instructions before operating the player.
Retain instructions—Retain the safety and operating
instructions for future reference.
Warnings—Adhere to all warnings on the player and in the
operating instructions.
Follow instructions—Follow all operating and use
instructions.
Cleaning—Unplug this player from the power outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning.
•
Disc—Do not use irregularly shaped discs such as heart or
star-shaped discs as they may cause the DVD player to
malfunction. Do not stick paper, tape, or glue on the disc. Do
not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not
touch the surface of the disc. Handle the disc by its edge.

2
NS-VDVD1 Vertical DVD player
may be intentionally fixed by software producers. Since this
DVD player plays discs according to the disc contents the
software producers designed, some playback functions may
not be available. Also refer to the instructions supplied with the
discs.
•
Regional Coding—Both the DVD player and disc are coded by
region. These regional codes must match in order for the disc
to play. If the codes don’t match, the disc won’t play. This DVD
player’s code is Region 1. DVDs with other regional codes
cannot be played in this DVD player.
•
•
•
Handling—Take care not to drop the player or subject it to
strong shocks, which may cause damage or malfunction.
Attachments—Use of attachments not recommended by the
player manufacturer may cause hazards.
Accessories—Do not place this player on
an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table. The player may fall, causing serious
injury to a child or adult, and serious
damage to the player. Use only with a cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold
with the player. Any mounting of the player should follow the
manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer. A player and
cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the player
and cart combination to overturn.

The object may fall causing serious personal injury and serious
damage to the player.
•
Placement
Avoid placing the player in the following places:
•
Under direct sunlight or near a source of heat, such as a
heater or header duct.
•
•
•
Where it is very dusty or sandy.
In wet or humid places, such as a bathroom.
Near sources of strong magnetism, such as a television or a
magnet.
•
Where there is a lot of movement or vibration, such as on a
car dashboard or on an unstable shelf.
•
•
Where it is extremely hot or cold.
Where the player is exposed to rain or water.

NS-VDVD1 Vertical DVD player
•
Grounding or polarization—This player may be equipped
with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will only fit into the power
outlet one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat this safety feature of the
polarized plug.
•
•
Power cord protection—Power supply cords should be routed
so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at
plugs, outlets, and the point where they exit from the player.
Lightning and power surges—For added protection during a
lightning storm, or when the player is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the power outlet.
This will prevent damage to the player due to lightning and
power-line surges.
•
•
Overloading—Do not overload power outlets, extension cords,
or integrated outlets as this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.
Object and liquid entry—Never push objects of any kind into
this player. Doing so could cause a fire or electric shock. Never
spill liquid of any kind on the player.
•
•
Servicing—Do not try to service this player yourself. Service
must be done by qualified service personnel only.
Damages requiring service—Unplug this player from the
power outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
•
•
When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
player.
•
•
If the player has been exposed to rain or water.
If the player does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions. The incorrect
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the player to its normal operation.
•
•
If the player has been dropped or damaged in any way.
When the player exhibits a distinct change in performance
which may indicate a need for service.
•
Replacement parts—When replacement parts are required,
make sure that the service technician uses replacement parts
that are specified by the manufacturer or that have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

this player, ask the service technician to perform safety checks
to make sure that the player is in correct operating condition.

chapter number, or track number, respectively.
• Discs other than those listed above cannot be played.
• Non-standardized discs, even if they are labeled as above,
cannot be played.
Notes
• The performance of recorded discs depends on the method
and quality of disc-burning. In some cases, the disc may not
be playable.
• Do not store discs in a place subject to direct sunlight or near
heat source.
• Do not store discs in place subject to moisture and dust such
as a bathroom or near a humidifier.
• Store discs vertically in a case. Stacking or placing object on
discs outside or their case may cause warping.
