2. PRECAUTIONS

Owner’s manual

For your safety, the driver should not watch the DVD video/TV/VTR or operate the controls while driving. Please note that watching and operating the DVD video/TV/VTR while driving are prohibited by law in some countries. 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 (DVD/ CD) or the optical parts of the player and proper playback may not be possible. If moisture forms on the disc (DVD/CD), 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.

4. TV broadcast reception (when the optional TV tuner is connected) When receiving the TV broadcast, the strength of the signals changes since the car is moving, so in some cases it may not be possible to receive clear pictures.

• TV signals are strongly linear, so reception

is affected by buildings, mountains and other obstacles.

• External factors such as electric train lines,

a high voltage lines, and signal devices may disturb the picture or cause noise.

* If the reception is poor, switch to a station with

good reception.

5. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

WARNING

particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

INFORMATION FOR USERS:

CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS PRODUCT NOT APPROVED BY THE MANUFACTURER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND WILL VIOLATE FCC APPROVAL.

4. CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

English

Operation panel/Generalities

For a longer service life, be sure to read the following cautions.

• The operation panel will operate properly in a temperature range of 0 to 60qC.

• 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.

• Subjecting the operation panel to shocks may result in breakage, deformation or other damage.

• Do not let cigarettes burn the display. Doing so may damage or deform the cabinet.

• If a problem should occur, have the set inspected at your store of purchase.

• Do not insert objects or poke in the space between the operation panel and the main unit when the panel is tilted.

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

• In extremely cold weather, the display movement may slow down and the display may darken, but this is not a malfunction. The display will work normally when the temperature increases.

• Small black and shiny spots inside the liquid crystal panel are normal for LCD products.

• The touchkeys on the display operate when slightly touched. Do not press the touchkey screen with much force.

• Do not push the case surrounding the touchkey panel with much force. This may cause malfunctioning of the touchkeys.

Cleaning

• Cleaning the cabinet

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 cabinet or cause the paint to peel. Also, leaving rubber or plastic products in contact with the cabinet for long periods of time may cause stains.

• Cleaning the liquid crystal panel

The liquid crystal panel tends to collect dust, so wipe it off occasionally with a soft cloth. The surface is easily scratched, so do not rub it with hard objects.
