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, your ears and the speakers may 
be damaged when a peak level section is played.

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.

On replacement of parts

In the events that this player is repaired, repaired 
parts may be collected for reuse or recycling 
purposes.

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 rear 

of the player and the HDMI connector by 
checking their shapes. Make sure the connector is 
not upside down or tilted.

• 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.

If you have any questions or problems concerning 
your player, please consult your nearest Sony 
dealer.
