• Take out any discs from the tray when you  
move the player. If you don’t, the disc may  
be damaged.  
• Disconnect the AC power cord and all other  
cables from the player when you move the  
player.  
Precautions  
This equipment has been tested and found to  
comply with the limits set out in the EMC  
Directive using a connection cable shorter  
than 3 metres.  
On power sources  
• The player is not disconnected from the AC  
power source as long as it is connected to the  
wall outlet, even if the player itself has been  
turned off.  
On placement  
• Place the player in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the  
player.  
• Do not place the player on a soft surface  
such as a rug that might block the ventilation  
holes.  
• Do not install this player in a confined space,  
such as a bookshelf or similar unit.  
• Do not place the player in a location near  
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct  
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical  
shock.  
• Disconnect the player from the wall outlet if  
you are not going to use the player for a long  
time. To disconnect the AC power cord,  
grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.  
• Observe following points to prevent the AC  
power cord being damaged. Do not use the  
AC power cord if it is damaged, as doing so  
may result in an electric shock or fire.  
– Do not pinch the AC power cord between  
the player and wall, shelf, etc.  
– Do not put anything heavy on the AC  
power cord or pull on the AC power cord  
itself.  
• Do not place the player outdoors, in  
vehicles, on ships, or on other vessels.  
• 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 half an hour until the  
moisture evaporates.  
On adjusting volume  
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a  
section with very low level inputs or no audio  
signals. Your ears and the speakers may be  
damaged when the sound level reaches the  
peak.  
• Do not install the player in an inclined  
position. It is designed to be operated in a  
horizontal position only.  
• Do not place metal objects in front of the  
front panel. It may limit reception of radio  
waves.  
On cleaning  
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a  
soft cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad,  
scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or  
benzine.  
On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners  
Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners  
(including wet or spray types). These may  
cause the apparatus to malfunction.  
• Do not place the player in a place where  
medical equipment is in use. It may cause a  
malfunction of medical instruments.  
• If you use a pacemaker or other medical  
device, consult your physician or the

Dust, fingerprints, or scratches on the  
disc may cause it to malfunction.  
• Do not expose the disc to direct  
sunlight or heat sources such as hot air  
ducts, or leave it in a car parked in  
direct sunlight as the temperature may

Since communication via the wireless  
LAN function is established by radio  
waves, the wireless signal may be  
susceptible to interception. To protect  
wireless communication, this player  
supports various security functions. Be  
sure to correctly configure the security  
settings in accordance with your network  
environment.  
No Security  
Although you can easily make settings,  
anyone can intercept wireless  
communication or intrude into your  
wireless network, even without any  
sophisticated tools. Keep in mind that  
there is a risk of unauthorized access or  
interception of data.

WEP is a legacy security technology that  
enables older devices, which do not  
support TKIP/AES, to be connected.
