Caution on volume setting:

Discs produce very little noise compared with other
sources. Lower the volume before playing a disc
to avoid damaging the speakers by the sudden
increase of the output level.

For safety...

• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will
block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.

• Stop the car before performing any complicated
operations.

Temperature inside the car...

If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold
weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes
normal before operating the unit.
