with the unit as this could damage the unit.
Fuse replacement
When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one that matches the

replacement, there may be an internal malfunction. In such a case,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Precautions
• Do not mount the monitor where it will obstruct the driver’s view.
• Do not touch the TV aerial and monitor at the same time during
storms. You may get an electric shock.

operating it.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit that are
not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
