abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated
incorrectly, it may malfunction.
If such a problem occurs, do the following:
1 Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on
again.
2 If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug
and plug in the unit, and then turn the power on.
