Precautions
• Use this system only if properly installed by a qualified installer.
• If the units show signs of overheating or malfunction, power off
the unit and consult your dealer immediately. Do not open the unit there are no serviceable parts inside.
• Do not press on the display surface; this can damage it.
• Clean the LCD panel with a slightly damp, soft cloth using
household glass cleaner. Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, or commercially available cleaners.
• If your car was parked in a very cold or very hot place, the
picture may not be clear, or you may see a temperature warning
on the screen instead of a picture. The system is not dam-
aged. The picture will return and become clear after the system
temperature returns to normal.
• When using portable radios and telephones near the system,
picture or sound interference may occur.
Notes:
The system’s operating voltage range is 11-16VDC operat-
ing voltage. The system operating temperature is 0o to 60
Celsius (32O to 140O Fahrenheit). Use of the system beyond
the safe operating ranges listed can cause temporary or
permanent damage to the unit, and such damage may not
covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
When using optional wired headphones, use headphones
with a volume control, such as the Rosen AC3004. The
system has no volume adjustment - use the volume control
on the wireless headphones or on the vehicle radio.

The following disc types are incompatible:
· DVD-ROM
· DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD-RAM
· Photo CD
· CD-ROM
· CD-Audio manufactured with certain copy protection methods
· Any DVD with a different Region number than the unit.

DVD Operations that differ from disc to disc
When a DVD disc is created, the creator has to define how the disc
will operate when it’s loaded into a DVD player. For instance, some
discs begin playing immediately, while other discs only display a menu
and require a menu selection to be made before playback will start.
The DVD standard also allows the maker of a DVD disc to disable
certain functions at certain times, such as Fast-forward and Stop
(which is why you can’t skip past the copyright warning screen). If
some feature cannot be used, usually the disc is temporarily
preventing the player from executing the operation.
Discs which do not properly load
Some homemade discs which do not have all the data needed to
properly initialize all DVD players may not load properly, and may
create a state where the DVD player will not eject the disc at all. In
these cases, you must have your Rosen authoriozed dealer reset
the system.
