Notes on moisture condensation

Moisture condensation damages the unit. Please read the following carefully.

Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day and drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on this unitʼs internal optical pick-up lens, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.

■ Moisture condensation may occur in the following situations:

When you move the unit from a cold area to a warm area.

When you use the unit in a room in which the heat was just turned on.

When you use the unit in an area where cold air from an air conditioner directly hits the unit.

When you use the unit in a humid area.

■Never use the unit when moisture condensation may occur

Using the unit when moisture condensation exists may damage discs and internal parts. Connect the power cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit, remove the disc, and leave it for two or three hours. After two or three hours, the unit will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Leaving the TV connected to the wall outlet will help prevent moisture condensation in the TV or DVD Player.
