Precautions

Notes on Handling

When shipping the DVD video player, the originai shipping
carton and packing materials come in handy. 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 video player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in

contact with the DVD video player for a long time. They will
leave marks on the cabinet.
The top and rear panels of the DVD video player may
become warm after a long period of use. This is not a
malfunction.
When the DVD video player is not in use, be sure to remove

the disc and turn off the power.

If you do not use the DVD video player for a long time, the
unit may not function properly in the future. Use the DVD

video player occasionally.

Notes on Location

When you place this DVD video player near a TV, radio, or
VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound
may be distorted. In this case, place the DVD video 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 the cioth well, and wipe the unit. 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 DVD video player.

• If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow

that product’s instructions.

Notes on Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation damages the DVD video
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 opticai pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the
most crucial internal parts of the DVD video player.

Examples

of

moisture

■ Moisture condensation occurs during the following

cases.

• When you bring the DVD video player directly from a cold

place to a warm place.

• When you use the DVD video 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 video player in a hot and

humid place just after you move the unit from an air
conditioned room.

• When you use the DVD video player in a humid place.

To Obtain a Clear Picture

The DVD video 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.

Do not use the DVD video player when moisture

condensation may occur.

If you use the DVD video player in such a situation, it may

damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect
the power cord of the DVD video player to the wall outlet, turn
on the DVD video player, and leave it for two or three hours.
After two or three hours, the DVD video player will have
warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD
video player connected to the wall outlet and moisture
condensation will seldom occur.
