WELCOME

Your in-VEHICLE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM is designed to give you and your family years of enjoyment. You can watch your

favorite DVD-Video or Video-CD movies, you can listen to your favorite Audio-CD or MP3 albums, or plug-and-play a variety of

standard video games. Please review these Operating Instructions to become familiar with the entertainment system's features

and operation. Pay particular attention to the safety precautions for use of a video player in a vehicle. For additional information

about your in-VEHICLE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM please contact your dealer.

PRECAUTIONS

This video display is intended for rear seat passenger viewing only. Installation within the driver's view is illegal in most states, provinces, and countries, and may lead to driver distraction.

Do not insert foreign objects into the DVD Player disc slot.

WARNING! The front glass on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) may break when hit with a hard surface. If the glass breaks, do not touch the liquid crystalline material. In case of contact with skin, wash immediately with soap and water.

CAUTION: Do not expose the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to direct sunlight or intense ultraviolet rays for extensive time periods. Ultraviolet rays deteriorate the liquid crystal.

Please be sure to review the owner's manuals, consumer information, and precaution booklets for all video games and video equipment that you use as auxiliary inputs for your in-VEHICLE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM.

Do not operate video games and video equipment if the power cords or cables are broken, split, or damaged.

Avoid touching auxiliary input jacks with your fingers. Do not blow on them or allow them to get wet or dirty.

Do not clean any part of the unit with benzene, paint thinner, or any other solvent.

GENERAL OPERATION NOTE

Your DVD Player supports many different types of media (CD-DA, DVD-Video, Video-CD, etc.). You will notice some slight differences in operation between these types of media. THIS IS NORMAL. These differences occur because of the flexibility of these types of media. At times you will have to read the instructions that appear on the video display screen when you insert a disc to determine what to do. It is normal that not all buttons on the Remote Control will function for all types of media. Also some buttons will work with one DVD-Video disc, but may work differently, or not at all, with a different DVD-Video disc. For example, you may notice that you cannot use the number keys to select chapter on a DVD-Video, although you can use them to select a track on an Audio disc. You may also notice that the TITLE button may function for some DVD-Video discs, but will either function differently or not at all on other DVD-Video discs.

The DVD player is also programmed to shut off when ever the vehicle is turned off. To resume playing a disc, simply push POWER on the DVD player or PWR on the remote control.
