Precautions
Precautions
NOTES ON LOCATING
Place the SD-H400 on a level surface. Do not use it on a shaky or
unstable surface such as a wobbling table or inclined stand. The
loaded disc may come off the proper position and cause damage to
the SD-H400.
When you place this SD-H400 near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted.
In this case, place the SD-H400 away from the TV, radio, or VCR.
TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE
The SD-H400 is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pick-
up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality
deteriorates. 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.
NOTES ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture condensation damages the SD-H400. 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 SD-
H400.
Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases.
When you bring the SD-H400 directly from a cold place to a warm
place.
When you use the SD-H400 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 SD-H400 in a hot and humid place just
after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.
When you use the SD-H400 in a humid place.
Do not use the SD-H400 when moisture condensation may occur.
If you use the SD-H400 in such a situation, it may damage discs and
internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the SD-
H400 player to the wall outlet, turn on the SD-H400, and leave it for
two or three hours. After two or three hours, the SD-H400 will have
warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the SD-H400
connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom
occur.
Wait!
