of the audio CD format. This player does not support the
playback or function of discs that do not conform to these
specifications.
Playing discs created on computers
or BD/DVD recorders
• The player may not be able to play discs recorded using
a computer. Record discs in a format playable on this
player. For details, contact the dealer.
• The player may not be able to play discs recorded using
a computer or a BD/DVD recorder, if burn quality is not
good due to characteristics of the disc, scratches, dirt on
the disc, dirt on the recorder's lens, etc.
Additional information
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.

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
NTSC or form inside (on operating parts and the lens). When
— NTSC PAL
PAL
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.
Cleaning the product
• Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when
cleaning the player.
• Clean the player using a soft cloth. For tough dirt, apply
some neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts water to a
soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then
wipe again with a soft, dry cloth.
• Alcohol, thinner, benzene, insecticides, etc., could cause
the print or paint to peel off. Also, leaving rubber or vinyl
products in contact with the player for long periods of
time could mar the cabinet.
• When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc., read the
cautions included with the wipes carefully.
Caution for when the unit is
installed in a rack with a glass door
Do not press  OPEN/CLOSE on the remote control to open
the disc tray while the glass door is closed. The door will
