Notes on handling

■ When shipping the DVD video player, the original
shipping carton and packing materials come in handy.
For maximum protection, repack the units 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 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 fi nish.
■ 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 period,
the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on
and use the DVD video player occasionally.
Notes on locating
■ Place the DVD video player 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 DVD video player.
■ 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 well and wipe. 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 optical pick-up lens inside
this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the DVD
video player.
■ 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.
■ Do not use the DVD video player where 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 the moisture
condensation may evaporate.
