This section is extracted from instruction
manual. (DVP-K380 : 3-082-863-11)

Precautions

On safety

• Caution – The use of optical instruments

with this product will increase eye hazard.

• 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

• 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 turned off.

• 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 (mains lead), grasp the plug
itself; never pull the cord.

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 place the player in a location near

heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical
shock.

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
turned on for about half an hour until the
moisture evaporates.

• When you move the player, take out any

discs. If you don’t, the disc may be
damaged.

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.

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.

On cleaning discs

Do not use a commercially available cleaning
disc. It may cause a malfunction.

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