Additional Information
Precautions
• If your car has been parked in direct sunlight,
allow the unit to cool off before operating it.
• Power antenna (aerial) will extend automatically
while the unit is operating.
Moisture condensation
On a rainy day or in a very damp area, moisture
condensation may occur inside the lenses and
display of the unit. Should this occur, the unit will
not operate properly. In such a case, remove the disc
and wait for about an hour until the moisture has
evaporated.
To maintain high sound quality
Be careful not to splash juice or other soft drinks
onto the unit or discs.
Notes on LCD panel
• Do not press on the LCD panel as doing so can
distort the picture or cause a malfunction (i.e., the
picture may become unclear, or the LCD panel
may be damaged).
• Do not touch other than with the finger, as it may
damage or break the LCD panel.
• Clean the LCD panel with a dry soft cloth. Do not
use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or antistatic
spray.
• Do not use this unit outside the temperature range
5 – 45 ºC (41 – 113 ºF).
• If your car was parked in a cold or hot place, the
picture may not be clear. However, the monitor is
not damaged, and the picture will become clear
after the temperature in your car becomes normal.
• Some stationary blue, red or green dots may
appear on the monitor. These are called "bright
spots," and can happen with any LCD. The LCD
panel is precision-manufactured with more than
99.99 % of its segments functional. However, it is
possible that a small percentage (typically 0.01 %)
of the segments may not light up properly. This
will not, however, interfere with your viewing.

Notes on discs
• To keep a disc clean, do not touch its surface.
Handle the disc by its edge.
• Keep your discs in their cases or disc magazines
when not in use.
• Do not subject discs to heat/high temperature.
Avoid leaving them in a parked car or on a
dashboard/rear tray.
• Do not attach labels, or use discs with sticky ink/
residue. Such discs may stop spinning when used,
causing a malfunction, or may ruin the disc.
• Do not use any discs with labels or stickers
attached.
The following malfunctions may result from using
such discs:
– Inability to eject a disc (due to a label or sticker
peeling off and jamming the eject mechanism).
– Inability to read audio data correctly (e.g.,
playback skipping, or no playback) due to heat
shrinking of a sticker or label causing a disc to
warp.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart,
square, star) cannot be played on this unit.
Attempting to do so may damage the unit. Do not
use such discs.
• Before playing, clean the discs
with a commercially available
cleaning cloth. Wipe each disc
from the center out. Do not use
solvents such as benzine,
thinner, commercially available
cleaners, or antistatic spray
intended for analog discs.
Note on playback operations of DVDs
and VCDs
Some playback operations of DVDs and VCDs may
be intentionally set by software producers. Since
this unit plays DVDs and VCDs according to the
disc contents the software producers designed, some
playback features may not be available. Also, refer
to the instructions supplied with the DVDs or
VCDs.
