1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
Precautions
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has
two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
10)Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus.
Road safety
Do not use the monitor unit and headphones
while driving, cycling, or operating any
motorized vehicle. Doing so may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can also be
potentially dangerous to play your headsets at
high volume while walking, especially at
pedestrian crossings. You should exercise
extreme caution or discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
On safety
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
• 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 adaptor,
grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
• Do not touch the AC adaptor with wet hands.
Doing so may cause shock hazard.
11)Only use attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.
12)Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution
when moving the cart/apparatus combination to
avoid injury from tip-over.
• Use a commercially available AC plug
adaptor, if necessary, depending on the design
of the wall outlet.
AC adaptor (supplied)
Wall outlet
AC plug adaptor
(not supplied)
13)Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.
14)Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped.
• Do not connect the AC adaptor to a traveler’s
electric transformer, which may generate heat
and cause a malfunction.
On temperature increases
Heat may build up inside the player during
charging or if it is being used for a long time.
This is not a malfunction.
Do not take apart or remodel the player. Doing so
can result in electric shock. Consult your nearest
Sony dealer or Sony Service Center for exchange of
rechargeable batteries, internal checks or repair.

On placement
On Liquid Crystal Display
• Although manufactured with high precision
technology, the LCD may occasionally
display dots of various colors. That is not a
malfunction.
• Do not place or drop any object onto the LCD
surface. Also, do not apply pressure from
hands or elbows.
• Do not place the player in a confined space
such as a bookshelf or similar unit.
• Do not cover the ventilation of the player with
newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. And do
not place the player on a soft surface, such as
a rug.
• Do not place the player and adaptors in a
location near heat sources, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, sand,
moisture, rain, or mechanical shock, or in a car
with its windows closed.
• Do not place the player in an inclined position.
It is designed to be operated in a horizontal
position only.
• Keep the player and discs away from
equipment with strong magnet, such as
microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.
• Do not drop or apply strong shock.
Do not place heavy objects on the player and
accessories.
• Do not damage the LCD surface with a sharp
edged tool.
On rechargeable battery
• Because of the battery’s limited life, its
capacity gradually deteriorates over time and
repeated use. Exchange a new one for the old
one when the battery holds about only half the
normal period.
• To prevent battery deterioration, charge the
battery at least once every half a year or every
year.
• Certain countries may regulate disposal of the
battery used to power this product. Please
consult with your local authority.
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 for about half an
hour until the moisture evaporates. Wipe off
moisture attached to the LCD surface with
tissue etc. Turn on the power again later.
• Keep the lens on the player clean and do not
touch it. Touching the lens may damage the
lens and cause the player to malfunction.
Leave the disc lid closed except when you
insert or remove discs.
On AC adaptor and car battery adaptor
• Use the supplied adaptors for the player, as
other adaptors may cause a malfunction.
• Do not disassemble or reverse-engineer.
• Do not touch the metal parts, as it may cause a
short and damage the adaptors, especially if
touched by other metal objects.
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 headphones
• Do not use the player in an area subject to
excessive dust or cigarette smoke. Dust build-
up or cigarette smoke residue on internal
components such as the lens may cause the
player to malfunction.
• Preventing hearing damage: Avoid using
headphones at high volumes. Hearing experts
advise against continuous, loud, and extended
play. If you experience a ringing in your ears,
reduce the volume or discontinue use.
• Showing consideration for others: Keep the
volume at a moderate level. This will allow
you to hear external sounds and still be
considerate to the people around you.
• Do not turn off the player during software
update, as it may cause a malfunction.

• 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.
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.
Notes About the Discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its
edge. Do not touch the surface.
Dust, fingerprints, or scratches on the disc
may cause it to malfunction.
• Wipe the LCD surface with the soft dry cloth
lightly. To prevent dirt buildup, wipe it
frequently.
Do not wipe the LCD surface with a wet cloth.
If water enters, a malfunction may result.
• If picture/sound is distorted, the lens may be
covered with dust. In this case, use a
commercially-available blower brush for
camera lenses to clean the lens.
Avoid touching the lens directly during
cleaning.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or
heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in
a car parked in direct sunlight as the
temperature may rise considerably inside the
car.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
• Clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the
disc from the center out.
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
right of the player and the HDMI connector by
checking their shapes. Make sure the
connector is not upside down or tilted.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available disc/lens cleaners, or
anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• If you have printed the disc’s label, dry the
label before playing.
• Do not use the following discs.
– A lens cleaning disc.
– A disc that has a non-standard shape (e.g.,
card, heart).
– A disc with a label or sticker on it.
