Before starting the procedure
Problems may be solved by simply turning the power on/off
or disconnecting/connecting the power cord, which is easier
than working on the connection, setting and operating
procedure. Try the simple measures on both the unit and
the connected device. If the problem is that the video or
audio is not output or the HDMI linked operation does not
work, disconnecting/connecting the HDMI cable may solve
it. When reconnecting, be careful not to wind the HDMI
cable since if wound the HDMI cable may not fit well. After
reconnecting, turn off and on the unit and the connected
device.
0 This unit contains a microPC for signal processing and
control functions. In very rare situations, severe
interference, noise from an external source, or static
electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event
that this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet, wait at least 5 seconds, and then plug it back in.
0 We are not responsible for reparations for damages
(such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings
caused by the unit's malfunction. Before you record
important data, make sure that the material will be
recorded correctly.
