On handing the LCD screen
• The LCD is manufactured using high precision technology.
You may, however, see tiny black points and/or bright
points(red,blue,green) that continuously appear on the
LCD. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process
and does not indicate a malfunction.
• Do not scratch the LCD or exert pressure on it. This could
cause a malfunction.

duce a residual image on the screen. This is not a mal-
function. When the player returns to normal temperature,
the screen returns to normal.

image is displayed for a lengthy period of time. The resid-
ual image disappears in a while.
If you are going to leave the player for a long time, turn off
the power.
• The screen becomes warm during operation. This is nor-
mal and does not indicate a malfunction.
On headphones
Preventing hearing damaged
Avoid using headphones at high volume. Hearing experts
advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you
experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discon-
tinue use.
Caring for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to
hear outside sounds and to be considerate to the people
around you.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with
very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the
speakers may be damaged when a peak level section is
played.
Road safety
Do not use the monitor unit and headphones while
driving,cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It may
create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can
also be potentially dangerous to play your headsets at high
volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings.
You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
• Do not install the monitor display where viewable by the
driver.
