Maintenance
Cleaning of the monitor
If the monitor does become dirty, wipe it using the
supplied cleaning cloth.
Caution:
Do not use any solvent (for example, thinner,
benzine, etc.), detergent, or insecticide. This may
damage the monitor or the unit.
How to clean the connector
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors.
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe the
connectors with a cotton swab or cloth moistened with
alcohol, being careful not to damage the connectors.
Connectors
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in
the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this
case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a
few hours until the moisture evaporates.
How to handle discs
When removing a disc from
its case, press down the center
holder of the case and lift the
disc out, holding it by the
edges.
• Always hold the disc by the
edges. Do not touch its recording surface.
When storing a disc into its case, gently insert the
disc around the center holder (with the printed surface
facing up).
• Make sure to store discs into the cases after use.
To keep discs clean
A dirty disc may not play correctly.
If a disc does become dirty, wipe it
with a soft cloth in a straight line
from center to edge.
• Do not use any solvent (for
example, conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.
To play new discs
New discs may have some rough
spots around the inner and outer
edges. If such a disc is used, this
unit may reject the disc.
To remove these rough spots, rub
the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.
