2.PRECAUTIONS
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 f orm on the disc (CD/MD)
or the optical parts of the player and proper
playback may not be possible . If moisture f orms
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 player for about one hour .
The condensation will disappear naturally allowing normal operation.
2. Driving on extremely bump y 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 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. How-
ever , 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.
INFORMATION FOR USERS:.
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS
PRODUCT NOT APPROVED BY THE MANUFA CTURER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND

at your store of purchase.
• Do not insert objects or poke in the space be-
tween 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 displa y movement
