The C-1VL contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe
interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that
this should happen, turn off the C-1VL, wait at least five seconds, and then turn it back on again.
