NOTES ON HANDLING:
• When shipping the DVD player, always use the
original shipping carton and packing materials.
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 DVD player. Do not leave rubber or
plastic products in contact with the DVD player
for a long time.
They will leave marks on the
finish.
•
The top and rear panels of the DVD player may
become warm after a long period of use. This is
normal and not a malfunction.
•
When the DVD player is not in use, be sure to
remove the disc and turn off the power.
• If you do not use the DVD player for a long
period, the unit may not function properly in the
future. Turn on and use the DVD player
occasionally.
NOTE ON LOCATING THE DVD PLAYER:
When you place this DVD player near a
TV
, radio
or VCR, the playback picture may become poor
and the sound may be distorted. In this case,
move the DVD player away from the
TV
, radio or
VCR.
NOTES ON CLEANING:
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
•
For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak
detergent solution, wring well and wipe. Use a
dry cloth to wipe it dry
. Do not use any type of
solvent, such as thinner and benzene, as they
may damage the surface of the DVD player.

CLEAR PICTURE:
The DVD player is a high technology
, precision
device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive
parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality
becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we
recommend regular inspection and maintenance
(cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours
of use depending on the operating environment.
For details, contact your nearest dealer.
NOTES ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION:
Moisture condensation damages the DVD
player. Please read the following carefully.
• Moisture condensation occurs, for example,
when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a
warm day
. Drops of water form on the outside of
the glass. In the same way, moisture may
condense on the optical pick-up lens inside this
unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the
DVD player.
Moisture condensation occurs during the
following cases:
• When you bring the DVD player directly from a
cold place to a warm place.
• When you use the DVD player in a room where
you just turned on the heater, or a place where
the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits
the unit.
• In summer, when you use the DVD player in a
hot and humid place just after you moved the
unit from an air conditioned room.
• When you use the DVD player in a humid place.
Do not use the DVD player when moisture
condensation may occur.
•
If you use the DVD player in such a situation, it
may damage discs and internal parts. Remove
the disc, connect the power cord of the DVD
player to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD player
and leave it “ON” for two or three hours. After two
or three hours, the DVD player will have warmed
up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD
player connected to the wall outlet and moisture
condensation will seldom occur.

nonpolarized
AC outlet, do not file or cut the wide blade. It is the user’s
responsibility to have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.
