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 for m on the disc (CD/
MD) or the optical parts of the player and
proper playback may not be possible. If mois­ture forms on the disc (CD/MD), wipe it off
with a soft cloth. If moisture forms on the op­tical parts of the player, do not use the pla yer
for about one hour. The condensation will dis­appear naturally allowing normal operation.

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 reception
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.

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

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

good reception.

7. CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

LCD panel/Generalities

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

•

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 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 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

• Do not insert 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 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 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 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 , lea ving rubber
or plastic products in contact with the cabinet
for long periods of time may cause stains.

• 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.

Bad receiving condition

Presence of jamming

A radio wave may not reach sufficiently due to
obstruction of mountains or buildings. Check it again
at a place where a radio wave can be received
properly.

It may be under the influence of radio wave reflected
by mountains or buildings. Check it again after
changing place or direction.

It may be under the influence from automobiles,
streetcar, power cable, neon sign, and so forth.
Check it again after changing place.

This is not a failure, but a phenomenon peculiar to a
liquid crystal panel (The LCD panel is produced
according to technology with very high precision.
Note that, though there are effective pixels of 99.99%
or more, pixel missing or normally lit pixels account
for 0.01%).
