Introduction

About This Manual

This manual is organized as follows:

· The manual mainly explains operations using the

buttons and controls on the unit. You can also use the

buttons on the remote control if they have the same or

similar names (or marks) as those on the unit.

If operation using the remote control is different from

that using the unit, it is then explained.

· Basic and common information that is the same for many

functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated in

each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the

information about turning on/off the unit, setting the

volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which are

explained in the section "Common Operations" on pages 9

to 12.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the

following cases:

Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case, leave

the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates,

unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in again.

Internal heat

A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat

buildup inside the unit.

For safety, observe the following carefully:

· Make sure there is good ventilation around the

unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage

the unit.

· DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation

openings or holes. If they are blocked by a

newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be
