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 ste‑
reo 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
Dusty places
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 ampli‑
fier 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 pat‑
terns may appear on a TV screen and noise
may enter the sound of radio broadcasts
when the player's power is on. If this hap‑
pens, 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 (conden‑
sation) may form inside (on operating parts
and the lens). When condensation is pres‑
ent, 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 pos‑
sible. 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.
