Precautions
Notes on the power cord
• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an 
extended period of time, remove the plug from the

consumed while the power cord is connected to the 
wall outlet.
• When unplugging the player from the wall outlet, 
always pull the plug, not the power cord.
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!
• Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the 
player or moving the player.
• Do not alter, twist or pull the power cord, or put 
anything heavy on it, which may cause fire, electric 
shock, or other accidents.
•If the cord is damaged, consult a dealer and have the 
power cord replaced with a new one.
Avoid moisture, water, dust, and high temperatures
• Do not place the player in moist or dusty places.
•If water gets inside the player, turn off the power and 
remove the plug from the wall outlet, then consult 
your dealer. Using the player in this state may cause 
a fire or electrical shock.
•Do not expose the player to direct sunlight or place it 
near a heating device.
Notes on installation
•Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot 
nor too cold between 5˚C and 35˚C (41˚F and 95˚F).

TV.
• Do not install the player in a place subject to 
vibrations.
• Do not put heavy objects on the player.
To prevent malfunction of the player
