PRECAUTIONS  
Precautions on viewing stereoscopic 3D images  
• Do not view stereoscopic 3D images if you have a history of photosensitivity, heart disease or poor health. This may  
cause the symptoms to worsen.  
• If you experience any health problems such as fatigue and discomfort while viewing stereoscopic 3D images, immediately  
discontinue viewing. Continuing viewing after symptoms appear may cause health risks. Take a break until the symptoms  
have completely disappeared.  
• Ages of 5–6 or over are recommended for viewing stereoscopic 3D images. Symptoms such as fatigue and discomfort  
are difficult to determine in young children, therefore they may suddenly become ill. When viewing 3D images with  
children, please watch for eye strain symptoms.  
• When viewing stereoscopic 3D images, take a moderate break after watching one title. Viewing for extended periods may  
cause visual strain.  
Precautions when cleaning this product  
Turn off the main power and unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet before handling.  
To clean the outer cabinet, periodically wipe it with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.).  
• For severe dirt, soak a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) in some neutral detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth out  
thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe again with a soft, dry cloth.  
• Do not use chemicals or a chemically treated cloth for cleaning. It may damage the cabinet finish.  
Notes on using Wireless LAN  
• When this player is connected to a wireless LAN network, transmissions between the wireless LAN components inside  
this player and a wireless LAN compatible broadband router (commercially available) are carried out.  
Precautions on using Wireless LAN  
• The following devices, radio stations, etc. use the same frequency bands. Do not use wireless LAN near them.  
Manufacturing/scientific/diagnostic equipment such as pacemakers, etc.  
Specified low power radio stations (radio stations that do not require a license)  
If this player is used near these devices, there is a possibility that radio wave interference may occur. Therefore  
transmission may not be possible or speed may be reduced.  
• Mobile phones, radios, etc. use different radio frequency bands from wireless LAN, so there will not be any effect on the  
transmissions of these devices or wireless LAN if this player is used near them.  
However, if a wireless LAN product is placed near one of these devices, audio or video noise may occur due to the  
electromagnetic waves that emit from wireless LAN products.  
• Radio waves will pass through the wood, glass, etc. used in standard housing, however they will not pass through  
reinforcing bars, metal, concrete, etc. Radio waves will not pass through walls and floors if these materials are used.

(page 29).  
For the BD video discs compatible with BONUSVIEW/BD-  
LIVE, you can enjoy additional contents by copying the data

are output as 2D at all times.  
When you start playback of this player, the input selector of  
the LCD TV will automatically switch to the LCD TV input  
terminal connected to the player and the playback image will  
appear on the screen, even if you are watching a TV program.

Other  
Problem  
Possible causes and solutions  
The TV operates incorrectly.  
The Player heats up during use.  
POWER indicator will remain lit.  
• Some TVs with wireless remote control capability may operate incorrectly when  
using the remote control of this Player. Use such TVs away from this Player.  
• When using this Player, the console cabinet may heat up depending on the usage  
environment. This is not a malfunction.  
• When the AC cord is removed from the outlet, the POWER indicator will remain lit  
for a short period. This is normal and is not a malfunction.  
POWER indicator  
To Reset this Player  
• If this Player receives strong interference from a source such as excessive static electricity,  
strong external noise, malfunction of power supply, or voltage caused by lightning during  
use or a wrong operation is sent to the Player, errors like the Player not accepting an  
operation may occur.  
Press and hold POWER on the Player until the POWER indicator disappears.  
POWER  
• When a reset is performed while the power is on, the Player will turn off. Turn the power on again. At this point, it may take  
a few moments for the system processing to finish before the Player is ready for use. During the system processing, the BD/  
DVD/CD mode indicator on the Player will blink. Once the system processing has finished, the indicator will finish blinking and  
then light up normally. You can operate the Player when the BD/DVD/CD mode indicator is lit.  
• Since all settings including the language setting stored in memory are also reset when a reset has been performed, they must  
be set again.  
• When the problem persists even after performing a reset, unplug the AC cord and plug it in again. If this does not solve the  
problem, contact the nearest service center approved by SHARP.

radiadores, salidas de aire caliente, estufas u otros productos (incluyendo amplificadores)  
que produzcan calor.  
Tormentas eléctricas — Para una mayor protección de este producto durante una  
tormenta de rayos, y cuando se deja descuidado y sin usar durante largos periodos de  
tiempo, desenchúfelo del toma de corriente de la pared. Esto evitará daños al producto  
debido a rayos y subidas de tensión.
