INTRODUCTION
Precautions
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.
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.
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
benzine,
as
they may damage
the surface of the
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.
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.
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
opti-
cal
pick-up
lens inside this
unit,
one of the most cru-
cial 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
move 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
con-
densation
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 sel-
dom occur.
