Notes About the Discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle
the disc by its edge. Do not
touch the surface.
Dust, fingerprints, or scratches
on the disc may cause it to
malfunction.
• Do not resurface the playing
side of a disc to remove
surface scratches.
10)Protect the power cord from
being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from
the apparatus.
11)Only use attachments/
accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
• 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.
12)Use only with the cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer,
or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution
when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.
• After playing, store the disc in
its case.
• Clean the disc with a cleaning
cloth. Wipe the disc from the
center out.
13)Unplug this apparatus during
lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of
time.

On temperature increases
Heat may build up inside the
player during charging or if it is
being used for a long time. This
is not a malfunction.
On operation
• 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 for about half
an hour until the moisture
evaporates. Wipe off moisture
attached to the LCD surface
with tissue etc. Turn on the
power again later.
Precautions
Road safety
Do not use the monitor unit and
headphones while driving,
cycling, or operating any
motorized vehicle. Doing so
may create a traffic hazard and is
illegal in some areas. It can also
be potentially dangerous to play
your headsets at high volume
while walking, especially at
pedestrian crossings. You
should exercise extreme caution
or discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations.
On placement
• Do not place the player in a
confined space such as a
bookshelf or similar unit.
• Do not cover the ventilation of
the player with newspapers,
tablecloths, curtains, etc. And
do not place the player on a
soft surface, such as a rug.
• Do not place the player and
adaptors in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust,
sand, moisture, rain, or
• Keep the lens on the player
clean and do not touch it.
Touching the lens may
damage the lens and cause the
player to malfunction. Leave
the disc lid closed except when
you insert or remove discs.
• Do not use the player in an
area subject to excessive dust
or cigarette smoke. Dust build-
up or cigarette smoke residue
on internal components such
as the lens may cause the
player to malfunction.
On safety
mechanical shock, or in a car
with its windows closed.
• Do not place the player in an
inclined position. It is
designed to be operated in a
horizontal position only.
• Keep the player and discs
away from equipment with
strong magnet, such as
microwave ovens, or large
loudspeakers.
• Do not drop or apply strong
shock.
Should any solid object or liquid
fall into the cabinet, unplug the
player and have it checked by
qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
On power sources
• If you are not going to use the
player for a long time, be sure
to disconnect the player from
the wall outlet. To disconnect
the AC power cord, grasp the
plug itself; never pull the cord.
• Do not touch the AC power
cord or the AC adaptor with
wet hands. Doing so may
cause shock hazard.
On Liquid Crystal Display
• Although manufactured with
high precision technology, the
LCDmay occasionally display
dots of various colors. That is
not a malfunction.
• Do not place or drop any
object onto the LCD surface.
Also, do not apply pressure
from hands or elbows.
Do not place heavy objects on
the player and accessories.
• Use a commercially available
AC plug adaptor, if necessary,
depending on the design of the
wall outlet.
• Do not damage the LCD
surface with a sharp edged
tool.
AC power cord

• Do not connect the AC power
cord to a traveler’s electric
transformer, which may
generate heat and cause a
malfunction.

On rechargeable battery
• Because of the battery’s
limited life, its capacity
gradually deteriorates over
time and repeated use.
Exchange a new one for the
old one when the battery holds
about only half the normal
period.
On headphones
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.
• Preventing hearing damage:
Avoid using headphones at
high volumes. Hearing experts
advise against continuous,
loud, and extended play. If you
experience a ringing in your
ears, reduce the volume or
discontinue use.
On replacement of parts
In the events that this player is
repaired, repaired parts may be
collected for reuse or recycling
purposes.
• To prevent battery
• Showing consideration for
others: Keep the volume at a
moderate level. This will allow
you to hear external sounds
and still be considerate to the
people around you.
deterioration, charge the
battery at least once every half
a year or every year.
• Certain countries may regulate
disposal of the battery used to
power this product. Please
consult with your local
authority.
On connecting to the HDMI
OUT jack
Observe the following as
improper handling may damage
the HDMI OUT jack and the
connector.
• Carefully align the HDMI
OUT jack on the right of the
player and the HDMI
connector by checking their
shapes. Make sure the
connector is not upside down
or tilted.
On cleaning
• Clean the cabinet, panel, and
controls with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use
any type of abrasive pad,
scouring powder or solvent
such as alcohol or benzine.
• Wipe the LCD surface with the
soft dry cloth lightly. To
prevent dirt buildup, wipe it
frequently.
On AC adaptor and car
battery adaptor
• Use the supplied adaptors for
the player, as other adaptors
may cause a malfunction.
• Do not disassemble or reverse-
engineer.
• Do not touch the metal parts,
as it may cause a short and
damage the adaptors,
especially if touched by other
metal objects.
Do not wipe the LCD surface
with a wet cloth. If water
enters, a malfunction may
result.
• If picture/sound is distorted,
the lens may be covered with
dust. In this case, use a
commercially-available
blower brush for camera
lenses to clean the lens.
Avoid touching the lens
directly during cleaning.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while
listening to a section with very
low level inputs or no audio
signals. If you do, the speakers
may be damaged when a peak
level section is played.
• Be sure to disconnect the
HDMI cable when moving the
player.
• Hold the HDMI connector
straight when connecting or
disconnecting the HDMI
cable. Do not twist or force the
HDMI connector into the
HDMI OUT jack.
