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.
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
WARNING
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.
INFORMATION FOR USERS:
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS
PRODUCT NOT APPROVED BY THE
MANUFACTURER WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY AND WILL VIOLATE FCC
APPROVAL.

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 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 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
