4. CAUTIONS ON HANDLING
Operation Panel
For a longer service life, be sure to read the following cautions.
• The operation 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.
• Subjecting the operation panel to shocks
may result in breakage, deformation or other
damage.
• Do not let cigarettes burn the display.
• 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 operation panel and the main
unit 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.
USB Port
• The USB memory stick may stick out when
inserted, so it may cause danger during
driving. In such cases, you can use a
commercial USB extension cable, etc., but
use it safely under your own judgement.
• The USB memory sticks must be recognized
as “USB mass storage class” to work
properly. Some models may not operate
correctly.
When the memorized data is lost or
damaged by any chance, Clarion shall not
be liable for any damage.
When using an USB memory stick, we
recommend that you backup your data stored
on it before by using a personal computer
etc.
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.
• Data files may be broken when using USB
memory sticks in the following situation:
When disconnecting the USB memory stick
or turning the power off during writing or
reading data.
When affected by static electricity or electric
noise.
Connect/disconnect the USB memory stick
when it is not accessed.
• Some USB memory sticks cannot be inserted
to the main unit because of their shape. In
such cases, use a commercial USB extension
cable to connect them.
• Connecting with the computer is not covered.
• Music files (MP3, WMA, etc.) stored in the
USB memory stick can be played back.
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.

VX401E/VZ401E
Handling Discs
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
missoperation 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, antistatic 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. The operation panel will
close automatically when leaving it open
for a while.
• Never turn off the power and remove the
unit from the car with a disc loaded.
CAUTION
For your safety, the driver should
not insert or eject a disc, opening
the operation panel while driving.
