CAUTION on Volume Setting

Discs produce very little noise compared with other sources. If the volume level is adjusted for the tuner, for
example, the speakers may be damaged by the sudden increase in the output level. Therefore, lower the volume
before playing a disc and adjust it as required during playback.

BEFORE USE

* For safety....

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

* 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.

• Stop the car before performing any complicated
operations.

Examples:

Disc structure – DVD, Video CD (VCD) and Audio CD (CD)

A DVD disc consists of Titles, and each title may be divided into some Chapters. (See Example 1.)
For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and it
may be further divided into some chapters.

On the other hand, a VCD or CD consists of Tracks. (See Example 2.)
In general, each song has its own track number. (On some discs, each track may also be divided by
Indexes.)
When playing back a VCD with Playback Control (PBC) function, you can select what to view using the
menu shown on the monitor. (While operating a Video CD using the menu, some of the functions such
as Repeat and Track Search may not work.)
