Precautions
On safety
* Caution — The use of optical instruments with this
product will increase eye hazard.
* Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the player and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
On power sources
¢ The player is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.
* If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be
sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet. To
disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the
plug itself; never pull the cord.
¢ Should the AC power cord (mains lead) need to be
changed, have it done at a qualified service shop only.
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 on the bottom.
* Do not place the player in a location near heat sources,
or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
mechanical shock.

location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture
may condense on the lenses inside the player. Should

case, remove the disc and leave the player turned on for
about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.
On adjusting volume
e Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion
with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you
do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level
portion is played.
On cleaning
* Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvent such as alcohol or benzine. £
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
