Handling Cautions
Formation of Condensation
Due to sharp changes in temperature and humidity, condensation may form if warm air comes in contact with any cold parts inside the player.
• When condensation forms inside the player, the player may not operate correctly. If this occurs, leave the player at room temperature until the
inside of the player becomes dry and operational.
• If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc with a soft and dry cloth by moving the cloth from the center hole toward the outer edge.
• Before connecting other components to this player, be sure to turn them all off.
• Do not move the player while a disc is being played, or the disc may be scratched or
broken, and the player’s internal parts may be damaged.
• Do not put a flower vase filled with water or any small metal objects on the player.
• Be careful not to put your hand into the disc tray.
• Do not place anything other than the disc in the disc tray.
• Exterior interference such as lightning and static electricity can affect normal opera-
tion of this player. If this occurs, turn the player off and on again with the POWER but-
ton, or disconnect and then reconnect the AC power cord to the AC power outlet. The
player will operate normally.
• Be sure to remove the disc and turn off the player after use.
• Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet when you don’t intend to use the
player for long periods of time.
• Clean the disc by wiping in a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc.
