Cautions on use
When moving the player
When moving the player, check first that there is no
disc loaded and that the disc tray is closed. Then
press  STANDBY/ON on the player (or  STANDBY/
ON on the remote control), wait for the OFF indicator
on the front panel display to turn off, then unplug the
power cord. Moving the player with a disc inside it
could result in damage.
Place of installation
Choose a stable place near the TV or stereo system
•
being used with the player.
Do not place the player on top of a TV or color
•
monitor. Also install it away from cassette decks
and other devices easily affected by magnetic
forces.
Avoid the following types of places:
• Places exposed to direct sunlight
Humid or poorly ventilated places
•
• Extremely hot places
Places exposed to vibrations
•
• Places in which there is much dust or cigarette
smoke
Places exposed to soot, steam or heat (kitchens,
•
etc.)
Do not place objects on the player.
Do not place any objects on top of the player.
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
Do not use the player on shaggy rugs, beds, sofas,
etc., or wrapped in cloth, etc. Doing so will prevent the
heat from dispersing, leading to damage.
Do not expose to heat.
Do not place the player on top of an amplifier or other
component that generates heat. When placing it in
a rack, to avoid the heat given off by the amplifier or
other audio component, place it on a shelf below the
amplifier.
Turn off the player's power when not
using it.
Depending on signal conditions, striped patterns may
appear on a TV screen and noise may enter the sound
of radio broadcasts when the player's power is on. If
this happens, turn the player's power off.
About condensation
If the player is moved suddenly from a cold place
into a warm room (in winter, for example) or if the
temperature in the room in which the player is installed
rises suddenly due to a heater, etc., water droplets
(condensation) may form inside (on operating parts
and the lens). When condensation is present, the
player will not operate properly and playback is not
possible. Let the player stand at room temperature
for 1 or 2 hours with the power turned on (the time
depends on the extent of condensation). The water
droplets will dissipate and playback will become
possible. Condensation can also occur in the summer
if the player is exposed to the direct wind from an
air-conditioner. If this happens, move the player to a
different place.
