Troubleshooting (continued)
■

When this product is subjected to strong external interfer-
ence (mechanical shock, excessive static electricity,
abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is
operated incorrectly, it may malfunction.
If such a problem occurs, do the following:
■
Moisture condensation
When the unit has condensation inside, the disc signals
cannot be read, and the unit may not function properly.
In the following cases, condensation may form inside the
unit.
●
Shortly after turning on a heater.

2. Remove the battery.
3. Leave the unit completely unpowered for approxi-
mately 30 seconds.
4. Plug the AC adaptor back into the wall socket and re-
operate the unit.
