panel are operated or where the tape is not running, the

monitor display is automatically turned off in order to

protect the monitor. When the next VTR operation is

started, the monitor display comes back on.

Although the LCD monitor has been manufactured

using technology with extremely high levels of

precision, some pixels may be missing from parts of

the screen or some pixels may remain lighted.

These missing or lighted pixels will not be recorded.
