Introduction

PRECAUTIONS

NOTES ON HANDLING

• When shipping the DVD player, always use the original shipping carton and packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the DVD player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the DVD player for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

• The top and rear panels of the DVD player may become warm after a long period of use. This is normal and not a malfunction.

• When the DVD player is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and turn off the power.

• If you do not use the DVD player for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future.

Turn on and use the DVD player occasionally.

NOTES ON LOCATING

• When you place this DVD player near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, move the DVD 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 player.

• If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that product’s instructions.

WARNING

Cleaning and adjustment of lenses and/or other components of playback mechanism should be performed by a qualified service technician.

TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE

The DVD player is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

NOTES ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Moisture condensation damages the DVD 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 opti-cal pickup lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the DVD player.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases.

• When you bring the DVD player directly from a cold place to a warm place.

• When you use the DVD 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 player in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.

• When you use the DVD player in a humid place.

• Do not use the DVD player when moisture condensation may occur. If you use the DVD player in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the

DVD player to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD player and leave it “ON” for two or three hours. After two or three hours, the DVD player will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD player connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.

This section shows you how to handle, clean and store discs.

ON HANDLING DISCS

• Do not attach paper or tape to discs.

ON CLEANING DISCS

• Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and sound deterioration. Wipe the disc from the center outward with a soft cloth. Always keep the disc clean.

• If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the disc lightly with a slightly moistened soft cloth and finish with a dry cloth. Do not use any type of solvents such as thinner, benzine, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray for vinyl LPs. They may damage the disc.
