Precautions

The power requirements and

power consumption of this

player are indicated on the back

of the player. Check that the

player’s operating voltage is

identical with your local power

supply.

Power requirements and

power consumption

On placement

• Place the player in a location

with adequate ventilation to

prevent heat build-up in the

player.

• Do not place the player on a

soft surface such as a rug that

might block the ventilation

holes.

• Do not install this player in a

confined space, such as a

bookshelf or similar unit.

• Do not place the player in a

location near heat sources, or

in a place subject to direct

sunlight, excessive dust, or

mechanical shock.

• Do not place the player

outdoors, in vehicles, on ships,

or on other vessels.

• 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 turned on for

about half an hour until the

moisture evaporates.

• Do not install the player in an

inclined position. It is

designed to be operated in a

horizontal position only.

• Do not place heavy or unstable

objects on the player.

• Do not place any objects other

than discs on the disc tray.

Doing so may cause damage to

the player or the object.

• Take out any discs when you

move the player. If you don’t,

the disc may be damaged.

• Disconnect the AC power cord

and all other cables from the

player when you move the

player.

On power sources

• The player is not disconnected

from the AC power source as

long as it is connected to the

wall outlet, even if the player

itself has been turned off.

• Disconnect the player from the

wall outlet if you are not going

to use the player for a long

time. To disconnect the AC

power cord, grasp the plug

itself; never pull the cord.

• Observe following points to

prevent the AC power cord

being damaged. Do not use the

AC power cord if it is

damaged, as doing so may

result in an electric shock or

fire.

– Do not pinch the AC power

cord between the player and

wall, shelf, etc.

– Do not put anything heavy

on the AC power cord or pull

on the AC power cord itself.

For the model supplied

with the AC plug adaptor

If the AC plug of your unit does

not fit into the wall outlet, attach

the supplied AC plug adaptor.

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, your ears and

the speakers may be damaged

when a peak level section is

played.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel, and

controls with a soft cloth. Do not

use any type of abrasive pad,

scouring powder or solvent such

as alcohol or benzine.

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.

In the events that this player is

repaired, repaired parts may be

collected for reuse or recycling

purposes.

OUT jack

Observe the following as

improper handling may damage

the HDMI OUT jack and the

connector.

• Carefully align the HDMI

cable, you can control the basic functions of the

player with the TV’s remote if the “Control for

HDMI” setting on the connected TV is set to

“On.” Refer to the instruction manual supplied

with the TV.

Depending on the connected component, the

“Control for HDMI” function may not work. Refer

to the instruction manual supplied with the

component.

Since communication via the wireless LAN

function is established by radio waves, the

wireless signal may be susceptible to

interception. To protect wireless

communication, this player supports various

security functions. Be sure to correctly

configure the security settings in accordance

with your network environment.

No Security

Although you can easily make settings,

anyone can intercept wireless

communication or intrude into your wireless

network, even without any sophisticated

tools. Keep in mind that there is a risk of

unauthorized access or interception of data.

WEP

WEP applies security to communications to

prevent outsiders from intercepting

communications or intruding into your

wireless network. WEP is a legacy security

technology that enables older devices, which

do not support TKIP/AES, to be connected.

WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (TKIP)

TKIP is a security technology developed to

correct for the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP

assures a higher security level than WEP.

WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (AES)

AES is a security technology that uses an

advanced security method that is distinct

from WEP and TKIP.

AES assures a higher security level than

WEP or TKIP.
