4. TV broadcast reception  
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 (CD/  
MD) or the optical parts of the player and  
proper playback may not be possible. If mois-  
ture forms on the disc (CD/MD), wipe it off  
with a soft cloth. If moisture forms on the op-  
tical parts of the player, do not use the player  
for about one hour.The condensation will dis-  
appear naturally allowing normal operation.  
Contents  
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.  
2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which  
cause severe vibration may cause the sound

long period of time. The LCD panel will oper-  
ate properly in a temperature range of 0 to  
60°C.  
Dont allow any liquids on the set from drinks,  
umbrellas etc. Doing so may damage the in-  
ternal circuitry.  
Do not insert objects or poke in the space be-  
tween the LCD panel and the main unit when  
the panel is tilted.

The unit will not accept any key inputs for 1  
second after the DCP has been reattached.  
Do not draw the LCD panel out and use it as  
a tray. Also, subjecting the LCD panel to  
shocks may result in breakage, deformation  
or other damage.  
Small black and shiny spots inside the LCD  
panel are normal for LCD products.  
CAUTION  
The DCP can easily be damaged by shocks.  
After removing it, be careful not to drop it  
or subject it to strong shocks.  
Do not let cigarettes burn the display. Doing  
so may damage or deform the cabinet.  
The LCD panel may stop temporarily when it  
opens or closes, when the engine stops or  
when it is cold.  
If a problem should occur, have the set in-  
spected at your store of purchase.  
3. Pull the DCP toward you and remove it.  
If the Operation Panel is kept open, the DCP  
may drop due to vibration of the car. This  
results in damage to the DCP. So close the  
Operation Panel or remove the DCP to store  
into the case.  
Cleaning  
The connector connecting the main unit and  
the DCP is an extremely important part. Be  
careful not to damage it by pressing on it  
with fingernails, screwdrivers, etc.  
• Cleaning the cabinet  
• Cleaning the LCD 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 LCD 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 ob-  
jects.  
DCP/Operation Panel  
Note:  
If the DCP is dirty, wipe off the dirt with a soft, dry  
cloth only.  
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.  
Attaching the DCP  
1. Hold the DCP/Operation Panel with its rear  
side facing the main unit and, as shown in  
the figure below, put the lower edge of the

INSTALLING THE MAIN UNIT  
Universal Mount  
1. Do not open the case. There are no user  
serviceable parts inside. If you drop anything  
into the unit during installation, consult your  
dealer or an authorized CLARION service  
centre.  
2. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the case. Never  
use a rough cloth, thinner, benzine, or alco-  
hol, etc. For tough dirt, apply a little cold or  
warm water to a soft cloth and wipe off the  
dirt gently.  
1. Place the universal mounting bracket into the  
instrument panel, use a screwdriver to bend  
each stopper of the universal mounting  
bracket inward, then secure the stopper as  
shown in Figure 6.
