Safety Precautions (Continued)
Precautions
On safety
• Caution – The use of optical instruments with this
product will increase eye hazard.
• 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.
On power sources
• The player is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the player for a long time,
be sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet.
To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp
the plug itself; never pull the cord.
On placement
• Place the player in a location with adequate ventila-
tion to prevent heat build-up in the player.
• Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a
rug that might block the ventilation holes.
• Do not place the player in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such
as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.
On operation
• If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture
may condense on the lenses inside the player. Should
this occur, the player may not operate properly. In this
case, remove the disc and leave the player turned on
for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.
• When you move the player, take out any discs. If you
don’t, the disc may be damaged.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section
with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do,
the speakers may be damaged when a peak level sec-
tion is played.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or sol-
vent such as alcohol or benzine.
On cleaning discs
Do not use a commercially available cleaning disc. It
may cause a malfunction.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

on-screen display image displayed on your TV for an

visions and projection televisions are susceptible to
this.
