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

manufacturer of your medical device before

using the wireless LAN function.

• This player should be installed and operated

with a minimum distance of at least 20 cm or

more between the player and a person’s

body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists,

feet and ankles).

• Do not place heavy or unstable objects on

the player.

• Do not place any objects other than discs on

the disc tray. Doing so may cause damage to

the player or the object.

• Take out any discs when you move the

player. If you don’t, the disc may be

damaged.

• Disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead)

and all other cables from the player when

you move the player.

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.

– 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

Do not turn up the volume while listening to a

section with very low level inputs or no audio

signals. If you do, your ears and the speakers

may be damaged when a peak level section is

played.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a

soft cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad,

scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or

benzine.

On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners

Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners

(including wet or spray types). These may

cause the apparatus to malfunction.

On replacement of parts

In the events that this player is repaired,

repaired parts may be collected for reuse or

recycling purposes.

On connecting to the HDMI OUT jack

Observe the following as improper handling

may damage the HDMI OUT jack and the

connector.

• Carefully align the HDMI OUT jack on the

rear of the player and the HDMI connector

by checking their shapes. Make sure the

connector is not upside down or tilted.

• Be sure to disconnect the HDMI cable when

moving the player.

• 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.

On watching 3D video images

Some people may experience discomfort

(such as eye strain, fatigue, or nausea) while

watching 3D video images. Sony recommends

that all viewers take regular breaks while

watching 3D video images. The length and

frequency of necessary breaks will vary from

person to person. You must decide what works

best. If you experience any discomfort, you

should stop watching the 3D video images

until the discomfort ends; consult a doctor if

you believe necessary. You should also

review (i) the instruction manual and/or the

caution message of any other device used

with, or Blu-ray Disc contents played with this

product and (ii) our website* for the latest

information. The vision of young children

(especially those under six years old) is still

under development. Consult your doctor (such

as a pediatrician or eye doctor) before

allowing young children to watch 3D video

images.

Adults should supervise young children to

ensure they follow the recommendations

listed above.

FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,

YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU

SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY

ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY

FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.

applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend,

required by the Indemnified Party(s) in defense or

settlement of any claim. Sony and/or Indemnified

Party(s) reserve the right, at its own expense, to

assume the exclusive defense or settlement, and

control of any matter otherwise subject to

EULA.

HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES

The Sony Software is not fault-tolerant and is not

designed, manufactured or intended for use or

resale as on-line control equipment in hazardous

environments requiring fail-safe performance,

such as in the operation of nuclear facilities,

aircraft navigation or communication systems, air

traffic control, direct life support machines, or

weapons systems, in which the failure of the Sony

Software could lead to death, personal injury, or

severe physical or environmental damage ("High

Risk Activities"). SONY, EACH OF THE

THIRD PARTY LICENSORS, AND EACH OF

THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES

SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY EXPRESS

OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION

OF FITNESS FOR HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES.

RESTRICTIONS ON EXPORT OF

ENCRYPTION TECHNOLOGY

The Sony Software and the Content may contain

encryption technology. You acknowledge that

any export of Sony Software or the Content

containing encryption technology from your

residence or subsequent re-export of such

residence might require a licence or other

authorization from any governmental authority.

By accepting this licence agreement, you agree to

abide by all relevant U.S. export laws and

regulations in the purchase and use of the Sony

product being acquired, including but not limited

to those regulations relating to the export control

PERMITTED UNDER THE APPLICABLE

LAW. Any cause of action you may have with

respect to the Services must be commenced

within one (1) year after the claim or cause of

action arises to the maximum extent as permitted

ENTIRE AGREEMENT, NOTICE, WAIVER,

SEVERABILITY AND JURISDICTION

This EULA, the limited warranty accompanying

the Sony Product, Sony's then-current privacy

policy, and any additional terms and conditions

posted on the Services, together constitute the

entire agreement between you and Sony with

the Services, and the Content. Any notice by

Sony hereunder may be made by letter, e-mail, or

posting on the Services. The failure of Sony to

exercise or enforce any right or provision of this

EULA shall not constitute a waiver of such right

or provision. If any part of this EULA is held

invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision

shall be enforced to the maximum extent

permissible so as to maintain the intent of this

EULA, and the other parts will remain in full
