• If a problem should occur, have the set inspected at your store of purchase.

• Do not insert objects or poke in the space between the operation panel and the main unit when the panel is tilted.

• Do not place anything on the display when the panel is tilted.

• The remote control unit may not work if the remote control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight.

• In extremely cold weather, the display movement may slow down and the display may darken, but this is not a malfunction. The display will work normally when the temperature increases.

What is MP3/WMA/AAC?

MP3, WMA, and AAC are the audio file formats which have penetrated into PC users and become a standard format. MP3 is an audio compression method and classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards. WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio compression method developed by Microsoft Corporation. AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is a newer audio compression method developed for used with video compression standards MPEG-2 and MPEG-4, and has been adopted as the standard audio format of the iPod and iTunes by Apple Inc. These features compress the original audio data to about 10 percent of its initial size with a high sound quality. This means that about 10 audio CDs can be recorded on a CD-R/RW disc to allow a long listening time without having to change CDs.

NX509E
