Precautions
On placement
• Place the player in a location
with adequate ventilation to
prevent heat build-up in the
player.
• Do not place the player on a
soft surface such as a rug that
might block the ventilation
holes.
• Do not install this player in a
confined space, such as a
bookshelf or similar unit.
• Do not place the player in a
location near heat sources, or
in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, or
mechanical shock.
• Do not place the player
outdoors, in vehicles, on ships,
or on other vessels.
• If the player is brought directly
from a cold to a warm location,
or is placed in a very damp
room, moisture may condense
on the lenses inside the player.
Should this occur, the player
may not operate properly. In
this case, remove the disc and
leave the player turned on for
about half an hour until the
moisture evaporates.
• Do not install the player in an
inclined position. It is
designed to be operated in a
horizontal position only.
• Do not place metal objects in
front of the front panel. It may
limit reception of radio waves.
• Do not place the player in a
place where medical
equipment is in use. It may
cause a malfunction of
medical instruments.
• If you use a pacemaker or
other medical device, consult
your physician or the
manufacturer of your medical
device before using the
wireless LAN function.
• Do not place heavy or unstable
objects on the player.
• Do not place any objects other
than discs on the disc tray.
Doing so may cause damage to
the player or the object.
• Take out any discs when you
move the player. If you don’t,
the disc may be damaged.
• Disconnect the AC power cord
and all other cables from the
player when you move the
player.
On power sources
• The player is not disconnected
from the AC power source as
long as it is connected to the

wall outlet if you are not going
to use the player for a long
time. To disconnect the AC
power cord, grasp the plug
itself; never pull the cord.
• Observe following points to
prevent the AC power cord
being damaged. Do not use the
AC power cord if it is
damaged, as doing so may
result in an electric shock or
fire.
– Do not pinch the AC power
cord between the player and
wall, shelf, etc.
– Do not put anything heavy
on the AC power cord or pull
on the AC power cord itself.

low level inputs or no audio
signals. If you do, your ears and
the speakers may be damaged
when a peak level section is
played.

will vary from person to person.
You must decide what works
best. If you experience any
discomfort, you should stop
watching the 3D video images
until the discomfort ends;
consult a doctor if you believe
necessary. You should also
review (i) the instruction manual
and/or the caution message of
any other device used with, or
Blu-ray Disc contents played
with this product and (ii) our
website (http://
esupport.sony.com/) for the
latest information. The vision of
young children (especially those
under six years old) is still under
development. Consult your
doctor (such as a pediatrician or
eye doctor) before allowing
young children to watch 3D
video images.
Adults should supervise young
