PRECAUTIONS
Notes on handling
• Never disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet while the player is turned on, unless it is in an
emergency. Doing so may cause malfunction.
• When shipping the player, the original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. 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 player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products
in contact with the player for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.
• The top and rear panels of the player may become warm after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
When not in use
• For usual absence
Be sure to remove the disc from the player and turn off the power.
• Prolonged absence
Unplug the player from a wall outlet. (This will stop the clock. Display “SETUP MENU” by pressing SETUP,
and reset the clock.)
Notes on locating
• Place the player on a level surface. Do not use it on a shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbly table
or inclined stand. The loaded disc may dislodge from its proper position and cause damage to the player.
Before placing the player, make sure that the surface can stand the weight of the player. Never place
the player in a high location to avoid damage to the product or person by an accidental fall of the player.
• When you place this player near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the
sound may be distorted depending on the condition and location of said equipment. In such an event,
place the player as far away as practical from the TV, radio, or VCR.
• To avoid damage to this product, never place or store the unit in direct sunlight; hot, humid areas; or areas
subject to excessive dust, oily smoke, cigarette smoke or vibration.
About the volume level
The volume level of some commercial HD DVD and DVD discs may seem lower than that of audio CDs,
other software, etc. If you turn up the volume of the TV or amplifier to play such discs, be sure to turn it
back down after playback finishes.
About software
Because of problems and errors that can occur during the creation of HD DVD, DVD and CD software and/
or the manufacture of HD DVD, DVD and CD discs, Manufacturer cannot assure that this player will
successfully play every disc bearing the HD DVD, DVD or CD logos. If you happen to experience any
difficulty playing an HD DVD, DVD or CD disc on this player, please contact Customer Service.
Some differences
The HD DVD player operates more like a computer and differently than a standard DVD player. In addition
to containing a microprocessor, it contains an operating system, random access memory (RAM), and an
HD DVD drive. The operating system includes software that is transferred to the RAM when the machine
is turned on and at other times during operation. This transfer can take time. Therefore, when you turn the
HD DVD player on, it may take a little while before it is ready to use. Likewise, other functions may not be
performed as quickly as they would on other AV equipment. Please take these factors into consideration
as you use the HD DVD player.
