Precautions

On safety

' Caution 7 The use of optical instruments with this product
will increase eye hazard.

0 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

0 Before operating the player, check that the operating
voltage of the player is identical with your local power
supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the
nameplate at the rear of the player.

' The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if
the unit itself has been turned off.

0 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.

0 AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified
service shop.

On placement

' Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent heat buildup in the player.

0 Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a rug that
might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.

0 Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or
in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
mechanical shock.

On operation

' 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
an hour until the moisture evaporates.

On adjusting volume

0 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

0 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.
