• Take out any discs when you move the  
player. If you don’t, the disc may be  
damaged.  
• Disconnect the AC power cord and all other  
cables from the player when you move the  
player.  
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 meters.  
On power sources  
• The player is not disconnected from the AC  
power source as long as it is connected to the  
wall outlet, even if the player itself has been  
turned off.  
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.  
• 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,  
grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.  
• Observe following points to prevent the AC  
power cord being damaged. Do not use the  
AC power cord if it is damaged, as doing so  
may result in an electric shock or fire.  
– Do not pinch the AC power cord between  
the player and wall, shelf, etc.  
– Do not put anything heavy on the AC  
power cord or pull on the AC power cord  
itself.  
• 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.  
• 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  
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 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.  
• Do not place heavy or unstable objects on  
the player.  
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.  
• Do not place any objects other than discs on  
the disc tray. Doing so may cause damage to  
the player or the object.

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.

• Some files may not play depending on the  
file format, file encoding, recording  
condition, or DLNA server condition.  
• Some files recorded or edited on a PC may  
not play.  
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.  
• The player can recognize the following files  
or folders in BDs, DVDs, CDs and USB  
devices:  
– up to folders in the 9th layer, including the  
root folder  
– up to 500 files/folders in a single layer  
• The player can recognize the following files  
or folders stored in the DLNA server:  
– up to folders in the 19th layer  
– up to 999 files/folders in a single layer  
• Some USB devices may not work with this  
player.  
• The player can recognize Mass Storage  
Class (MSC) devices (such as flash memory  
or an HDD), Still Image Capture Device  
(SICD) class devices and 101 keyboard  
(front USB jack only).  
• To avoid data corruption or damage to the  
USB memory or devices, turn the player off  
when connecting or removing the USB  
memory or devices.  
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.  
WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (AES)  
AES is a security technology that uses an  
advanced security method that is distinct  
from WEP and TKIP.  
• The player may not play high bit rate video  
files on DATA CDs smoothly. You are  
recommended to play such files using a  
DATA DVD or DATA BD.  
AES assures a higher security level than  
WEP or TKIP.
