Precautions
To Obtain a Clear Picture
The DVD video 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 environ-
ment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.
Beware of Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the DVD video 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 day, moisture
may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside this unit,
one of the most crucial internal parts of the DVD video play-
er.
Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases:
• When you bring the DVD video player directly from a cold place
to a warm place.
• In summer, when you use the DVD video player in a hot and
humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned
room.
• When you use the DVD video player in a humid place.
Do not use the DVD video player when moisture conden-
sation may occur.
