Introduction

Before using the main unit

• Be very careful and pay full attention to safety when operating the audio controls while driving, otherwise accidents may occur. Also be sure to set volume so that you can still adequately hear sounds outside the vehicle. Improper use can contribute to a traffic accident.

• Never continue to use the system if it is malfunctioning in any way. If smoke, abnormal noises or abnormal odors are noticed, turn off the power immediately.

Immediately turn off audio in such situations.

• Exercise caution as to the temperature inside the vehicle. The temperature inside the vehicle can increase during hot weather. Wait for the temperature inside the vehicle to drop before using the unit.

Damage could result.

• Do not disassemble or modify the main unit.

The main unit has a precisely designed structure, so consult your retailer in the event of any unsatisfactory performance.

18

Introduction

•Do not apply excessive force to the monitor. Damage could result.

•Do not place items such as cups or cans on top of the monitor, and do not leave the monitor tilted down when not in use.

Damage could result.

•Do not insert any objects other than discs into the disc slot.

Damage could result.

Introduction

Before using the main unit

About discs

•Water droplets can form on the inside of the main unit during cold or rainy weather in the same way car windows can fog up (This is condensation). When

this happens, the audio can jump and playback can stop, so ventilate or dehumidify the vehicle for a short time before operating the equipment.

•To safeguard the components of the player, the unit will automatically stop when a malfunction occurs. If the player will not operate even when messages displayed on the screen are followed, consult with your equipment retailer, because it is possible that the unit has been damaged.

•It is possible that the sound will skip if the vehicle experiences violent motion on rough roads.

•Please do not use a commercially available lens cleaner because it may cause damage to the pickup of the player.

About playable discs

•An audio disc or DVD video disc bearing one of the marks below can be played. When using DVD-R/RW (DVD-Recordable/ReWritable) and DVD+R/RW (DVD+Recordable/ReWritable) discs, note that only those whose contents were recorded in the video mode can be played. Discs whose contents were recorded in the video recording (VR) mode and audio mode cannot be played.

TEXT

•Discs that are compatible with Dolby Digital and bear the indication below can be used.

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories, Inc. "Dolby" and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

•It is possible that a CD-R (CD-Recordable) or CD-RW (CD-ReWritable) disc will not play on the main unit due to the circumstances of the recording, special disc characteristics, scratches, dirt or deterioration caused by long storage in the vehicle. In addition, a CD-R or CD-RW disc written with CD-R, CD-RW or UDF format that has not been finalized will not play on the main unit.

•It is possible that a DVD-R/RW (DVD-Recordable/ReWritable) or DVD+R/RW (DVD+Recordable/ReWritable) disc will not play on the main unit due to the circumstances of the recording, special disc characteristics, scratches, dirt or deterioration caused by long storage in the vehicle. DVD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW discs that have not been finalized will not play on the main unit. It may not be possible to play a disc that has been recorded on a personal computer, depending on the application setting and the environment.

•The CD-TEXT function can be used only with the original CD-TEXT-compatible compact discs. If it is used with CD-R or CD-RW discs, characters may not be displayed normally.

•Do not use discs with transparent or semi-transparent portions within the recording area, or see through discs, since they may not be accepted and ejected properly and may not play properly.

20

About handling discs

Rough Edges

Ballpoint pen

•Be sure to store discs in their cases and keep them out of direct sunlight. Discs can warp and become unusable.

•Do not apply paper-based tape to either the recording side or label side of a disc. Damage could result.

•Do not use discs on which there are cracks or large warps. Damage could result.

•Do not touch the recorded side of a disc when handling it. (This is the side with the rainbow-colored reflection.) The disc may become dirty and that could cause the sound to skip.

•Using a disc that has become dirty can scratch the disc and cause the sound to skip. Use a commercially available compact disc cleaner to clean a CD, wiping lightly from the center to the edge.

About new discs

•You may notice that some brand new discs are rough around the center hole or outside edge. Remove the rough edges with the side of a ballpoint pen, etc and clean any flakes off the disc. Flakes from the rough edges may stick to the recorded surface and interfere with playback.

Introduction

Before using the main unit

About rental discs

Cellophane tape

Recorded surface

•Do not use CD discs with attached cellophane tape, rental CD discs with glue protruding from labels or discs with the residue of peeled adhesives. Using discs with those conditions can prevent the player from properly opening and closing as well as cause other damage.

	About specially shaped discs
	• Specially-shaped or octagonal CDs, like heart-shaped
	cannot be played. Do not attempt to play them, even with
	an adapter, since they may damage the player.
	About disc accessories
	• Do not use accessories (stabilizers, protective seals,
	laser lens cleaners, etc.) sold for "improving sound
	performance" or "protecting CDs." The changes in CD
	thickness or outside dimensions made by these
	accessories may cause problems in the player.
CD ring	• Please be sure NOT to attach any ring-shape protector (or
	other accessory) to your discs. Those protectors are

commercially available and said to protect discs and to improve sound quality (and antivibration effect), but they can do more harm than good in regular uses. The most common problems are Insert/Eject related problems and "No playback" problems due to the protector ring that may have come off in the disc mechanism.

22

About TV

•When connection with the battery is cut due to changing it, changing fuses, etc.,all preset channels will be erased.

•It may be difficult for the TV to maintain optimal reception due to variation in signal strength or interference from other objects. The main causes of interference are listed below.

•Visual or audio static may result when in close proximity to overhead train wires, high-tension wires, traffic signals, neon signs, etc.

·Depending on the signal, buildings and mountains may adversely affect reception.

·Visual or audio static may result when in close proximity to radio broadcasting or ham radio antennas.

·Signal reception will become extremely weak when driving through a tunnel.

·Signal reception will become weak when traveling at a great distance from the broadcasting station.

·In some areas, visual or audio static may result when in close proximity to TV or radio towers. This is due to the influence of electro-magnetic waves outside of the reception range.

About the LCD panel

•The LCD panel can appear to be white or black when seen from certain angles.

•The screen will be difficult to read when external light such as sunlight falls on the display.
