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.
Tips:
-It may not be possible to play CD-R/RW , DVD + R/
RW , or DVD + R DL in all cases due to the type of
disc or condition of the recording.
-If you are having trouble playing a certain disc,
remove the disc and try a different one. Improperly
formatted disc will not play on this DVD Player.
