accordance with the operating
Instructions are the sole responsibility
of the user.

Extremely high precision technology is
employed to produce the LCD Monitor
screen featuring a total of approximately
200,000 pixels. The result is more than

99.99% effective pixels with a mere

0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit.
However, this is not a malfunction and
does not affect the recorded picture.

≥If the SD Multi AV Device is used

continuously for a long time or used at a
high ambient temperature, red, blue,
green or white dots may appear on the
screen and be recorded on a still picture.
This is due to the rise of the temperature
inside the body. This is caused by a
characteristic of the C-MOS sensor and is
not a failure. Under this condition, turn the
SD Multi AV Device off and leave it for a
while.

≥The manufacturer shall in no event be

liable for the loss of recordings due to
malfunction or defect of this SD Multi AV
Device, its accessories or Memory Card.

≥Please note that the actual controls and

components, menu items, etc. of your SD
Multi AV Device may look somewhat
different from those shown in the
illustrations in these Operating
Instructions.
