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 switchingonthe
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.

2.

Driving on extremely bumpy roads which
cause severe vibration may 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 signalsarestrongly 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.

'Co

If the receptionispoor, switch to a station
with good reception.

5.

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.
