• Close to radio or TV transmitters producing strong
electromagnetic fields.
• In direct sunlight or close to heaters for extended periods
To prevent electromagnetic interference from
portable communications devices
The use of portable telephones and other communications
devices near this unit can result in malfunctions.
It is recommended that the portable communications
devices near this unit be powered off.

Condensation

If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm location,
or if ambient temperature suddenly rises, moisture may
form on the outer surface of the unit and/or inside of the
unit. This is known as condensation. If condensation
occurs, turn off the unit and wait until the condensation
clears before operating the unit. Operating the unit while
condensation is present may damage the unit.

Parts Replacement

The carrier (transport mechanism) is a consumable part
that will need periodic replacement.
When operating at room temperature, a normal
replacement cycle will be about every five years.
However, this replacement cycle represents only a general
guideline and does not imply that the life expectancy of
these parts is guaranteed. For details on parts replacement,
contact your dealer.

LCD

Over a long period of use, because of the physical
characteristics of the liquid crystal display, "stuck" pixels
may appear spontaneously. These problems are not a
malfunction.

Precautions for Drive Units

Shocks and vibrations
Do not apply a shock to a drive unit. A disc may become
damaged if a drive unit in which a cartridge is loaded is
subjected to shock. Do not subject the drive unit to shocks
when a cartridge is inserted.
Transporting the drive unit
A disc may become damaged if a drive unit is subjected to
shock during transport. Before transporting the drive unit,
be sure to eject the cartridge.
