Maintaining your player
■ Unplug the power cord before you clean the outside of the player. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
■ Do not use this product near water or in damp environments, such as a bathroom,
and do not use this product near heat sources, such as radiators and stoves.
■ Never block the ventilation openings. Do not put the player on a soft surface such
as a bed, couch, or carpet.
■ Do not place the power cord in a location where it can be pinched (such as behind
a hinge of a cabinet door) or stepped on, and plug the player into a surge protector
instead of directly into a wall outlet. For extra protection during a lightning storm,
unplug the player from the surge protector or wall outlet.
■ Do not try to service this product yourself. Opening or removing any covers can
expose you to dangerous voltages and will void the player’s warranty.
Caring for DVDs and other discs
■ To keep the disc clean, always hold it by the edges. Do not touch the surface. When
the disc is not being played, store it in its case.
■ Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources. Leaving it in a car parked
in direct sunlight is likely to damage the disc because temperatures may rise
considerably inside the car.
Cleaning discs
Clean discs by wiping from the center to the edge, not around in a circle, using a product,
such as a soft cloth, made especially for cleaning CDs and DVDs. Do not use solvents such
as benzine, thinner, or anti-static spray made for vinyl records.
