Handling the LCD screen
On the LCD screen
Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it may be damaged. Be careful when placing the unit
by a window.
If the unit is used in a cold place, horizontal lines or a residual image may appear on the LCD screen.
This is not a malfunction. The LCD screen returns to normal when the unit warms up.
If a still picture or a fixed picture is displayed for a long time, an image may remain superimposed on
the LCD screen as a ghosting image.
Bright point and vanishing point on the LCD screen
The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high precision technology, but a very small
proportion of pixels may be "stuck", either always off (black), always on (red, green, or blue), or flashing.
In addition, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such "stuck" pixels may
appear spontaneously over a long period of use. These problems are not a malfunction.
