Maintenance
CLEANING THE UNIT
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use solutions containing alcohol, spirits,
ammonia or abrasive.
CLEANING DISCS
If a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the
disc from the centre out. Do not wipe in a circular motion.
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, detergent, abrasive cleaning agents or
antistatic spray intended for analogue records.
DISC HANDLING
Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not adhere
to the disc surfaces.
Always store the disc in its protective case when it is not in
use.
HDD HANDLING
• HDD is a precision apparatus that is susceptible to vibration,
strong impact or dirt. Depending on the installation
environment or handling, the unit may become partially
damaged or in the worst case, recording or replaying may
not be available. Especially while the HDD is in motion, do
not subject it to vibration or strong impact or pull out the
power plug. And if a power failure occurs, the content of the
recording / replaying programme may be lost.
• HDD rotates at high speed when in operation. Be sure that
rotation has stopped and then move the unit without
subjecting it to strong impact or vibration.
SERVICING
If the unit becomes inoperative, do not try to fix the problem by
yourself. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Turn the
unit off, unplug the mains cable, and consult your dealer or an
authorised service centre.
CLEANING THE DISC LENS
If the unit does not perform correctly even though you have
referred to “Troubleshooting” and the relevant sections in the
owner’s manual, the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty.
Consult your dealer or an authorised service centre for
inspection and cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.

To see how the audio is output from the HDMI OUT / COAXIAL (digital audio out) jack, refer to the table below.
• To hear the BD-video secondary audio, select “Mix Audio Output”.
• Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is possible that
some devices with an HDMI input may not operate properly
with this unit.
• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the
sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length)
may be limited by the device that is connected.
• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not
support audio output (for example, projectors).
• If the connected device is not compatible with HDMI
BITSTREAM, DTS sound will not be output.
• When the power failure occurs, or when you unplug the unit,
some problems in the HDMI setting might occur.
Please check and set the HDMI setting again.
• HDMI OUT of this unit does not output the multi-channel
audio, such as 5.1ch, recorded on DVDs. To enjoy multi-
channel audio, connect this unit to a decoder through the
COAXIAL (digital audio out) jack.
• Multi-channel audio which is recorded on a TS title or the
one comes along with the DVB programmes can be output
from the HDMI OUT.
• Sound recorded at 96kHz is down sampled to 48kHz.
• Video and audio signals may be distorted temporarily when
switching to / from the HDMI output mode.
• You cannot change the video resolution during Blu-ray
Disc™ playback. To change the resolution, stop playback.
• In order to get natural and high quality film reproduction of
24-frame film material, use an HDMI cable (High Speed
HDMI cable is recommended) and select “Auto” if the
connected TV is compatible with 1080p24 frame input.
• Even if the connected TV is compatible with 1080p24 frame
input and you set “HDMI Video Resolution” setting to “Auto”,
when the contents of the disc are not compatible for
1080p24 frame, 1080p60 frame will be output.
• If the picture is not output properly to the TV because of
“HDMI Video Resolution” setting, press and hold [PLAY B]
on the front panel for more than 5 seconds. The setting will
be reset to the default automatically.
• With some copy-protected BD-video, the video image may
only be output from HDMI OUT jack.
• Refer also to your TV’s manual.
Copyright protection system
To play back the digital video images of a BD-video or DVD-
video via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the
player and the display device (or an AV receiver / amplifier)
support a copyright protection system called HDCP (high-
bandwidth digital content protection system). HDCP is copy
protection technology that comprises data encryption and
authentication of the connected AV device. This unit supports
HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display
device (or AV receiver / amplifier) for more information.
