Care and Maintenance

DVD Player

The following guidelines will help you extend the life of your DVD player:

1. When cleaning the vehicle interior, do not get water or cleaning fluids on the unit.

2. The DVD player will not operate properly in extreme hot/cold or under damp conditions. In
case of such conditions, wait until the vehicle interior reaches a normal temperature or any
condensation on the disc player lens has evaporated before using the player.

3. Always remove the disc when the player is not in use.

4. The unit is designed with a vibration dampening disc mechanism to minimize interruption of
disc play due to normal vibration in a moving vehicle. However, occasional sound skips may
occur when driving on very rough roads. This will not scratch or damage the disc, and normal
play will resume when the rough conditions cease.

CD-R and CD-RW Capability

Depending on medi a type and method of "recording/burning", some CD -R/RWs may be
incompatible with this unit. After "recording/burning", the session must be closed. Please refer
to your software's recommended procedures for closing a disc/session. Review your recording
software to familiarize yourself with the correct "recording/burning" procedures. We recommend
using the latest versions of ROXIOTM or NEROTM burning software.

In addition, this unit will only recognize the CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio), .MP3 and .WMA
formats "recorded / burned" onto a CD-R/RW. This unit does not support .WAV, .OGG or other
formats.

Disc Care and Handling

Dirt, dust, scratches and warpage can cause skips in the playback and deterioration of sound
quality. Please follow these guidelines to take care of your compact discs.

1. Do not touch the disc surface.

2. Never use chemicals such as record sprays or household cleaners to clean discs, as they can
irreparably damage the disc’s surface.

3. Discs should be kept in their storage cases when not in use.

4. Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity for long periods.

5. Carefully wipe fingerprints, dust and dirt from the disc’s playing surface with a soft cloth.

Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc.

6. Do not stick paper, tape or disc labels on disc surfaces, as internal damage may occur.
