Introduction
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. 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 unit.
■ Moisture condensation occurs during the
following 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 the cold wind
from the 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.
Precautions
Notes on handling
■ Do not shock the LCD panel. It may cause unit
damage and malfunction.
■ When shipping the unit, the original shipping carton
and packing materials come in handy. For fully
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 to
contact the unit for prolonged period. They 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, 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.

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 cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and
benzine, as they may damage the surface of the unit.
Notes on locating
■ 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.
■ To avoid damage to this product, never place or store
the unit in direct sunlight; hot, humid areas; or areas
subject to excessive dust or vibration.
■ Always place the
TV on the floor or
a sturdy, level,
stable surface
that can support
the weight of the
unit. Use a sturdy
tie between the
TV’s rear hook
and the rear wall, pillar, etc., to secure the TV.
If you use a TV stand, fix the TV by using the attached
band.

■ Do not use the unit when moisture condensation
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 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.
