you believe necessary. You should also  
review (i) the instruction manual and/or the  
caution message of any other device used

• To keep the disc  
clean, handle the  
disc by its edge. Do  
not touch the  
surface.  
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.  
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  
rise considerably inside the car.  
• After playing, store the disc in its case.  
• Clean the disc with a  
cleaning cloth. Wipe  
the disc from the  
center out.  
• Do not use solvents  
No Security

• If you have printed the disc’s label, dry  
the label before playing.  
• 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.  
• Do not resurface the playing side of a  
disc to remove surface scratches.  
WEP  
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.  
WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (TKIP)  
TKIP is a security technology developed  
to correct the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP
