General precautions

Safety precautions

Before installing and using your new

DVD Player, please become
familiar with all the information
contained in this manual.

Please keep this manual in a safe place
for future reference.

• This disc player is a Class 1 Laser
Product. It uses a visible/invisible laser
beam that could cause hazardous
radiation if exposed directly to the
consumer. Use of controls,
adjustments, or procedures other than
those specified in this manual may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.

• Do not open or attempt to repair
this unit yourself. Refer any repairs to
a qualified service technician.

• Be sure that the volume level of the
player does not interfere with the
driver’s hearing. The driver must be
aware and be able to react to sound
outside the vehicle.

• This product should not be used
with an installed video screen which
is visible to the driver of the vehicle.

• In some states and countries, the
viewing of images on a screeen inside
a vehicle is illegal, even by people
other than the driver. Be sure that the
installation and operation of this
system is in compliance with local
rules and regulations.

Installation precautions

Choose a mounting location in your
vehicle where the unit will not distract
or otherwise interfere with the driver’s
ability to control the vehicle.

Before final installation, temporarily
connect the wiring according to the
diagram near the end of this manual,
check it to ensure that it has been
connected properly, and test the unit
to make sure it is working correctly.

Use only the installation parts and
hardware provided with the unit to
ensure proper installation. Using other
parts can cause malfunction and
possible damage to your DVD
player.

If installation requires drilling holes or
other modifications to the vehicle,
consult with your nearest dealer or
professional car audio installer.

Do not install this unit at an angle in
excess of 30º from horizontal, as it
may affect performance.

Avoid installing the unit in a location
which is subject to high temperatures,
direct sunlight, hot air from such
sources as heaters or exhaust lines,
or where it will be subject to contact
with dust, dirt, moisture or excessive
vibration.

Turn the unit off before cleaning it, and
clean it only with a dry, soft cloth.

SHOCK HAZARD! Do not open the
case of this product. There are

dangerous voltages present within the
unit. There are no user-serviceable
parts within the unit.

Moisture on pick-up lens

Operating precautions

In humid climates, moisture may
condense or even freeze on the pick­up lens which reads the data from
your disc. This may cause temporary
failure of the player.

Should this occur, turn the player on
without a disc, and leave it on for a
while. The unit will warm up and the
moisture will evaporate. In freezing
weather, this may take 1-2 hours.

Turn the unit off when it is not in use.

Do not switch the player between ON
and OFF rapidly. Please wait about
10 seconds between turning the unit
ON after turning it OFF, and vice versa.

Do not use broken, scratched, dusty,
oily or warped discs in the player.

Do not attempt to insert anything other
than 12 cm (4-3/4”) diameter discs in
the player.

Notes on using this product

the FCC rules.

Operation is subject the following two
conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
(2) This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause
undesireable operation.

Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate this
device.

This disc player is designed and
manufactured to respond to the
Region Management Information that
is recorded on a DVD disc. If the
Region number described on the DVD
does not correspond to the Region
number of the player, the disc will not
play properly.

Should this unit fail to operate
