PRECAUTIONS

The WJ-MX50 is a sensitive, high quality instrument and should be treated with care. And because it is an electrical device, the danger of electric shock exists if it is used inappropriately.

DON'T

Do not attempt to disassemble the instrument. In order to prevent electrical shock, do not remove screws or covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

X Do not abuse the instrument. Avoid striking, shaking,

etc. It could be damaged by improper handling or storage.

X Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when

cleaning the instrument body.

X Do not expose the instrument to water or moisture, and

do not operate it in wet or humid areas.

X Do not use the instrument in an extreme environment

where either high temperature or high humidity exist.

DO’S

Do refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• Do handle the instrument with care.

Do use a dry cloth to clean the instrument when dirty. In case the dirt is hard to remove, use mild detergent and wipe gently.

Do take immediate action if ever the instrument does become wet. Turn the power off and refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Moisture can damage the instrument and also create a danger of electric shock.

Use the instrument under conditions where temperatures are within 32°F-104°F {0°C-40° C), and humidity is below 907.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL

(1) If the input video signal does not meet with the NTSC

color standard, this could cause a disturbance of synchronization. {The picture may jitter or tear)

(2) If the signal to noise ratio (S/N) of the input signal is

very low, this may be reflected in a low quality picture.

(3) If the source input video signal is very jittery, as in the

case of a poor VTR playback signal, this could cause a

disturbance in synchronization or color.

(4) If tracking noise is seen on the TV monitor, this could

cause a distarbance in synchronization. It is necessary to adjust the tracking control of the input VTR.

(5) When either a character generator signal or characters

from a key camera is supplied, the edge of the characters might become rough as shown below under certain electronic conditions.

Flag waving {top of picture curls) may appear when

(6)

certain VTR's are used as input signals, (due to AFC time constant)

When the Externa! Key Video Signal is supplied to the

(7)

EXT. CAMEFtA IN connector, this signal will be used as

a reference sync signal for the WJ-MX50. So if this signal is jittery, as in the case of VTR playback signal, this could cause a disturbance in synchronization.
