Precautions
On safety
• Caution – The use of optical instruments
with this product will increase eye hazard.
• This unit operates on 100 – 240 V AC, 50/
60 Hz. Check that the unit’s operating
voltage is identical with your local power
supply.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
place objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, on the apparatus.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into
the cabinet, unplug the player and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN
10 V (external power input) jack.
• To prevent fire, do not cover the ventilation
of the apparatus with newspapers, table-
cloths, curtains, etc. And don’t place lighted
candles on the apparatus.
• Do not install the appliance in a confined
space, such as a bookcase or built-in
cabinet.
On temperature increases
• Heat may build up inside the unit during
charging or if it is being used for a long
time. This is not a malfunction.
• If the surrounding temperature is very high,
the protective function will turn off the
player automatically. Leave the player in a
cool location for about 30 minutes before
using it again.
On handling the player
• Keep the lens on the player clean and do not
touch it. If you do so, the lens may be
damaged and the player will not operate
properly.
• Do not put any heavy object on top of the
player. The player and the disc may be
damaged.
• Do not leave the player in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust or sand, moisture,
rain, mechanical shock, on an unlevel
surface, or in a car with its windows closed.
• If the player causes interference to radio or
television reception, turn off the player or
move it away from the radio or television.
• If the player is brought directly from a cold
to a warm location, or is placed in a very
damp place, moisture may condense on the
lenses of the player. Should this occur, the
player may not operate properly. In this
case, remove the disc and leave the player
for about half an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart,
square, star) cannot be played on this
player. Attempting to do so may damage the
player. Do not use such discs.

• Do not allow dust to come into contact with
the battery terminals of the player and

direct sunlight, or in a car with its windows
closed.
