Precautions
9. Notes on Handling
• When shipping the unit, use the original ship-
ping carton and packing materials. For maxi-
mum protection, repack the unit as it was
originally packed at the factory.
• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray,
near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic
products in contact with the unit for a long time.
They will leave marks on the finish.
• The top and rear panels of the unit
ma
y
become warm after a long period of use.
This is not a malfunction.
• When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove
the disc and turn off the power.
• If you do not use the unit for a long period, the
unit may not function properly in the future. Turn
on and use the unit occasionally.
10.To Obtain a Clear Picture
The unit is a high technology, precision device. If
the optical pickup lens and disc drive parts are
dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes
poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend reg-
ular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts
replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending
on the operating environment. For details, contact
your nearest dealer.
11.Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the unit.
Please read the following carefully.
• What is moisture condensation?
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 con-
dense on the optical pick-up lens inside the unit,
one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.
• Moisture condensation occurs in the follow-
ing cases.
– When you bring the unit directly from a cold
place to a warm place.
– When you use the unit in a room where you
just turned on the heater, or a place where
cold airflow from an air conditioner directly
hits the unit.
– In summer, when you use the unit in a hot
and humid place just after you move the unit
from an air conditioned room.
– When you use the unit in a humid place.
•
Do not use the unit when moisture conden-
sation may occur.
If you use the unit in such a
situation, it may damage discs and internal
parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord
(mains lead) of the unit to the wall outlet (the
mains), turn on the unit, and leave it on for two
or three hours. After a few hours, the unit will
have warmed up and evaporated any moisture.
Keep the unit connected to the wall outlet (the
mains) and moisture condensation will seldom
occur.
Memory Preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation
batteries. A built-in memory power backup system
preserves the contents of memory during power
failures and even when the power cord is
unplugged.
The power cord must be plugged-in to charge the
backup system. The memory preservation period
after the unit has been turned off varies depending
on climate and placement of the unit. On average,
memory contents are protected for a period of a
few weeks after the time the unit has been turned
off. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed
to a very humid climate.
