Precautions
On safety
• This set is not disconnected from the
AC power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the set
itself has been turned off.
• Completely disconnect the power cord
(mains lead) from the wall socket if the
unit is not going to be used for an extended
period of time. When unplugging the unit,
always grip the plug. Never pull the cord
itself.
• Should any solid objects or liquid fall into
the player, unplug the player and have
it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN
12 V (external power input) jack.
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 put the player in the carrying pouch
when it is operating.
On handling the player
• Keep the lens on the player clean and do
not touch it. If you do so, the lens may be
damaged and the player will not operate
properly. Leave the disc compartment lid
closed except when you insert or remove
discs.
• Do not expose the player to mechanical
shock, such as by dropping or compressing
the player. Do not put any heavy object on
top of the player. The player and the disc
may be damaged.
• Do not leave the player in a location:
– near heat sources
– in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or sand, moisture, rain,
mechanical shock
– on an uneven surface
– in a car with its windows closed
– near equipment utilizing strong
magnetism such as a microwave oven or
megavolume speakers
• If the player causes interference to radio or
television reception, turn off the player or
move it away from the radio or television.
Moisture condensation
If the player is brought directly from a cold to
a warm location, or is placed in a very damp
place, moisture may condense on the lenses
of the player. Moisture condensation may not
only cause the player to malfunction, but also
damage the disc and the parts of the player.
Therefore, remove the disc when you are not
using the player.
When moisture condensation occurs, remove
the disc and leave the player for a few hours
until the moisture evaporates. If the player
does not operate properly after a few hours,
consult your Sony dealer.
On handling the LCD screen
• The LCD is manufactured using high-
precision technology. You may, however,
see tiny black points and/or bright points
(red, blue, green) that continuously appear
on the LCD. This is a normal result of the
manufacturing process and does not indicate
a malfunction.
• Do not wipe the LCD with a wet cloth.
Liquid may seep into the LCD and cause a
malfunction.
• Do not put or drop anything on top of the
LCD. Do not exert pressure on the LCD
with your hand or elbow.
• If the player is brought directly from a cold
to a warm location, moisture may condense
on the LCD. Should this occur, wipe the
condensation off thoroughly before using
the player again. Sheets of tissue paper are
recommended. When the LCD is cold, and
moisture condenses again even after wiping
it away, wait until the LCD surface becomes
as warm as the room temperature.
