8. CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

Liquid crystal panel/Generalities

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

• Be sure to house 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 allow any liquids on the set from drinks,

umbrellas etc. Doing so may damage the

internal circuitry.

• 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 breakage,

deformation or other damage.

• Do not let cigarettes burn the display. Doing so

may damage or deform the cabinet.

• 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 place anything on the display when the

panel is tilted.

• The remote control unit may not work if the

remote control sensor is exposed to direct

sunlight.

• 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.

• 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.

• The touchkeys on the display operate when

slightly touched. Do not press the touchkey

screen with much force.

• Do not push the case surrounding the touchkey

panel with much force. This may cause

malfunctioning of the touchkeys.

Cleaning

• Cleaning the cabinet

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.

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.

• Cleaning the liquid crystal panel

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.

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.

• Do not expose discs to excess humidity or

dust.

• Do not expose discs to direct heat from

heaters.

Ball-point pen

Cleaning

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.

• 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.

• Do not use discs that have large scratches, are

misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of such discs

may cause misoperation or damage.

• 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

protection sheets or discs equipped with

stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc or

cause breakdown of the internal mechanism.

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.

CAUTION

With the screen open, a driver may not be

able to see the disc insertion slot. For your

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. The folder name and file name can be

displayed as the title during MP3/WMA play

but the title must be within 31 single byte

alphabetical letters and numerals for the

folder name and file name (including an

extension). Entering more letters or numerals

than specified may cause an incorrect

display.

What is MP3/WMA?

MP3 is an audio compression method and

classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.

WMA is an audio compression method

developed by Microsoft Corporation.

These audio compression methods have

penetrated into PC users and become a standard

format.

●Folder structure

1. A disc with a folder having more than 8

hierarchical levels will conflict with the

ISO9660 and playback will be impossible.

These features compress the original audio data

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.

●Number of files or folders

1. The maximum allowable number of folders is

255 (including root directory); the maximum

allowable number of files is 512 (max. 255 per

folder). This represents the maximum number

of tracks that can be played back.

Note:

• Some CDs recorded on CD-R/RW mode may not

be usable.

2. Tracks are played in the order that they were

recorded onto a disc. (Tracks might not

always be played in the order displayed on the

PC.)

Displaying MP3/WMA TAG titles

Tag information such as title, artist and album

title can be displayed for an MP3/WMA file

containing Tag information.

• Some noise may occur depending on the

type of encoder software used while

recording.

• In case of a track recorded at VBR (variable

bit rate), the display for the play time of the

track may be slightly different from the

actual play time. Also, the recommended

value of VBR ranges from 32 kbps to 320

kbps.

• 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 “ERROR 3” display.

• After disc selection, the play mode is

automatically engaged.

Precautions when creating an MP3

disc

●File extensions

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

to an MP3 file, and “.WMA” or “.wma” to a

WMA file by using single byte letters. If you

add a file extension other than specified or

forget to add these file extension, the file

cannot be played. In addition, if you use upper

case and lower case letters (capital and small

letters) mixedly for file extensions, normal

play may not be possible.

Note:

2. Files other than MP3/WMA data cannot be

played.

• If Tag information was entered with 2-byte

characters, it may occur that the characters are not

reproduced properly on the display.

• MP3/WMA files that the DRM (Digital Rights

Management) function is set cannot be played.

Playing files with a format not supported will

be skipped, and the scan, random and repeat

playback mode may be canceled.
