be affected by magnetism, such as a  
cassette deck.  
S WITCH POWER OFF WHEN NOT  
USING THE UNIT  
AVOID INSTALLING IN A PLACE THAT IS:  
Depending on the strength of the TV or radio  
broadcast signal, having the TV or radio ON while  
power to the unit is ON may result in stripes on the  
TV screen or noise. However, this is not a  
malfunction of this unit or the TV or radio. In such a  
case, switch the power of the unit OFF.  
Exposed to direct sunlight  
Exposed to humidity or where ventilation is poor  
Extremely hot or cold  
Exposed to vibration  
Exposed to dust  
Exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat (for  
example, a kitchen)  
POWER-CORD CAUTION  
DO NOT PLACE AN OBJ ECT ON TOP  
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out  
the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the  
power cord when your hands are wet as this could  
cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place  
the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord,  
or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or  
tie it with other cords. The power cords should be  
routed in such a way that they are not likely to be  
stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire  
or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord  
once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your  
nearest service center or your dealer for a replacement.  
Do NOT place an object on the unit.  
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS  
Do NOT use the player on top of a long-fibre carpet,  
bed or sofa, and do not cover it with a cloth etc. This  
will prevent heat radiation and could result in  
damage.  
AVOID HEAT  
Do NOT place the unit on equipment generating  
heat, such as an amplifier.  
When installing the unit in a rack, place it on the  
lowest shelf possible (however, not where it is  
exposed to dust) and separated from the amplifier to  
avoid the heat generated by the amplifier of other  
audio equipment.
