Handling The Lcd Screen; Before Cleaning - Sony SRX-R815P Safety Regulations

Precautions

Handling the LCD screen

• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can
damage the LCD screen.
Take care when you place the unit by a window.
• Do not push or scratch the LCD monitor's screen. Do not
place a heavy object on the LCD monitor's screen. This
may cause the screen to lose uniformity.
• If the unit is used in a cold place, horizontal lines or a
residual image may appear on the screen. This is not a
malfunction. When the monitor becomes warm, the
screen returns to normal.
• If a fixed picture such as a frame of a divided picture or
time code, or a still picture is displayed for a long time,
an image may remain on the screen and be superimposed
as a ghosting image.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.
On "Stuck" Pixels on a LCD Screen
The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high
precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at
least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels may
be "stuck", either always off (black), always on (red,
green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long period
of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid
crystal display, such "stuck" pixels may appear
spontaneously. These problems are not a malfunction.
On cleaning

Before cleaning

Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet.
On cleaning the monitor screen
The monitor screen surface is especially treated to reduce
reflection of light.
As incorrect maintenance may impair the performance of
the monitor, take care with respect to the following:
• Clean the screen with a soft cloth lightly moistened with
ethanol. Be sure to wipe lightly just the dirt places.
Moistening the cloth with too much ethanol or wiping
the screen may result in spreading the dirt.
A lens cleaning cloth may be useful to clean the screen.
• Do not use liquid other than ethanol to clean the screen.
• Be careful not to drip ethanol between the screen and the
body while cleaning.
• Wiping the screen with excessive force may scratch the
surface.
• Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, or
acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning
cloth, as they will damage the screen surface.
On cleaning the cabinet
• Clean the cabinet gently with a soft dry cloth. Stubborn
stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened
with mild detergent solution, followed by wiping with a
soft dry cloth.
• Use of alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide may
damage the finish of the cabinet or remove the
indications on the cabinet. Do not use these chemicals.
• If you rub on the cabinet with a stained cloth, the cabinet
may be scratched.
• If the cabinet is in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin
product for a long period of time, the finish of the cabinet
may deteriorate or the coating may come off.
On moisture condensation
If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm location,
or if ambient temperature suddenly rises, moisture may
form on the outer surface of the unit and/or inside of the
unit. This is known as condensation. If condensation
occurs, turn off the unit and wait until the condensation
clears before operating the unit. Operating the unit while
condensation is present may damage the unit.
On repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They
make an ideal container which to transport the unit.
