8.CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

LCD panel/Generalities

Owner’s manual

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 in-

spected 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.

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 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

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.
