inside of the player becomes dry and operational.

• If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc with a soft and dry cloth by moving the cloth from the center hole toward the outer edge.

• Before connecting other components to this player, be sure to turn them all off.

• Do not move the player while a disc is being played, or the disc may be scratched or

broken, and the player’s internal parts may be damaged.

• Do not put a flower vase filled with water or any small metal objects on the player.

• Be careful not to put your hand into the disc tray.

• Do not place anything other than the disc in the disc tray.

• Exterior interference such as lightning and static electricity can affect normal opera-

tion of this player. If this occurs, turn the player off and on again with the POWER but-

ton, or disconnect and then reconnect the AC power cord to the AC power outlet. The

player will operate normally.

• Be sure to remove the disc and turn off the player after use.
