To ensure safe vehicle operation, do not operate this product during driving. If you try to view pictures from a TV-tuner and, DVD-Video disc or other sources etc. on the front display while the parking brake is not engaged, this warning will appear:
Precautions
CAUTION: USE OF CONTROL OR ADJUSTMENT OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
CAUTION: THE USE OF OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS WITH THIS PRODUCT WILL INCREASE EYE HAZARD.
•Keep this manual handy as a reference for operating procedures and precautions.

•Protect this product from moisture.
•If the battery is disconnected or discharged, the preset memory will be erased and must be reprogrammed.

To avoid battery exhaustion
Always run the the vehicle engine while using this unit. Using this unit without running the engine can result in battery drainage.
To protect the LCD screen of the display
•Do not allow direct sunlight to fall on the Display when this unit is not being used. Extended exposure to direct sunlight can result in LCD screen malfunction due to the resulting high temperatures.
•When using a portable phone, keep the antenna of the portable phone away from the Display to prevent disruption of the video by the appearance of spots, colored stripes, etc.
When viewing is difficult, use BRIGHT and DIMMER to adjust
Due to its construction, the view angle of the LCD screen is limited. The viewing angle (vertical and horizontal) can be increased, however, by using BRIGHT to adjust the black density of the video. When using for the first time, adjust the black density in accordance with the viewing angle (vertical and horizontal) to adjust for clear viewing.
DIMMER can also be used to adjust the brightness of the LCD screen itself to suit your personal preference.

Changing the wide mode
You can select a desired mode for enlarging a 4:3 picture to a 16:9 one.
1 When viewing an image, press WIDE.
Wide mode in the following order:
Full (FULL) — Just (JUST) — Cinema (CINEMA)
— Zoom (ZOOM) — Normal (NORMAL)
Full (FULL)
A 4:3 picture is enlarged in the horizontal direction only, enabling you to enjoy a 4:3 TV picture (normal picture) without any omissions.
Just (JUST)
The picture is enlarged slightly at the center and the amount of enlargement increases horizontally to the ends, enabling you to enjoy a 4:3 picture without sensing any disparity even on a wide screen.
Cinema (CINEMA)
A picture is enlarged by the same proportion as FULL or ZOOM in the horizontal direction and by an intermediate proportion between FULL and ZOOM in the vertical direction; ideal for a cinema-
sized picture (wide-screen picture) where captions lie outside.
Zoom (ZOOM)
A 4:3 picture is enlarged in the same proportion both vertically and horizontally; ideal for a cinemasized picture (wide-screen picture).
Normal (NORMAL)
A 4:3 picture is displayed as it is, giving you no sense of disparity since its proportions are the same as that of the normal picture.
Notes
•Different settings can be memorized for the AV and VIDEO. In addition, different settings can also be memorized for a component (AV) connected to the AV-BUS input.
•The Wide Mode used for menu setting is switched to Full (FULL). The Wide Mode will return when the menu setting is deleted.
