through the TV’s Antenna
connector. Refer to your
owner’s manual for proper
connection (refer to page 9 in
the owner’s manual.)

excessive heat (caused by heating
equipment or direct sunlight.)
Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid getting dust on
the lens.
●Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog
discs.
●The lens may cloud over when the player is suddenly
moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it
impossible to play a disc. Leave the player in the warm
environment until the moisture evaporates.
