playback or function of discs that do not conform to these

specifications.

Playing discs created on computers

or BD/DVD recorders

• The player may not be able to play discs recorded using

a computer. Record discs in a format playable on this

player. For details, contact the dealer.

• The player may not be able to play discs recorded using

a computer or a BD/DVD recorder, if burn quality is not

Additional information

Do not place objects on the player.

Do not place any objects on top of the player.

Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

Do not use the player on shaggy rugs, beds, sofas, etc., or

wrapped in cloth, etc. Doing so will prevent the heat from

dispersing, leading to damage.

Do not expose to heat.

Do not place the player on top of an amplifier or other

component that generates heat. When placing it in a rack,

to avoid the heat given off by the amplifier or other audio

component, place it on a shelf below the amplifier.

Turn off the player's power when

not using it.

condensation is present, the player will not operate

properly and playback is not possible. Let the player stand

at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours with the power turned

on (the time depends on the extent of condensation). The

water droplets will dissipate and playback will become

possible. Condensation can also occur in the summer if the

player is exposed to the direct wind from an air-conditioner.

If this happens, move the player to a different place.

Cleaning the product

• Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when

cleaning the player.

• Clean the player using a soft cloth. For tough dirt, apply

some neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts water to a

soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then

wipe again with a soft, dry cloth.

• Alcohol, thinner, benzene, insecticides, etc., could cause

the print or paint to peel off. Also, leaving rubber or vinyl

products in contact with the player for long periods of

time could mar the cabinet.

• When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc., read the

cautions included with the wipes carefully.

Caution for when the unit is

installed in a rack with a glass door

Do not press  OPEN/CLOSE on the remote control to open

the disc tray while the glass door is closed. The door will

hamper the movement of the disc tray, and the unit could

be damaged.
