Handling Discs  
2. PRECAUTIONS  
Handling  
Storage  
• New discs may have some roughness around  
the edges. If such discs are used, the player  
may not work or the sound may skip. Use a  
ball-point pen or the like to remove any  
roughness from the edge of the disc.  
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any  
heat source.  
WARNING  
•
•
Do not expose discs to excess humidity or dust.  
For your safety, the driver should not watch the TV or operate the controls while driving.  
Please note that watching and operating the TV while driving are prohibited by law in  
some countries. Also, while driving, keep the volume to a level at which external sounds  
can be heard.  
Do not expose discs to direct heat from  
heaters.  
Ball-point pen  
Cleaning  
1. When the inside of the car is very cold and  
the player is used soon after switching on the  
heater, moisture may form on the disc (DVD/  
CD) or the optical parts of the player and  
proper playback may not be possible. If  
moisture forms on the disc (DVD/CD), wipe it  
off with a soft cloth. If moisture forms on the  
optical parts of the player, do not use the  
player for about one hour. The condensation  
will disappear naturally allowing normal  
operation.  
INFORMATION FOR USERS:.  
Roughness  
• To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft  
cloth and wipe in a straight line from the  
center of the disc to the circumference.  
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS  
PRODUCT NOT APPROVED BY THE MANU-  
FACTURER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.  
• Do not use any solvents, such as  
commercially available cleaners, anti-static  
spray, or thinner to clean discs.  
• After using special disc cleaner, let the disc  
dry off well before playing it.  
• Never stick labels on the surface of the disc or  
mark the surface with a pencil or pen.  
• Never play a disc with any cellophane tape or  
other glue on it or with peeling off marks. If  
you try to play such a disc, you may not be  
able to get it back out of the DVD player or it  
may damage the DVD player.  
On Discs  
• Exercise a good precaution when loading a  
disc with the panel open.  
• Never turn off the power and remove the unit  
from the car with a disc loaded.  
2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which  
cause severe vibration may cause the sound  
to skip.  
• Do not use discs that have large scratches,  
are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of such  
discs may cause misoperation or damage.  
3. This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even  
in the event that trouble arises, never open  
the case, disassemble the unit, or lubricate  
the rotating parts.  
CAUTION  
• To remove a disc from its storage case, press  
down on the center of the case and lift the  
disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.  
With the screen open, a driver may not see the  
disc insertion slot. For your safety, insert a disc  
with the screen closed.  
• Do not use commercially available disc  
protection sheets or discs equipped with  
stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc  
or cause breakdown of the internal  
mechanism.  
Even when the screen is closed, however, the  
recessed disc slot may be difficult for a driver  
to see, care is needed whenever inserting  
discs.  
4. TV broadcast reception  
When receiving the TV broadcasts, the  
strength of the signals changes since the car  
is moving, so in some cases it may not be  
possible to receive clear pictures.  
• TV signals are strongly linear, so reception is  
affected by buildings, mountains and other  
obstacles.  
No/Non  
• Such external factors such as electric train  
lines, a high voltage lines, and signal devices  
may disturb the picture or cause noise.  
∗ If the reception is poor, switch to a station  
with good reception.

9. CAUTIONS ON HANDLING  
Liquid crystal panel/Generalities  
For a longer service life, be sure to read the following cautions.  
• Be sure to store the liquid crystal panel inside  
the main unit when parking the car outdoors  
for long period of time. The liquid crystal panel  
will operate properly in a temperature range of  
0 to 60˚C.  
• Do not place anything on the display when the  
panel is tilted.  
• The remote controller may not work if the  
remote control sensor is exposed to direct  
sunlight.  
• Don’t allow any liquids on the set from drinks,  
umbrellas etc. Doing so may damage the  
internal circuitry.  
• In extremely cold weather, the display  
movement may slow down and the display  
may darken, but this is not a malfunction. The  
display will work normally when the  
temperature increases.  
• Do not disassemble or modify the set in any  
way. Doing so may result in damage.  
• Do not draw the liquid crystal panel out and  
use it as a tray. Also, subjecting the liquid  
crystal panel to shocks may result in  
• Small black and shiny spots inside the liquid  
crystal panel are normal for LCD products.  
• The liquid crystal panel may stop temporarily  
when it opens or closes, when the engine  
stops or when it is cold.  
breakage, deformation or other damage.  
• Do not let cigarettes burn the display. Doing  
so may damage or deform the cabinet.  
• The touchkeys on the display operate when  
slightly touched. Do not press the touchkey  
screen with much force.  
• If a problem should occur, have the set  
inspected at your store of purchase.  
• Do not insert objects or poke in the space  
between the liquid crystal panel and the main  
unit when the panel is tilted.  
• Do not push the case surrounding the  
touchkey panel with much force. This may  
cause malfunctioning of the touchkeys.  
Cleaning  
• Cleaning the cabinet  
• Cleaning the liquid crystal panel  
Use a soft, dry cloth and gently wipe off the  
dirt. For tough dirt, apply some neutral  
detergent diluted in water to a soft cloth, wipe  
off the dirt gently, then wipe again with a dry  
cloth.  
The liquid crystal panel tends to collect dust,  
so wipe it off occasionally with a soft cloth.  
The surface is easily scratched, so do not rub  
it with hard objects.  
Do not use benzene, thinner, car cleaner, etc.,  
as these substances may damage the cabinet  
or cause the paint to peel. Also, leaving  
rubber or plastic products in contact with the  
cabinet for long periods of time may cause  
stains.

insulation tape for protection.  
3. If the fuse should blow, check to see if the  
wiring is correct.  
If it is, replace the fuse with a new one with  
the same amperage rating as the original  
(15A FUSE).
