NOTES ON HANDLING:
• 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.
• 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.
• If you do not use the DVD player for a long
period, the unit may not function properly in
the future. Turn on and use the DVD player
occasionally.
NOTES ON LOCATING THE DVD PLAYER:
• 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.
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 or
benzene, as they may damage the surface
of the DVD player.
• 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.
NOTES ON 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.
Moisture condensation occurs during the
following cases:
• When you bring the DVD player directly
from a cold place to a warm place.
• 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
moved the unit from an air conditioned
room.
• When you use the DVD player in a humid
place.
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. Remove the disc, 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. 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.
