REMOTE CONTROL

To install the external remote sensor, simply plug

it into the REMOTE IN socket located at the rear

of the DVD and route the sensor cable to the

front of the vehicle, mount the sensor in a con-

venient location so that the remote control is in

the line of sight of the external remote sensor.

■

Before installing the unit, connect the wiring temporarily and test the system for proper operation.

■

Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions. Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other modifications of the vehicle.

■

Install the unit where it does not get in the driver's way and cannot injure the passenger if there is a sudden or emergency stop. For optimum performance, this unit should NOT be mounted at an angle of more than 5 degrees from horizontal.

■

Avoid installing the unit where it would be subject to high temperature, such as direct sunlight, hot air from the heater, or where it would be subject to dust, dirt, or excessive vibration.

NOTE: Do not mount the unit where it will be stepped on

or where items will be placed on top of or spilled into the unit.

MOUNTING THE UNIT

This unit can be mounted either under a cabinet

or under a seat by using the brackets supplied in

the kit. Attach the mounting brackets as shown

in the drawing below according to the final

mounting position of the player.

If mounting the player under a seat, attach the

brackets using the bottom holes. This will allow

the player sufficient ventilation for proper oper-

ation and avoid moisture collection that may

cause moisture collection.

Always mount the player to a solid location to

avoid possible vibration and shock.
