• To keep a disc clean, do not touch the play side (non-label side).
• Do not scratch or bend discs.
• Do not attach sticky notes to or put tape on a disc.
• Do not attempt to play back a deformed disc.

g
vehicle. You may cause an accident. Find a place to pull over and stop before you confi gure the player.
• Keep the volume lower than you might if listening at home to ensure safe driving.
• Do not use the player with the ignition off, which could drain the vehicle’s battery.
• Parking in direct sunlight for several hours raises the temperature in the vehicle.
If the internal temperature is extremely high (over 50 degrees Celsius), start the vehicle and let the interior cool down before you use the player.
• Before leaving the vehicle, eject the DVD disc and store it separately, away from
direct sunlight. Heat and humidity can damage DVD discs causing them not to play.
• Do not operate the player using a voltage higher than DC 12V.
General
• Do not pour liquid into the player or poke foreign objects, such as coins, into the
DVD drive slot. Water, humidity, and foreign objects may damage internal circuitry.
• Do not place screwdrivers or other metal objects near the player or disc.
• If the player becomes wet, turn off all power and ask your authorized Clarion Dealer
to clean or service the unit.
• Do not drop the player. You may cause permanent damage.
• If the vehicle’s battery dies or you disconnect the player from battery power, the
contents of the player’s memory will be lost and all options will return to their factory defaults.
• The player uses a Class 1 Laser and will emit a visible or invisible hazardous laser
beam. Avoid looking directly at this beam.

Installation
Installation of mobile audio and video components requires experience with a variety of mechanical and electrical procedures. Although this manual provides general installation and operation instructions, it does not show the exact installation methods for your particular vehicle.
If you do not have the required knowledge, experience, and/or tools to successfully complete the installation, consult an authorized Clarion Dealer about professional
installation options.
• Video playback requires the installation of a separate monitor, such as Clarion’s
OHM series monitors. The monitor must support both NTSC and PAL TV standards.
• Do not install a video monitor where the driver can be distracted by it. Such
placement may cause a traffi c accident and violate local regulations.
• The vehicle must have a 12V battery with negative grounding. Before installing it in
a recreational vehicle, truck or bus, check the battery voltage.
• For optimal performance and operation, mount the player horizontally. Avoid
mounting the player in a tilted position in excess of 15 degrees.
VB475 5

Maintenance
• When washing the vehicle, keep the player dry, including the speaker and any discs.
• Do not disassemble or modify this player. You may damage the player, void the

About DVDs
The contents of a DVD are organized into titles and chapters. A single work, such as a movie, corresponds to a single title. Each scene corresponds to a chapter.
Chapter structure on a DVD
On karaoke discs, each song corresponds to a title.
Some discs are organized differently. How you access the titles depends on how the disc was recorded:
Playing back some DVD-video discs may not be possible for a variety of reasons.
• With DVD-R discs, only recordings made in the video format (video mode) can be played back.
• With DVD-RW discs, recordings made in the Video Recording format (VR mode) cannot be played back.
• Even when DVD-R and DVD-RW recordings have been made using a playable format (video mode), playback may not be possible due to disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on the disc.
• Dirt and condensation on the lens inside the player may prevent playback.
• Although you may playback discs recorded using the correct format on a PC, the
recording software, environmental settings and other factors may inhibit playback.
With some DVD discs, you may not be able to use all player functions. For example, discs that feature Playback Control (PBC) provide a playback menu and do not allow the use the number buttons on the remote to directly enter chapter and track numbers.
About video CDs, VCDs and MP3 fi les
Video CDs and VCDs discs are organized into tracks with each track corresponding to one song. Some discs also feature an index to the tracks.
16 VB475
g
Track structure on a music CD or video CD
Read the precautions with all CD-R and CD-RW discs before you use them. In addition:
• CD-Extra discs can be played back as music CDs.
• Playback of CD-R and CD-RW discs, other than those recorded with a music CD
recorder, may not be possible.
• Even those CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded using a music CD recorder may not
play back due to disc characteristics or dirt on the disc.
• As with DVDs, dirt and condensation on the lens inside the player may prevent
playback.
• Titles and other text information recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW disc cannot be
displayed on the player.
• With CD-RW discs, the time to play back will be longer than the time required to
play back a conventional CD or CD-R disc.

8. INSTALLATION AND WIRING
lish
En
Installation of mobile audio and video components requires experience with a variety of mechanical and electrical procedures. Although this manual provides general installation and operation instructions, it does not show the exact installation methods for your particular vehicle.
If you do not have the required knowledge, experience, and/or tools to successfully complete the installation, consult an authorized Clarion Dealer about professional installation options.
Precautions
• Carefully read the procedure and the installation specifi cations before installing
the player. Connect all components according to the diagrams provided. Incorrect connection may damage the player.
• If installation requires you to drill holes or make other modifi cations to the vehicle,
consult an authorized Clarion Dealer for help.
• Install the player where it will not get in the way of the driver or injure a passenger in
the event of an emergency stop.
• Overheating will damage the semiconductor laser (used to play back discs). Do not
install the player near a heat source, such as a heater outlet.
• Make all connections before you connect the player to the power supply.
• Insulate any exposed cables to prevent them from causing a short circuit with the
vehicle bracket.
• Pack all cables to avoid power supply terminals touching other metal vehicle parts.
• Before making the fi nal installation, temporarily connect the wiring, turn the power
on, make sure the player works correctly and that nothing else in the vehicle has ceased to work.
Requirements
• The player requires a 12V negative (-) grounded voltage power supply.
• Use only the parts included with the player. Using unauthorized parts can cause the
system to malfunction.

Installing the player
If the vehicle has a two-inch high slot in the dashboard for a DVD player, you may directly install the player in the dashboard.
1. To avoid shorts in the electrical system, disconnect the vehicle’s battery.
2. Connect the mounting bolt on the back of the player using a crescent wrench.
3. Check all the electrical connections based on the wiring diagram.
4. Insert the power connector into the player’s power receptacle on the back of the player.

7. Use the screw (B15x16) to attach the other side of the assembly bar to the vehicle body.
8. Attach the trim ring to the front of the player.
Cable connections
• Refer to the owner’s manual for the power amplifi er and for other units before you make connections.
• Secure wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape around the wires where they lie against metal vehicle parts.
• Route and secure all wiring so that it cannot touch any moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake and seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insulation of the wiring melts or gets torn, it could short circuit to the vehicle body.
• Don’t pass the yellow lead through a hole with a grommet into the engine compartment to connect to the battery. This will damage the lead insulation and cause a very dangerous short.
• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit may fail to work when it should.
• Never feed power to other equipment by cutting the insulation of the player’s power supply lead to tap into the lead. The current capacity of the lead will be exceeded causing overheating.
• When replacing the fuse, use only a fuse with the same rating (10A).

Connecting the speakers
• Speakers connected to this player must be high-power types with a minimum rating of 30W and an impedance of 4 to 8 Ohms. Connecting speakers with output and /or impedance values other than these may damage the speakers, cause them to smoke or even catch fi re.
• To avoid short-circuits, cover disconnected leads with insulating tape. Especially insulate the unused speaker leads.
Connect the speakers using the following color code:
Speaker Left + Left - Right + Right -
Front White White/black Gray Gray/black
Rear Green Green/black Violet Violet/black
Precautions
• Use groundless speakers only.
• The input power of the speakers you use must be over 40W.
Your speakers must be able to support the full power of the amplifi er, if not, the speakers and/or the player may be damaged.
• Speaker impedance is 4W. Speakers with greater than or less than 4W impedance may not be able to handle the output power from the amplifi er, which may result in damage to the speakers or the player.
32 VB475
g
• Do not use a three-cable speaker system and do not connect the speakers to the
vehicle’s body. The player uses BTL circuitry, which requires that each speaker be connected using insulated cables.
• Install the speaker cables and power amplifi ers approximately 12 inches (30cm)
away from the antenna and any antenna extended parts.
