On placement
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 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.
• Do not damage the LCD surface with a sharp
edged tool.
On rechargeable battery
• Because of the battery’s limited life, its
capacity gradually deteriorates over time and
repeated use. Exchange a new one for the old
one when the battery holds about only half the
normal period.
• To prevent battery deterioration, charge the
battery at least once every half a year or every
year.
• Certain countries may regulate disposal of the
battery used to power this product. Please
consult with your local authority.
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.
On AC adaptor and car battery adaptor
• Use the supplied adaptors for the player, as
other adaptors may cause a malfunction.
• Do not disassemble or reverse-engineer.
• Do not touch the metal parts, as it may cause a
short and damage the adaptors, especially if
touched by other metal objects.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a
section with very low level inputs or no audio
signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged
when a peak level section is played.
On headphones
• 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.
• Preventing hearing damage: Avoid using
headphones at high volumes. Hearing experts
advise against continuous, loud, and extended
play. If you experience a ringing in your ears,
reduce the volume or discontinue use.
• Showing consideration for others: Keep the
volume at a moderate level. This will allow
you to hear external sounds and still be
considerate to the people around you.
• Do not turn off the player during software
update, as it may cause a malfunction.
4
• Hold the HDMI connector straight when
connecting or disconnecting the HDMI cable.
Do not twist or force the HDMI connector into
the HDMI OUT jack.
On cleaning
• Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a
soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of
abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such
as alcohol or benzine.
Notes About the Discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its
edge. Do not touch the surface.
Dust, fingerprints, or scratches on the disc
may cause it to malfunction.
• Wipe the LCD surface with the soft dry cloth
lightly. To prevent dirt buildup, wipe it
frequently.
Do not wipe the LCD surface with a wet cloth.
If water enters, a malfunction may result.
• If picture/sound is distorted, the lens may be
covered with dust. In this case, use a
commercially-available blower brush for
camera lenses to clean the lens.
Avoid touching the lens directly during
cleaning.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or
heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in
a car parked in direct sunlight as the
temperature may rise considerably inside the
car.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
• Clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the
disc from the center out.
On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners
Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners
(including wet or spray types). These may cause
the apparatus to malfunction.
On replacement of parts
In the events that this player is repaired, repaired
parts may be collected for reuse or recycling
purposes.
On connecting to the HDMI OUT jack
Observe the following as improper handling
may damage the HDMI OUT jack and the
connector.
• Carefully align the HDMI OUT jack on the
right of the player and the HDMI connector by
checking their shapes. Make sure the
connector is not upside down or tilted.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available disc/lens cleaners, or
anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• If you have printed the disc’s label, dry the
label before playing.
• Do not use the following discs.
– A lens cleaning disc.
– A disc that has a non-standard shape (e.g.,
card, heart).
