WARNING
For your safety, the driver should not watch the TV or operate the controls while driving.
Please note that watching and operating the TV 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
(CD/MD/DVD) or the optical parts of the
player and proper playbac k ma y not be possible. If moisture forms on the disc (CD/MD/
DVD), 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 ma y 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 receiving the TV broadcasts, 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 recep-
tion is affected by buildings, mountains
and other obstacles.
• Such 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.
INFORMATION FOR USERS:.
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS
PRODUCT NOT APPRO VED BY THE MANUFA CTURER WILL V OID THE W ARRANTY .
On navigation
• If the NAVI mode is turned to NVG, the
FUNC button becomes invalid and the audio
modes cannot be switched.
LCD panel/Generalities
English
For a longer service life, be sure to read the following cautions.
•
Owner’s manual
Be sure to store the LCD panel inside the
main unit when parking the car outdoors for
long period of time. The LCD panel will operate properly in a temperature range of 0 to
60°C.
• Don’t allow any liquids on the set from drinks,
umbrellas etc. Doing so ma y damage the internal circuitry.
• Do not disassemble or modify the set in any
way. Doing so may result in damage.
• Do not draw the LCD panel out and use it as
a tray. Also, subjecting the LCD 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.
Cleaning
• Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft, dr y 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.
• Do not inser t objects or poke in the space
between the LCD panel and the main unit
when the panel is tilted.
• Do not place anything on the display when
the panel is tilted.
• The remote controller may not work if the remote control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight.
• In extremely cold weather, the display mov ement 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 LCD
panel are normal for LCD products.
• The LCD panel may stop temporarily when it
opens or closes, when the engine stops or
when it is cold.
• Cleaning the LCD panel
The LCD 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.
