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 form on the disc (DVD/
CD/MD) or the optical parts of the player and
proper playback may not be possible. If moisture forms on the disc (DVD/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 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 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.
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.
INFORMATION FOR USERS:.
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS
PRODUCT NOT APPROVED BY THE MANUFA CTURER WILL V OID THE W ARRANTY AND
WILL VIOLATE FCC APPROVAL.
