EMC NOTICE FOR THE PURCHASER/USER OF THE APPARATUS

1. Applicable standards and operating environment (For Europe)

The apparatus is compliant with:

zstandards EN55103-1 and EN55103-2 1996.11, and

zelectromagnetic environments E1, E2, E3, and E4.

Pre-requisite conditions to achieving compliance with the above standards

<1> Peripheral equipment to be connected to the apparatus and special

connecting cables

zThe purchaser/user is urged to use only equipment which has been recommended by us as

peripheral equipment to be connected to the apparatus.

zThe purchaser/user is urged to use only the connecting cables described below.

<2> For the connecting cables, use shielded cables which suit the intended

purpose of the apparatus.

zVideo signal connecting cables

Use double shielded coaxial cables, which are designed for 75-ohm type high-frequency

applications, for SDI (Serial Digital Interface).

Coaxial cables, which are designed for 75-ohm type high-frequency applications, are

recommended for analog video signals.

zAudio signal connecting cables

If your apparatus supports AES/EBU serial digital audio signals, use cables designed for AES/EBU.

Use shielded cables, which provide quality performance for high-frequency transmission

applications, for analog audio signals.

zOther connecting cables (IEEE1394, USB)

Use shielded cables, which provide quality performance for high-frequency applications, as

connecting cables.

zWhen connecting to the DVI signal terminal, use a cable with a ferrite core.

zIf your apparatus is supplied with ferrite core(s), they must be attached on cable(s) following

instructions in this manual.

3. Performance level

The performance level of the apparatus is equivalent to or better than the performance level required

by these standards.

However, the apparatus may be adversely affected by interference if it is being used in an EMC

environment, such as an area where strong electromagnetic fields are generated (by the presence of

signal transmission towers, cellular phones, etc.). In order to minimize the adverse effects of the

interference on the apparatus in cases like this, it is recommended that the following steps be taken

with the apparatus being affected and with its operating environment:

1. Place the apparatus at a distance from the source of the interference.

2. Change the direction of the apparatus.

3. Change the connection method used for the apparatus.

4. Connect the apparatus to another power outlet where the power is not shared by any other

appliances.
