2. PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

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.

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.

Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause severe vibration may cause the sound to skip.

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.

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 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.

Handling

- New discs may have some roughness around the edges. If such discs are used, the player
may not work or the sound may skip. Use a ball-point pen or the like to remove any
roughness from the edge of the disc.

- Never stick labels on the surface of the disc or mark the surface with a pencil or pen.

- Never play a disc with any cellophane tape or other glue on it or with peeling off marks. If
you try to play such a disc, you may not be able to get it back out of the DVD player or it
may damage the DVD player.

may cause misoperation or damage.

- To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and lift the
disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

etc. These may damage the disc or cause breakdown of the internal mechanism.

Storage

- Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any heat source.

- Do not expose discs to excess humidity or dust.

- Do not expose discs to direct heat from heaters.

Cleaning

- To remove finger-marks and dust, use a soft cloth and wipe in a straight line from the centre
of the disc to the circumference.

5. CAUTIONS

5-1 Liquid Crystal Panel/Generalities

5-2 Cleaning

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

Be sure to house the liquid crystal panel inside the main unit when parking the car outdoors for
long period of time. The liquid crystal panel will operate properly in a temperature range of 0 to
60°C.

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 draw the liquid crystal panel out and use it as a tray. Also, subjecting the liquid crystal 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 liquid crystal panel and the main unit when
the panel is tilted.

Do not place anything on the display 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 liquid crystal panel may stop temporarily when it opens or closes, when the engine stops or
when it is cold.

The touch keys on the display operate when slightly touched. Do not press the touch key screen
with much force.

Do not push the case surrounding the touch key panel with much force. This may cause
malfunctioning of the touch keys.

Cleaning the cabinet

For tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent diluted in water to a soft cloth, wipe off the dirt
gently, 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.

MP3 is the Audio compressed appliance and is classified by the Audio layer 3 MPEG of standards.
The compressed appliance is used helpfully by the PC users and also used broadly as a

This DVD Player can not play the disc recorded by the CD-RW. Some CDs can not be used

which recorded in CD-R mode.
