If you move this unit from a cold place into a warm 

room, or, if the room in which this unit is installed is 

heated rapidly, condensation (moisture) may form 

internally or on the lens surface. If condensation forms, 

it may not only cause incorrect operation such as weak-

ening of the image, but also damage the disc and/or 

parts. In order to prevent against condensation, set up 

this unit in the room approximately one hour before it 

is to be used. If by some chance condensation does 

form, turn on the main power switch then wait 1-2 

hours before use. Do not use the lamp during this time.

This product includes a lamp component that contains 

mercury. Please consult your state and local regulations 

regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in the trash.

MovieMate uses a mercury lamp with a high internal 

pressure as its light source. Mercury lamps have the 

following characteristics.
• Lamp brightness decreases once the rated lamp usage 

time has passed.

• When the lamp reaches the end of its life, it may enter 

a state where it will no longer light, or it may explode 

with a loud noise due to impact, deterioration, or the 

expiration of its usage time.

• Depending on the individual difference of each lamp 

and the conditions of use, there is a considerable 

difference in the time it takes for the lamp to reach the 

end of its life. Make sure you have a replacement lamp 

available.

• The potential for the lamp to explode increases once 

the lamp usage time has been exceeded.

When the lamp replacement message appears, 

promptly replace the lamp with a new one.

• Although the liquid crystal panel is made using very 

precise high technology, you may see some black 

pixels, or pixels that are always lit red, blue, or 

green.You may also be able to see lines with irregular 

brightness or color.

These are normal characteristics of liquid crystal 

panels, and are not indicative of any malfunction. Be 

aware of this fact.
