Precautions
Note 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
leaver 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
● When you place 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 form the
TV, Radio, or VCR.
Note 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 DVD player.
● If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that product’s
instructions.
Warning: Cleaning and adjustment of lenses and /or other components of playback
mechanism should be performed by a qualified service technician.

Precautions
To Obtain a 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.
Note 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 have 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
have 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.
