2. PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

For your safety, the driver should not operate the controls while driving.
Also, while driving, keep the volume to a level at which external sounds can be heard.

1. When the inside of the car is very cold and

the player is used soon after switching

on the heater, moisture may form on the
disc or the optical parts of the player and
proper playback may not be possible.

If moisture forms on the disc, wipe it off
with a soft cloth. If moisture forms on

the optical parts of the player, do not
use the player for about one hour. The

condensation will disappear naturally
allowing normal operation.

2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which

cause severe vibration may cause the
sound to skip.

3. This unit uses a precision mechanism.
Even in the event that trouble arises,
never open the case, disassemble the
unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.

Front Panel / Generalities

For a longer service life, be sure to read the

following cautions.

• Do not allow any liquids on the set from

drinks, umbrellas, etc. Doing so may
damage the internal circuitry.

• Do not disassemble or modify the set in
any way. Doing so may result in damage.

• Do not let cigarettes burn the display.

Doing so may damage or deform the
body.

• If a problem should occur, have the set

inspected at your store of purchase.

• The remote control unit may not work if
the remote control sensor is exposed to

direct sunlight.

Cleaning the body

Use a soft, dry cloth and gently wipe off

the dirt.

For tough dirt, apply some neutral

detergent diluted in water to a soft cloth,
wipe off the dirt gently, then wipe again
with a dry cloth.

Do not use benzene, thinner, car cleaner,

etc., as these substances may damage
the body or cause the paint to peel. Also,
leaving rubber or plastic products in

contact with the body for long periods of

time may cause stains.

2. Press the left side of the DCP until it locks.

CAUTION

• The DCP can easily be damaged by shocks. After removing it, be carefully not to drop it or

subject it to strong shocks.

• Once the [OPEN] button is pressed and DCP is unlocked, car vibrations can cause the DCP to

fall.

• The connector connecting the source unit and the DCP is an extremely important part. Be

careful not to damage it by pressing on it with ngernails, screwdrivers, etc.

Note:

If the DCP is dirty, wipe off the dirt with a soft, dry cloth only.
