Notes on handling
• When shipping the unit, the original shipping carton
and packing materials come in handy. For maximum
protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at
the factory. Take care not to give it a shock or shake when
carrying.
• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the
unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact
with this unit for a long time. They will leave marks on the
finish.
• The top and rear panels of the unit may become warm
after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
• When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove the disc
and turn off the power.
• If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit may
not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the
unit occasionally.
Notes on locating
Place the unit on a level surface. Do not use it on a shaky
or unstable surface such as a wobbling table or inclined
stand. The loaded disc may come off the proper position
and cause damage to the unit.
When you place this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
playback picture may become poor and the sound may
be distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the TV,
radio, or VCR.
Do not use this unit in places which are extremely hot, cold,
dusty or humid.
Do not restrict the air flow of this unit by placing it
somewhere with poor air flow, by covering it with a cloth,
or by placing it on bedding or carpeting.
Be sure to remove the disc and unplug the AC power cord from
the outlet before carrying the unit.
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 thinners and
benzene, as they may damage the surface of the unit.
• If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit,
follow that product's instructions.
Inspection and Maintenance
This unit is a high technology, precision device. If the
optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts become dirty or
worn down, the picture quality may be reduced. To avoid
reduction in picture quality, it is recommended that regular
inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement)
be performed every 1,000 hours of use. For further details,
contact your nearest consumer electronics dealer.
Notes on moisture condensation
Moisture condensation damages the Blu-ray Disc™
and Online Media 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 unit.
Moisture condensation occurs during the following
cases.
• When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a
warm place.
• When you use the unit 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 player in a hot and humid
place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned
room.
• When you use the player in a humid place.
Do not use the Blu-ray Disc™ and Online Media
Player when moisture condensation may occur.
If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage discs
and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power
cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit, and
leave it for two or three hours. After two or three hours,
the unit will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture.
Keep the unit connected to the wall outlet and moisture
condensation will seldom occur.
On Safety
Do not handle the AC power cord with wet hands and do
not put your fingers or objects into the unit.
When connecting or disconnecting the AC power cord,
grip the plug and not the cord itself. Pulling the cord may
damage it and create a hazard.
When you are not going to use the unit for a long period of
time, disconnect the AC power cord.
On Recycling

reused. Please dispose of any materials in accordance with
your local recycling regulations.
