Precautions

Road safety
Do not use the monitor unit and
headphones while driving,
cycling, or operating any
motorized vehicle. Doing so
may create a traffic hazard and is
illegal in some areas. It can also
be potentially dangerous to play
your headsets at high volume
while walking, especially at
pedestrian crossings. You
should exercise extreme caution
or discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations.
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid
fall into the cabinet, unplug the
player and have it checked by
qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
On power sources
• If you are not going to use the
player for a long time, be sure
to disconnect the player from
the wall outlet. To disconnect
the AC power cord, grasp the
plug itself; never pull the cord.
• Do not touch the AC power
cord or the AC adaptor with
wet hands. Doing so may
cause shock hazard.
• Use a commercially available
AC plug adaptor, if necessary,
depending on the design of the
wall outlet.

cord to a traveler's electric
transformer, which may
generate heat and cause a
malfunction.

On temperature increases
Heat may build up inside the
player during charging or if it is
being used for a long time. This
is not a malfunction.
On placement
• Do not place the player in a
confined space such as a
bookshelf or similar unit.
• Do not cover the ventilation of
the player with newspapers,
tablecloths, curtains, etc. And
do not place the player on a
soft surface, such as a rug.
• Do not place the player and
adaptors in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust,
sand, moisture, rain, or
mechanical shock, or in a car
with its windows closed.
• Do not place the player in an
inclined position. It is
designed to be operated in a
horizontal position only.
• Keep the player and discs
away from equipment with
strong magnet, such as
microwave ovens, or large
loudspeakers.
• Do not drop or apply strong
shock.
Do not place heavy objects on
the player and accessories.

On operation
• If the player 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 player.
Should this occur, the player
may not operate properly. In
this case, remove the disc and
leave the player for about half
an hour until the moisture
evaporates. Wipe off moisture
attached to the LCD surface
with tissue etc. Turn on the
power again later.
• Keep the lens on the player
clean and do not touch it.
Touching the lens may
damage the lens and cause the
player to malfunction. Leave
the disc lid closed except when
you insert or remove discs.
• Do not use the player in an
area subject to excessive dust
or cigarette smoke. Dust build-
up or cigarette smoke residue
on internal components such
as the lens may cause the
player to malfunction.
On Liquid Crystal Display
• Although manufactured with
high precision technology, the
LCD may occasionally display
dots of various colors. That is
not a malfunction.
• Do not place or drop any
object onto the LCD surface.
Also, do not apply pressure
from hands or elbows.
• Do not damage the LCD
surface with a sharp edged
tool.
