the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings; or if placed in a built-
in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the
flow of air through the ventilation openings, there should be free space
of at least 20 cm (8 in.) and an opening behind the appliance.
9.
Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources

center.
4. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ
THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
The voltage of the available power supply differs according to country
or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area where
this unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., AC 230 V, 50
Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the rear panel.
Worldwide models are equipped with a voltage selector to conform
to local power supplies. Be sure to set this switch to match the voltage
of the power supply in your area before plugging in the unit.
5. Do not touch this unit with wet hands
Do not handle this unit or power cord when your hands are wet or
damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take this unit to an
authorized service center for inspection.
6. Location of this unit
· Place this unit in a well-ventilated location.
Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of this
unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If ventilation is
blocked, this unit may overheat and malfunction.
· Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heating units as this
unit's internal temperature may rise and shorten the life of the pickup.
· Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by vibrations
from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the unit on or above
one of the speakers.
· Be sure this unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never place it on
its side or on a slanted surface as it may malfunction.
· When you place this DVD Receiver near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted.
In this case, place the DVD Receiver away from the TV, radio, or
VCR.
7. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the
cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a
weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe
off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth.
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents
or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the panel
lettering.
8. Notes on Handling
· When shipping the DVD Receiver, use the original shipping carton
and packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit as it
was originally packed at the factory.
· Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the DVD
Receiver. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the
DVD Receiver for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.
Precautions
· The top and rear panels of the DVD Receiver may become warm
after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
· When the DVD Receiver is not in use, be sure to remove the disc
and turn off the power.
· If you do not use the DVD Receiver for a long period, the unit may
not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the DVD Receiver
occasionally.
9. To Obtain a Clear Picture
The DVD Receiver is a high technology, precision device. If the optical
pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture
quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend
regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement)
every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment.
For details, contact your nearest dealer.
10. Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the DVD Receiver.
Please read the following carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold
drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside
of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical
pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of
the DVD Receiver.
· Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.
- When you bring the DVD Receiver directly from a cold place to a
warm place.
- When you use the DVD Receiver in a room where you just turned on
the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner
directly hits the unit.
- In summer, when you use the DVD Receiver in a hot and humid
place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.
- When you use the DVD Receiver in a humid place.
· Do not use the DVD Receiver when moisture condensation may occur.
If you use the DVD Receiver in such a situation, it may damage discs
and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the
DVD Receiver to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD Receiver, and leave
it for two or three hours. After a few hours, the DVD Receiver will
have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD
Receiver connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation
will seldom occur.
