High and low temperature environments
• When the unit is used in a low temperature environment, the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed.
This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.
• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or
near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction. Refer to "Specifications"
on page 31 for information on proper storage temperatures.
