Do not place objects on this unit

Do not place any objects on top of this unit.

Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

Do not use this unit on shaggy rugs, beds, sofas, etc., or wrapped in cloth, etc. Doing so will prevent the heat from dispersing, leading to damage.

Do not expose to heat.

Do not place this unit on top of an amplifier or other component that generates heat. When rack mounting it, to avoid the heat given off by the amplifier or other audio component, place it on a shelf below the amplifier.

• Turn off the unit's power when not using it.
• Depending on signal conditions, striped patterns may appear on a TV screen and noise may enter the sound of radio broadcasts when the unit's power is on. If this happens, turn the unit's power off.

About condensation

If this unit is moved suddenly from a cold place into a warm room (in winter, for example) or if the temperature in the room in which this unit is installed rises suddenly due to heater operation, etc., water droplets (condensation) may form inside (on operating parts and the lens). When condensation is present, this unit will not operate properly and playback is not possible. Let this unit stand at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours with the power turned on (the time depends on the extent of condensation). The water droplets will dissipate and playback will become possible. Condensation can also occur in the summer if this unit is directly exposed to the air flow from an air-conditioner. If this happens, move this unit to a different place.
