Caring for others
Keep the volume at  a moderate level. This will allow
you to hear outside sounds and to be considerate of
the people around you.

Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or
solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

Do not use a commercially available cleaning disc. It
may cause a malfunction.

Caution: This player is capable of holding a still video
image or on-screen display image on your television
screen indefinitely. If you leave the still video image or
on-screen display image displayed on your TV for an
extended period of time, you risk permanent damage

Plasma Display Panel televisions and projection
televisions are especially susceptible to this.

If you have any questions or problems concerning
your player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
