BEWARE OF CONDENSATION
When the player (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place or used after
asudden temperature change, there is the danger of condensation. Water vapor in the air
could condense on the mechanism or the laser pickup. If droplets of water form on these
parts, correct playback will be impossible because the laser cannot read the information from
the disc correctly. To prevent this, if you are going to use the player in a condition where
condensation could occur, you should leave the player for 1 or 2 hours after plugging it into
an AC outlet depending on the amount of condensation. If this is done, the player willstabilize
at the temperature of its surroundings.
HANDLINGTHEDISCS
