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.

excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• 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

the player. If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.
• Disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead) and
all other cables from the player when you move
the player.
On power sources
• The player is not disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is connected to
the wall outlet, even if the player itself has been

disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp
the plug itself; never pull the cord.
