Precautions
Road safety
Do not use the monitor unit and
On placement
headphones while driving, cycling, or
operating any motorized vehicle. Doing so
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
some areas. It can also be potentially
dangerous to play your headsets at high
volume while walking, especially at
pedestrian crossings. You should exercise
extreme caution or discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
• Do not place the player in a confined
space such as a bookshelf or similar unit.
• Do not cover the ventilation of the player
with newspapers, tablecloths, curtains,
etc. And do not place the player on a soft
surface, such as a rug.
• Do not place the player and adaptors in a
location near heat sources, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust,
sand, moisture, rain, or mechanical
shock, or in a car with its windows
closed.
On safety
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.
• Do not place the player in an inclined
position. It is designed to be operated in
a horizontal position only.
• Keep the player and discs away from
equipment with strong magnet, such as
microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.
• Do not drop or apply strong shock.
Do not place heavy objects on the player
and accessories.
On power sources
• 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 adaptor, grasp the
plug itself; never pull the cord.
• Do not touch the AC adaptor with wet
hands. Doing so may cause shock hazard.
• Use a commercially available AC plug
adaptor, if necessary, depending on the
design of the wall outlet.
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 for about half an
hour until the moisture evaporates. Wipe
off moisture attached to the LCD surface
with tissue etc. Turn on the power again
later.

• Keep the lens on the player clean and do
not touch it. Touching the lens may
damage the lens and cause the player to
malfunction. Leave the disc lid closed
except when you insert or remove discs.
• Do not connect the AC adaptor to a
traveler’s electric transformer, which
may generate heat and cause a
malfunction.

ringing in your ears, reduce the volume
or discontinue use.
• Showing consideration for others: Keep
the volume at a moderate level. This will
allow you to hear outside sounds and still
be considerate to the people around you.
On Liquid Crystal Display
• Although manufactured with high
precision technology, the LCD may
occasionally display dots of various
colors. That is not a malfunction.
• Do not place or drop any object onto the
LCD surface. Also, do not apply pressure
from hands or elbows.
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.
• Wipe the LCD surface with the soft dry
cloth lightly. To prevent dirt buildup,
wipe it frequently. Do not wipe the LCD
surface with a wet cloth. If water enters,
a malfunction may result.
• If picture/sound is distorted, the lens may
be covered with dust. In this case, use a
commercially-available blower brush for
camera lenses to clean the lens.
Avoid touching the lens directly during
cleaning. Do not use cleaning discs or
disc/lens cleaners.
• Do not damage the LCD surface with a
sharp edged tool.
On rechargeable battery
• Because of the battery’s limited life, its
capacity gradually deteriorates over time
and repeated use. Exchange an old one
with a new one when the battery holds
about only half the normal period.
• To prevent battery deterioration, charge
the battery at least once every half a year
or every year.
• Certain countries may regulate disposal
of the battery used to power this product.
Please consult with your local authority.
On AC adaptor and car battery adaptor
• Use the supplied adaptors for the player,
as other adaptors may cause a
malfunction.

no audio signals. If you do, the speakers
may be damaged when a peak level section
is played.
On headphones
• Preventing hearing damage: Avoid using
headphones at high volumes. Hearing
