 When not using this unit for a long period of time, or when

cleaning it,  be sure to disconnect the power plug from the
AC outlet.

 Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. And do not

place this unit where people will tread on the cord. Do not
overload wall outlets or power cords as this can result in a
fire or electric shock.

 Avoid using this unit under the following conditions:

– in extremely hot, cold or humid places,
– in dusty places,
– near appliances generating strong magnetic fields,
– in places subject to direct sunlight,
– in badly ventilated places,
– in automobiles with doors closed.

 Do not cover the ventilation slots while in operation as this

could obstruct the required ventilation flow.

 When dust accumulates on the screen surface, clean it with

a soft cloth.

SCREEN BURN

 It is not recommended to keep a certain still image displayed on screen for a long time as well as displaying extremely bright

images on screen. This may cause a burning (sticking) phenomenon on the screen of cathode-ray tube. This problem does
not occur as far as displaying normal video playback motion images.
