When a problem has occurred such as no picture or no sound, either turn off the main power and then turn it back on again, or unplug the AC cord and then plug it in again.

■Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments

•When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.

•Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction.

(Storage temperature: –20°C to +60°C)
