Before use

WARNINGS:

(To prevent accidents and damage)

• DO NOT install any unit or wire any cable in
a location where;
– it may obstruct the steering wheel and

gearshift lever operations.

– it may obstruct the operation of safety

devices such as air bags.

– it may obstruct visibility.

• DO NOT operate the unit while driving.

If you need to operate the unit while

driving, be sure to look around carefully.

• The driver must not watch the monitor
while driving.

Cautions on the monitor:

• The monitor built in this unit has been
produced with high precision, but it
may have some ineffective dots. This is
inevitable and is not considered defective .

• Do not expose the monitor to direct
sunlight.

• Do not operate the touch panel using a
ball-point pen or similar tool with the sharp
tip.

Touch the buttons on the touch panel with

your finger directly (if you are wearing a
glove, take it off).

• When the temperature is very cold or very
hot...
– Chemical changes occur inside, causing

malfunction.

– Pictures may not appear clearly or

may move slowly. Pictures may not
be synchronized with the sound or
picture quality may decline in such
environments.

For safety...

• Do not raise the volume level too much,
as this will make driving dangerous by
blocking outside sounds, and may cause
hearing loss.

• 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.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROLLER

Overview

For DDX4048BT/DDX3048 :

This unit can be operated using the Remote Controller (RC-DV340) supplied with this unit.

For DDX418/DDX318 :

Optional Remote Controller KNA-RCDV331 is designed for controlling this unit. Refer to the
instruction manual that comes with the remote controller.

CAUTION

• Put the Remote Controller in a place where
it will not move during braking or other
operations. A dangerous situation could
result, if the Remote Controller falls down
and gets wedged under the pedals while
driving.

• Do not leave the battery near fire or
under direct sunlight. A fire, explosion or
excessive heat generation may result.

• Do not recharge, short, break up or heat
the battery or place it in an open fire. Such
actions may cause the battery to leak fluid.
If spilled fluid comes in contact with your
eyes or on clothing, immediately rinse with
water and consult a physician.

• Place the battery out of reach of children. In
the unlikely event that a child swallows the
battery, immediately consult a physician.

Battery installation

Use two “AAA”/”R03”-size batteries.
Insert the batteries with the + and – poles
aligned properly, following the illustration
inside the case.

• If the Remote Controller operates only
over shorter distances or does not operate
at all, it is possible that the batteries are
depleted. In such instances, replace the
both batteries with new ones.

Remote Controller mode switch

The functions operated from the remote
controller differ depending on the position of
the mode switch.

AUD mode: Switch to this mode when
controlling a selected source or tuner source,
etc.
DVD mode: Switch to this mode when
playing DVDs or CDs etc. with the player
integrated in this unit.
TV mode: Not used.

• The position of the remote control mode
switch is indicated in the title of each
mode, e.g., “(AUD mode)”.

• When controlling a player that is not
integrated in the unit, select “AUD” mode.
