2. PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

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.

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/MD) or the optical parts of the player and

proper playback may not be possible. If mois-

ture forms on the disc (DVD/CD/MD), 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 op-

eration.

cause harmful interference to radio communi-

cations. However, there is no guarantee that

interference will not occur in a particular in-

stallation. If this equipment does cause harm-

ful interference to radio or television recep-

tion, which can be determined by turning the

equipment off and on, the user is encouraged

to consult the dealer or an experienced radio/

TV technician for help.

INFORMATION FOR USERS:.

CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS

PRODUCT NOT APPROVED BY THE MANU-

FACTURER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND

WILL VIOLATE FCC APPROVAL.

2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which

cause severe vibration may cause the sound

to skip.

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.

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.

• 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.

5. This equipment has been tested and found to

comply with the limits for a Class B digital de-

vice, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reason-

able protection against harmful interference

in a residential installation. This equipment

generates, uses, and can radiate radio fre-

quency energy and, if not installed and used

in accordance with the instructions, may

Handling Discs

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 rough-

ness from the edge of the disc.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any

heat source.

•

Do not expose discs to excess humidity or dust.

Do not expose discs to direct heat from heaters.

Ball-point pen

Cleaning

• To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft

cloth and wipe in a straight line from the cen-

ter of the disc to the circumference.

Roughness

• Do not use any solvents, such as commer-

cially 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.

• Do not use discs that have large scratches,

are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of such

discs may cause misoperation or damage.

CAUTION

With the screen open, a driver may not see the

disc insertion slot. For your safety, insert a disc

with the screen closed.

• 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.

• Do not use commercially available disc protec-

tion sheets or discs equipped with stabilizers,

etc. These may damage the disc or cause

breakdown of the internal mechanism.

9. CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

LCD panel/Generalities

For a longer service life, be sure to read the following cautions.

• Be sure to store the LCD panel inside the

main unit when parking the car outdoors for

long period of time. The LCD panel will oper-

ate 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 re-

mote control sensor is exposed to direct sun-

light.

• Don’t allow any liquids on the set from drinks,

umbrellas etc. Doing so may damage the in-

ternal circuitry.

• In extremely cold weather, the display move-

ment may slow down and the display may

darken, but this is not a malfunction. The dis-

play will work normally when the temperature

increases.

• Do not disassemble or modify the set in any

DVD Video Player Operations

2. Tracks are played in the order that they were

recorded onto a disc. (Tracks might not al-

ways be played in the order displayed on the

PC.)

What is MP3?

MP3 is an audio compression method and clas-

sified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.

This audio compression method has penetrated

into PC users and become a standard format.

• Some noise may occur depending on the

type of encoder software used while re-

cording.

This MP3 features the original audio data com-

pression to about 10 percent of its initial size

with a high sound quality. This means that about

10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc

or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time

without having to change CDs.

• Files created using LAME (Lame Aint MP3

Encoder) may not be played properly.

• In case of a track recorded at VBR (vari-

able bit rate), the display for the play time

of the track may be slightly different from

the actual play time. Also, the recom-

mended value of VBR ranges from 64 kbps

to 320 kbps.

Notes:

• This DVD video player cannot play back a disc re-

corded on a CD-RW unit.

• Some CDs recorded on CD-R mode may not be

usable.

• Depending on the damage conditions of a

file, it may occur that the file is not played

and the next file is played instead. Also, if

the damage is in a severe condition, play

stops showing the “DISC ERROR” display.

Precautions when creating an MP3 disc

●File extensions

1. Always add a file extension “.MP3” or “.mp3”

to an MP3 file by using single byte letters. If

you add a file extension other than specified

or forget to add the file extension “.MP3” or

“.mp3”, the file cannot be played. In addition,

if you use upper case and lower case letters

(capital and small letters) mixedly for file ex-

tensions, normal play may not be possible.

After disc selection, the play mode is automati-

cally engaged.

Note:

If ID3 Tag information was entered with 2-byte char-

acters, it may occur that the characters are not re-

produced properly on the display.

2. Files without MP3 data will not play.

Pausing playback

1. Press the [s] button during playback.

●Logical format (File system)

Playback pauses.

1. When writing an MP3 file on a CD-R disc,

please select “ISO9660 level 1 or level 2

(without including expansion format)” as

the writing software format. Normal playback

may not be possible if the disc is recorded on

another format.

2. To resume playback,press the [s] button

again, and playback resumes.

Skipping a track (searching)

1. Press the [a] or [d] button during play-

back.

2. The folder name and filename can be dis-

played as the title during MP3 play but the

title must be within 31 and 27 single byte al-

phabetical letters and numerals for the folder

name and filename, respectively (without in-

cluding an extension). Entering more letters

or numerals than specified may cause an in-

correct display.

Tracks are skipped, as many as the times the

button is pressed, and playback starts.

• Press the [d] button, and playback starts

from the beginning of the next track.

• Press the [a] button, and playback starts

from the beginning of the current track.

When this button is pressed again within

about 2 seconds, playback starts from the

beginning of the previous track.

●Folder structure

1. A disc with a folder having more than 8 hier-

archical levels will conflict with the ISO9660

and playback will be impossible.

This operation skips the track over the folder.

●Number of files or folders

1. A total of 255 files and folders are allowed.

(However, the maximum number of folders

must be within 254.) When the number of files

and folders is more than 256, playback of

tracks in excess of that number is impossible.
