correctly, you will help prevent potentially
negative consequences for the environment and
human health which could otherwise be caused
by inappropriate waste handling of the battery.
The recycling of the materials will help to
conserve natural resources.
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.
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.
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.
• 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.
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.
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.

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.
• Be sure to disconnect the HDMI cable when
moving the player.
– Do not put anything heavy on the AC
power cord (mains lead) or pull on the AC
power cord (mains lead) itself.
On adjusting volume
• 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.
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a
section with very low level inputs or no audio

About wireless LAN security
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.
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 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 centre out.
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.
• 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.
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.
AES assures a higher security level than
WEP or TKIP.
