recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts

replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating

environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

11. Notes on Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation damages the DVD Changer.

Please read the following carefully.

Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold

drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside

of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical

pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of

the DVD Changer.

· Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.

- When you bring the DVD Changer directly from a cold place to a

warm place.

- When you use the DVD Changer in a room where you just turned

on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner

directly hits the unit.

- In summer, when you use the DVD Changer in a hot and humid

place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.

- When you use the DVD Changer in a humid place.

· Do not use the DVD Changer when moisture condensation may

occur.

If you use the DVD Changer in such a situation, it may damage

discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord

of the DVD Changer to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD Changer,

and leave it for two or three hours. After a few hours, the DVD

Changer will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep

the DVD Changer connected to the wall outlet and moisture

condensation will seldom occur.
