• 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.
• Keep discs away from direct sunlight and heat, such as dashboards and vehicle
heaters; and from dirty, dusty and damp areas, such as vehicle seats.
• Store discs in a protective disc case.

Operating
• Do not operate this product in ways other than those described in this manual. Failure to follow instructions may void the warranty.
• Do not make selections through the front panel or the remote while operating the
4 VB475
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.

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
warranty, and suffer electric shock. All warranty service should be performed by an authorized Clarion service center.
