The mains lead on this equipment is supplied
with a molded plug incorporating a fuse. The
value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face
of the plug.
If it requires replacing, a fuse approved to
BS1362 of the same rating must be used.
Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted
if the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse
cover is required, it must be of the same colour as
the pin face of the plug. Replacement covers are
available from your dealer.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power
points in your house or the cable is not long
enough to reach a power point, you should
obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead
or consult your dealer for assistance.
However, if there is no alternative to cutting
off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely
dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to
a mains jack, as there is a risk of shock hazard
from the bared flexible cord.
To disconnect the apparatus from the mains, the
plug must be pulled out from the mains socket,
therefore the mains plug shall be readily operable.

IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY
INFORMATION FOR 3D PICTURES.
Read and understand the following safety
information before using the 3D function.
Some viewers may experience discomfort
●
while viewing 3D TV such as dizziness,
nausea, and headaches.
If you experience any such symptom, stop
viewing 3D TV, remove the 3D Active
Glasses, and rest.
Watching 3D images for an extended
●
period of time may cause eye strain. If you
feel eye strain, stop viewing 3D TV, remove
your 3D Active Glasses, and rest.
A responsible adult should frequently check
●
on children who are using the 3D function.
If there are any reports of tired eyes,
headaches, dizziness, or nausea, have the
child stop viewing 3D TV and rest.
Do not use the 3D Active Glasses for other
●
purposes (Such as general eyeglasses,
sunglasses, protective goggles, etc.).
Do not use the 3D function or 3D Active
●
Glasses while walking or moving around.
Using the 3D function or 3D Active Glasses
while moving around may cause you to
bump into objects, trip, and/or fall, and
cause serious injury.
If you want to enjoy 3D content, connect
●
a 3D device (3D compliant AV receiver or
TV) to the player's HDMI OUT port using a
high-speed HDMI cable. Put on 3D glasses
before playing the 3D content.
The player outputs 3D signals only through
●
HDMI cable connected to the HDMI OUT
port.
As the video resolution in 3D play mode
●
is fixed according to the resolution of the
original 3D video, you can not change the
resolution to your preference.
Some functions such as BD Wise, screen
●
size adjustment, and resolution adjustment
may not operate properly in 3D play mode.
You must use a high-speed HDMI cable for
●
proper output of the 3D signal.

●
screen from the TV when watching 3D
images. For example, if you have a 46-inch
screen, stay 138 inches (11.5 feet) from the
screen.
Place the 3D video screen at eye level for
●
the best 3D picture.
When the player is connected to some 3D
●
devices, the 3D effect may not function
properly.
