2. PRECAUTIONS
Owner’s manual
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.
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 (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 the optional TV
tuner is connected)
When receiving the TV broadcast, 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.
* If the reception is poor, switch to a station with
good reception.
WARNING
INFORMATION FOR USERS:.
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS
PRODUCT NOT APPROVED BY THE
MANUFACTURER WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY.

8. CAUTIONS ON HANDLING
Liquid crystal panel/Generalities
Owner’s manual
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.
Cleaning
• 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, 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.
• Do not place anything on the display when the
panel is tilted.
• The remote control 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 touchkeys on the display operate when
slightly touched. Do not press the touchkey
screen with much force.
• Do not push the case surrounding the touchkey
panel with much force. This may cause
malfunctioning of the touchkeys.

VRX766VD
Handling Discs
English
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.
Ball-point pen
Roughness
• 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.
• Do not use discs that have large scratches, are
misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of such discs
may cause misoperation or damage.
• To remove a disc from its storage case, press
down on the center of the case and lift the disc
out, holding it carefully by the edges.
• Do not use commercially available disc
protection sheets or discs equipped with
stabilizers, 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 fingermarks and dust, use a soft
cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center
of the disc to the circumference.
• Do not use any solvents, such as commercially
available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner
to clean discs.
• After using special disc cleaner, let the disc dry
off well before playing it.
On Discs
• Exercise a good precaution when loading a
disc with the panel open.
• Never turn off the power and remove the unit
from the car with a disc loaded.
Caution
CAUTION
With the screen open, a driver may not be
able to see the disc insertion slot. For your
safety, insert a disc with the screen closed.
Even when the screen is closed, however, the
recessed disc slot may be difficult for a driver
to see, care is needed whenever inserting
discs.
