Notes on handling
Important cautions
Safety precautions
Installation of the unit
Avoid moisture, water and dust
• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot
nor too cold (between 5˚C and 35˚C, 41˚F and 95˚F).
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.
• Do not use the player in a place subject to vibrations.
Do not place your player in moist or dusty places.
Power cord
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!
• A small amount of power (3.8 watts) is always
consumed while the power cord is connected to the
wall outlet.
• When unplugging the player from the wall outlet,
always pull the plug, not the power cord.
To prevent malfunction of the unit
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If
anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and
consult your dealer.
• Do not insert any metallic object into the unit.
• Do not use any non-standard shape disc available on
the market, because it may damage the unit.
• Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or paste on it,
because damage to the unit may result.
Avoid high temperatures
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or place it
near a heating device.
When you’re away
When away on travel or otherwise for an extended
period of time, remove the plug from the wall outlet.
Do not insert foreign objects into the unit
Do not insert wires, hairpins, coins, etc. into the unit.
Do not block the vents
Blocking the vents may damage the unit.
Care of the cabinet
When cleaning the unit, use a soft cloth and follow the
relevant instructions on the use of chemically-coated
cloths. Do not use benzene, thinner or other organic
solvents and disinfectants. These may cause
deformation or discoloring.
Note about copyright laws
• Please check the copyright laws in your country
before recording from DVD VIDEO, Audio CD, and
Video CD discs. Recording of copyrighted material
may infringe copyright laws.
If water gets inside the unit
Turn off the power switch and remove the plug from
the wall outlet, then call the store where you made
your purchase. Using the unit in this state may cause a
fire or electrical shock.
Note about the copyguard system
• The DVD VIDEO disc is protected by the copyguard
system. When you connect the unit to your VCR
directly, the copyguard system activates and the
picture may not be played back correctly.

Disc structure
A DVD disc is comprised of “titles,” while an Audio CD, Video CD is comprised of “tracks.” Each title may be divided
into some “chapters.” For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number,
and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD karaoke disc, each song usually has its own title
number and does not have chapters. In general, each title has independent content, while each chapter in the same
title has continuity.

Care and handling of discs
How to handle discs
When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc.
Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images
and sound will not be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the player to malfunction.
Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on its surface.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases,
they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place
where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards.
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any
anti-static agents.
Additional
information
CAUTION
41
Sometimes during play noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to
industry standards.)
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.
