maintenance and precautions
Cleaning the exterior
• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe
off dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very
dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some
neutral cleanser diluted five or six times
with water and wrung out well, then wipe
again with a dry cloth.
• Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never
use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays
or other chemicals on or near this unit
since they will corrode the surface.
• If you use a chemical-impregnated
cleaning cloth, read the instructions
carefully before use. These cloths may
leave smear marks on half-mirror finish
surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry
cloth.
• Make sure to unplug the unit when
cleaning.
AC adaptor and power cord caution
• Do not leave the power cord near heating
equipment. The coating of the cord may
melt, which could lead to fire and/or
electrocution.
• Make sure to grasp the body of the AC
adaptor when removing it from the power
outlet. If you pull the power cord, it may
become damaged which could lead to fire
and/or electrocution.
• Do not attempt to plug in or remove the AC
adaptor with wet hands. This may result in
electrocution.
• Insert the prongs of the AC adaptor all the
way into the power outlet. If the connection
is incomplete, heat may be generated
which could lead to fire. Furthermore,
contact with the connected prongs of the
adaptor may result in electrocution.
• Do not insert the AC adaptor into a power
outlet where the connection remains loose
despite inserting the prongs all the way
into the outlet. Heat may be generated
which could lead to fire. Consult with the
retailer or an electrician regarding
replacement of the power outlet.
Note
1 Many widescreen discs override the system’s settings so that the disc is shown in letterbox format regardless of the setting.
Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen
discs are shown with black bars top
and bottom.
Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan) , widescreen
discs are shown with the left and right
sides cropped. Although the picture
looks larger, you don’t actually see
the whole picture.
2 • Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in distortion.
• When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can use the TV controls to select how the picture is presented. Your TV
may offer various zoom and stretch options; see the instructions that came with your TV for details.
• Some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even with a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a ‘letterbox’ style.
