communications. However, there is no  
guarantee that interference will not occur in a  
particular installation. If this equipment does  
cause harmful interference to radio or  
television reception, which can be determined  
by turning the equipment off and on, the user  
is encouraged to try to correct the interference  
by one or more of the following measures:

Directive using a connection cable shorter  
than 3 metres.  
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.

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 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.  
• 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.

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.

About wireless LAN security  
*10  
b
The player does not play animated PNG or  
animated GIF files.  
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.  
• Some files may not play depending on the  
file format, file encoding, recording  
condition, or Home Network server  
condition.  
• Some files edited on a PC may not play.  
• Some files may not be able to perform fast  
forward or fast reverse function.  
• The player does not play coded files such as  
DRM and Lossless.  
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.  
• The player can recognize the following files  
or folders in BDs, DVDs, CDs and USB  
devices:  
– up to folders in the 9th layer, including the  
root folder  
– up to 500 files/folders in a single layer  
• The player can recognize the following files  
or folders stored in the Home Network  
server:  
– up to folders in the 19th layer  
– up to 999 files/folders in a single layer

WEP  
• Do not use solvents such as benzine,  
thinner, commercially available disc/  
lens cleaners, or anti-static spray  
intended for vinyl LPs.  
• If you have printed the disc’s label, dry  
the label before playing.  
WEP applies security to  
communications to prevent outsiders  
from intercepting communications or  
intruding into your wireless network.  
WEP is a legacy security technology that  
enables older devices, which do not  
support TKIP/AES, to be connected.  
• Do not use the following discs.  
– A lens cleaning disc.  
– A disc that has a non-standard shape  
(e.g., card, heart).  
– A disc with a label or sticker on it.  
– A disc that has cellophane tape or  
sticker adhesive on it.  
WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (TKIP)  
TKIP is a security technology developed  
to correct the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP  
assures a higher security level than  
WEP.  
• Do not resurface the playing side of a  
disc to remove surface scratches.  
WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (AES)  
AES is a security technology that uses an  
advanced security method that is distinct  
from WEP and TKIP.  
AES assures a higher security level than  
WEP or TKIP.
