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.

operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and  
leave the player turned on for about half an hour  
until the moisture evaporates.  
11)Only use attachments/accessories specified by the  
manufacturer.  
12)Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or  
table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the  
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when
