In case of products that for safety, performance or data  
integrity reasons require a permanent connection with  
an incorporated battery, this battery should be replaced  
by qualified service staff only.  
To ensure that the battery will be treated properly, hand  
over the product at end-of-life to the applicable  
collection point for the recycling of electrical and  
electronic equipment.  
• Do not place the player in a place where medical  
equipment is in use. It may cause a malfunction of  
medical instruments.  
• If you use a pacemaker or other medical device,  
consult your physician or the manufacturer of  
your medical device before using the wireless  
LAN function.  
• This player should be installed and operated with  
a minimum distance of at least 20 cm or more  
between the player and a person’s body  
(excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and  
ankles).  
For all other batteries, please view the section on how  
to remove the battery from the product safely. Hand the  
battery over to the applicable collection point for the  
recycling of waste batteries.  
• Do not place heavy or unstable objects on the  
player.  
• Do not place any objects other than discs on the  
disc tray. Doing so may cause damage to the  
player or the object.  
For more detailed information about recycling of this  
product or battery, please contact your local Civic  
Office, your household waste disposal service or the  
shop where you purchased the product.  
Precautions  
• Take out any discs when you move 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.  
• This unit operates on 220–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.  
Check that the unit’s operating voltage is identical  
with your local power supply.  
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects  
filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.  
• Install this unit so that the mains lead can be  
unplugged from the wall socket immediately in the  
event of trouble.  
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.  
• Disconnect the player from the wall outlet if you  
are not going to use the player for a long time. To  
disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp  
the plug itself; never pull the cord.  
• Observe following points to prevent the AC  
power cord (mains lead) being damaged. Do not  
use the AC power cord (mains lead) if it is  
damaged, as doing so may result in an electric  
shock or fire.  
– Do not pinch the AC power cord (mains lead)  
between the player and wall, shelf, etc.  
– Do not put anything heavy on the AC power  
cord (mains lead) or pull on the AC power cord  
(mains lead) itself.  
Precautions  
This equipment has been tested and found to  
comply with the limits set out in the EMC Directive  
using a connection cable shorter than 3 metres.  
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 install this player in a confined space, such  
as a bookshelf or similar unit.  
• Do not place the player in a location near heat  
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,  
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  
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.  
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, your ears and the speakers may  
be damaged when a peak level section is played.  
On cleaning  
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft  
cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring  
powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.  
• Do not install the player in an inclined position. It  
is designed to be operated in a horizontal position  
only.  
• Do not place metal objects in front of the front  
panel. It may limit reception of radio waves.  
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.

dealer.  
Copy Protection  
Please be advised of the advanced content  
protection systems used in both Blu-ray Disc™ and  
DVD media. These systems, called AACS  
(Advanced Access Content System) and CSS  
(Content Scramble System), may contain some  
restrictions on playback, analogue output, and other  
similar features. The operation of this product and  
the restrictions placed may vary depending on the

On watching 3D video images  
Some people may experience discomfort (such as  
eye strain, fatigue, or nausea) while watching 3D  
video images. Sony recommends that all viewers  
take regular breaks while watching 3D video  
images. The length and frequency of necessary  
breaks will vary from person to person. You must  
decide what works best. If you experience any  
discomfort, you should stop watching the 3D video  
images until the discomfort ends; consult a doctor if  
you believe necessary. You should also review (i)  
the instruction manual and/or the caution message  
of any other device used with, or Blu-ray Disc  
contents played with this product and (ii) our  
website* for the latest information. The vision of  
young children (especially those under six years  
old) is still under development. Consult your doctor  
(such as a pediatrician or eye doctor) before  
allowing young children to watch 3D video images.  
Adults should supervise young children to ensure  
they follow the recommendations listed above.

About wireless LAN security  
Since communication via the wireless LAN  
function is established by radio waves, the  
wireless signal may be susceptible to  
interception. To protect wireless  
communication, this player supports various  
security functions. Be sure to correctly  
configure the security settings in accordance  
with your network environment.  
• 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.  
– A disc that has cellophane tape or sticker  
adhesive on it.  
• Do not resurface the playing side of a disc to  
remove surface scratches.  
No Security  
Although you can easily make settings,  
anyone can intercept wireless  
communication or intrude into your wireless  
network, even without any sophisticated  
tools. Keep in mind that there is a risk of  
unauthorized access or interception of data.  
WEP  
WEP applies security to communications to  
prevent outsiders from intercepting  
communications or intruding into your  
wireless network. WEP is a legacy security  
technology that enables older devices, which  
do not support TKIP/AES, to be connected.  
WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (TKIP)  
TKIP is a security technology developed to  
correct for the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP  
assures a higher security level than WEP.
