assured. Allow a clearance of 10 cm (4 in.) from the
rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm (2 in.) from each
side.
- Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or similar surface
that may block the ventilation openings.
- Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight
rack where ventilation may be impeded.
- To avoid internal heat build-up, do not cover the
ventilation openings on the rear panel.
5 Foreign objects and liquid -- Be careful that foreign
objects or liquid do not enter the unit through the
ventilation openings.
6 Carts and stands -- The unit should
be moved with care when placed or
mounted on a stand or cart.
Sudden stops, excessive force, or an

the AC outlet if the unit will not be used for several
months or more. When the cord is plugged in, a small
electrical current continues to flow into the unit, even if

ODUCTION

Handling the unit
When shipping the unit
The original shipping carton and packing materials come
in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it
was originally packed at the factory.
When setting the unit
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may
be distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit
away from the TV, radio, or VCR, or turn off the unit after
removing the disc.
To keep the surface clean
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near
the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact
with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks
on the surface.
Handling discs
Do not touch the playback side of the disc.
Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get
on the surface.
Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
Cleaning the unit
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty,
use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol,
benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of
the unit.
To obtain a clear picture
The DVD player is a high-tech, precision device. If the
optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn
down, the picture quality will be poor.
Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended
after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the
operating environment.)
For details, please contact your Aiwa dealer.
Cleaning discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture
quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc
with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray
intended for analog records.
Storing discs
After playing, store the disc in its case.
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat,
or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as
there may be a considerable temperature increase inside
the car.

via cable, play in public, or rent copyright material without
permission.

developed by Macrovision. Copy protection signals are
