Copy Protection
This Unit supports Macrovision copy protection.
On DVD discs that include a copy protection code, if the contents of the
DVD disc are copied using a VCR, the copy protection code prevents the
videotape copy from playing normally.
Recommended Measures for Optimum Picture Excellence
This Unit is a precision device constructed using extremely accurate technology.
• The disc cannot be played if the disc drive component is worn out or if the internal pick up lens is dirty.
To obtain optimum picture quality, the Unit should be checked (cleaning and replacement of some parts) every 1,000 hours.
Note that this period varies depending on the environment (temperature, humidity, dust, etc.) in which the Unit is used.
Contact your authorized Sharp supplier for details.
Warning of Dew Formation
Dew may form on the pickup lens in the following conditions.
• Immediately after a heater has been turned on.
• In a steamy or very humid room.
• When the unit is suddenly moved from a cold environment to a warm one.
If dew forms inside this unit, it may not operate properly.
In this case, turn on the power and wait about one hour for the dew to evaporate.
