Precautions
Notes on handling
■ Do not subject the LCD panel to physical shock, such as
dropping it. It may cause unit damage and malfunction.
■ Retain the original shipping carton and packing
materials. For maximum protection when shipping,
repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.
■ Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide, near the
unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact
with the unit for prolonged periods of time. Doing so will
leave marks on the finish.
■ The top and rear panels of the unit may become warm
after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
■ When the unit is not in use, always 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.
Notes on locating the unit
■ Place the unit 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 become misaligned
and damage the unit.
■ When you place this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
playback picture may become poor and the sound may
be distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the
TV, radio, or VCR.
Notes on cleaning
Clean only with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
Notes on LCD
■ The color LCD is manufactured using extremely high
precision technology, but even so may include certain
pixels that do not operate properly (that do not light, that
remain lit constantly, etc.). We do our best to keep the
number of these defective pixels to a minimum, but
please understand that they cannot be completely
eliminated even with the most advanced manufacturing
technologies available today.
■ The fluorescent tube which illuminates the panel from
the inside will deteriorate with use. When the LCD
becomes dim, flickers, or does not illuminate, contact
your dealer for replacement.
■ The brightness of the LCD monitor differs slightly
depending on the viewing angles. Adjust the angle to
obtain the best viewing. (The recommended angle is 90
degrees to the monitor.)
Notes on moisture condensation
Moisture condensation damages the unit. Please read
the following carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you
pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day and drops of
water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way,
moisture may condense on this unit’s internal optical pick-
up lens, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.
■ Moisture condensation may occur in the following
situations:
• When you move the unit from a cold area to a warm
area.
• When you use the unit in a room in which the heat was
just turned on.
• When you use the unit in an area where cold air from an
air conditioner directly hits the unit.
• When you use the unit in a humid area.
■ Never use the unit when moisture condensation
may occur.
Using the unit when moisture condensation exists may
damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc,
connect the power cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn
on the unit, and leave it for two or three hours. After two
or three hours, the unit will have warmed up and
evaporated any moisture. Keep the unit connected to
the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom
occur.
