• Do not place the system in a place where medical
equipment is in use. It may cause a malfunction of
medical equipment.
Additional Information
Precautions
On safety
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, on the system, or
place the system near water, such as near a bathtub or
shower room. Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the cabinet, unplug the system and have it
checked by qualified personnel before operating it
any further.
• If you use a pacemaker or other medical device,
consult your physician or the manufacturer of your
medical device before using the wireless LAN
function.
On operation
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture
may condense on the lenses inside the main unit.
Should this occur, the system may not operate
properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the
system turned on for about half an hour until the
moisture evaporates.
• Do not touch the AC power cords (mains leads) with
wet hands. Doing so may cause an electric shock.
• When you move the system, take out any disc. If you
do not, the disc may be damaged.
On power sources
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the main unit
and have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• Unplug the main unit from the wall outlet (mains) if
you do not intend to use it for an extended period of
time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug,
never by the cord.
On adjusting volume
• Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section
with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you
do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level
section is suddenly played.
On placement
• Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
• At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet
becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction.
However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do
not place the system in a confined space where
ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.
• Do not block the ventilation openings by putting
anything on the system. The system is equipped with
a high power amplifier. If the ventilation openings are
blocked, the system can overheat and malfunction.
• Do not place the system on surfaces (rugs, blankets,
etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may
block the ventilation openings.
On cleaning
• Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
• To remove fingerprints on the front panel of the main
unit, wipe it with a slightly moistened, well-wrung
soft cloth (BDV-L800 only).
On cleaning discs, disc/lens
cleaners
• Do not install the system in a confined space, such as
a bookshelf or similar unit.
• Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners
(including wet or spray types). These may cause
the apparatus to malfunction.
• Do not install the system near heat sources such as
radiators, air ducts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or
shock.
On replacement of parts
• In the events that this system is repaired, repaired
parts may be collected for reuse or recycling
purposes.
• Do not install the system in an inclined position. It is
designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.
• Keep the system and discs away from components
with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or
large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the system.
• Do not place metal objects in front of the front panel.
They may limit reception of radio waves.
GB

On AC adapter
• Use the supplied AC adapter (AC-BD100) for this
player, as other adapters may cause a malfunction.
• Do not disassemble or reverse-engineer.
• Do not confine the AC adapter in a closed place such
as a bookshelf or an AV cabinet.
Notes about the Discs
On handling discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its
edge. Do not touch the surface.
• Do not connect the AC adapter to a traveler’s electric
transformer, which may generate heat and cause a
malfunction.
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
• Do not drop or apply shock.
• The equipment shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing.
• The appliance coupler/inlet shall be easily accessible
and readily operable.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or
heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in
a car parked in direct sunlight as the
temperature may rise considerably inside the
car.
On your TV’s color
• If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have
color irregularity, turn off the TV then turn it on after
15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist,
place the speakers further away from the TV set.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.

television screen indefinitely. If you leave the still
video image or on-screen display image displayed
on your TV for an extended period of time you risk
permanent damage to your television screen.
Projection televisions are especially susceptible to
this.
On moving the system
• Before moving the system, make sure that there is no
disc inserted, and remove the AC power cords (mains
leads) from the wall outlet (mains).
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for vinyl LPs.
This system can only play a standard circular
disc. Using neither standard nor circular discs
(e.g., card, heart, or star shape) may cause a
malfunction.
Do not use a disc that has a commercially
available accessory attached, such as a label or
ring.

Troubleshooting
If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the system, use this troubleshooting
guide to help remedy the problem before requesting repairs. Should any problem persist, consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
Note that if service personnel changes some parts during repair, these parts may be retained.
In the event of a problem with the wireless sound function, have a Sony dealer check the entire system
together (main unit and subwoofer).
