On placement

• Place the player in a location with adequate

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

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.

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.

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.

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 (http://www.sony-asia.com/support/) 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.

If you have any questions or problems concerning

your player, please consult your nearest Sony

dealer.
