To store the rechargeable battery
The battery is consumed gradually as time elapses even if
is not used. In order to prevent the battery from 
deteriorating, store it as follows:

• Remove the battery from the player after use.

(Even if the player is off, it still uses some power.)

• Use up the battery completely on the player before 

storing it.

• Keep the battery in a cool location to 

prevent it from deteriorating.

• Charge and use the battery at least once every 6 months.

On charging the rechargeable battery
• Heat may build up in the battery while charging. 

This is not a malfunction.

• When the battery life of a fully charged battery becomes

about half the normal life, you may need to replace the
battery with a new one.

• Disconnect the battery from the player as soon as it has

been charged. Leaving it connected may result in reduced
battery performance.

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.

• Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to

prevent heat build-up in the player.

• Do not put any heavy object on top of the player. The

player and the discs may be damaged.

• Do not leave the player in a location near heat sources, or

in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
sand, moisture, rain, mechanical shock, on an unlevel
surface, or in a car with its windows closed.

• Do not wrap the player in a cloth or blanket during use as

it may cause malfunction or serious accidents.

• If the player causes interference to radio or television

reception, turn off the player or move it away from the
radio or television.

• Keep the player and discs away from equipment with

strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loud-
speakers.

• Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as

a bookshelf or similar unit.

• If the player is brought directly from a cold to warm loca-

tion, or is placed in a very damp place, moisture may con-
dense on the lenses of the player. Should this occur, the
player may not operate properly. In this case, remove the
disc and leave the player for about half an hour until the
moisture evaporates.

• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g, heart, square, star)

cannot be played on this player. Do not use such discs.

• While operating, do not move, shake or otherwise allow

any shock to the player. It may cause a malfunction.

not subject to vibration.

• Do not touch the disc if it is still spinning when you open

the lid.

• Before moving the player, remove any disc from it. 

If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.

warm!
