Notes on Use

When Listening with IR Wireless

Headphones

≥ Even if your headphones are the open-air type

designed to let you hear outside sounds, do not

turn up the volume so high that you can not hear

what is around you.

≥ Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing

comfort level adapts to higher volumes of sound.

So what sounds normal can actually be loud and

harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by

setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE

your hearing adapts.

Liquid Crystal Panel

Protect Disc and SD memory Card

≥ When you leave the car, be sure to eject the

disc/SD memory card from this unit and bring it

out.

Exemption from Liability

≥ Storage temperature range: `4 °F to 176 °F

(`20 °C to 80 °C)

≥ The manufacturer will not be liable in any way for

any incidental damages (such as loss of business

income or changes or loss of memory data)

which may result from the use of or failure to use

this product.

When the liquid crystal panel reaches high

temperatures or low temperatures, chemical

changes occur within the liquid crystal panel

which may cause malfunctions.

≥ Do not strongly impact the liquid crystal panel.

≥ When the temperature is very cold or very hot,

the image may not appear clearly or may move

slowly. Also, movement of the image may seem

to be out of synchronization or the image quality

may decline in such environments. Note that this

is not a malfunction or problem.

When not Using the Product

≥ Lock the monitor in the fully closed position.

≥ If the display unit cannot be locked, be absolutely

sure to consult your dealer and remedy the

situation.

≥ The terms and conditions of the warranty which

accompanies the product do not apply when the

product is operated in a vehicle which is used for

business purposes (such as a bus, taxi cab or

commercial vehicle).

≥ No guarantees can be made for the numerical

values which have been set in the product when

those values have been changed as a result of

misuse of the product by the user or any third

party or of the effects of static or electrical noise

or of malfunctioning or repairs.

Dimmer Sensor

≥ This unit automatically adjusts the screen

brightness in accordance with the brightness of

its surroundings. However, the dimmer sensor

may not function properly if it is exposed directly

to sunlight or other strong sources of light.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

≥ Once you have established a comfortable sound

level, set the dial and leave it there.

≥ Do not attempt to adjust the size while wearing

headphones. (You may ﬁnd that your hair is pulled

as it becomes entwined with the headphones.)

≥ There may be breaks in the sound or noise may

be heard if the headphones are used at a distance

from this unit (display) or if obstructions block

the infrared rays. These problems are caused by

characteristics which are inherent in infrared rays,

and thus are not indicative of any malfunctioning.

≥ Make sure that the infrared sensor window is not

covered by your hands or hair.

≥ Since these headphones use infrared rays for

operation, avoid using them in direct sunlight.

≥ When playing DVD video recordings and listening

to their sound through IR wireless headphones,

the sound may be heard at a low level even

after the volume of the IR wireless headphones

has been turned up. In a case like this, stop

playing the disc, and then change the DRC

(Dynamic Range Compression) setting among

the DVD video settings (page 82) to “Minimum”

or “Standard”. However, depending on a disc’

s format and content (music DVD, etc.), you

may feel that the sound is not being reproduced

properly. If this is the case, keep the DRC setting

at OFF.

Usage temperature range: 32 °F to 104 °F

(0 °C to 40 °C)

≥

There may be red spots, blue spots and green

spots on the panel surface. This is a characteristic

of liquid crystal panels and is not a problem. The

liquid crystal panel is built with very high precision

technology and has at least 99.99 % effective image

pixels. Be aware that on 0.01 % of the panel there

may be missing pixels or constantly light pixels.

Spots

≥ The manufacturer will not be liable in any way for

the loss, destruction or erasure of SD card data

which is a result of improper handling.

≥ In order to protect the liquid crystal panel, keep it

out of direct sunlight while the unit is not in use.

≥ Sudden changes in the temperature inside the car

such as those which occur immediately after the

car’s air conditioner or heater has been turned on

may cause the inside of the liquid crystal panel

to cloud over due to water vapor or it may cause

condensation (droplets of water) to form and, as

a result, the panel may not work properly. Do not

use the unit while these symptoms are in evidence

but leave the unit standing for about an hour, and

then resume or start use.

What is MP3?

≥ This unit counts the number of folders

irrespective of the presence or absence of MP3

ﬁle.

≥ If the selected folder does not contain any

MP3 ﬁles, the nearest MP3 ﬁles in the order of

playback will be played.

≥ Playback order may be different from other

MP3 players even if the same disc is used.

≥ “ROOT” appears when displaying the root

folder’s folder name.

MP3, short for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3 LSF (Low Sampling Frequency), is a standard

for compressing digital video data adopted for video CDs and similar media. It is one of the audio compression

systems covered by MPEG’s (Motion Picture Experts Group) digital audio compression standards. What it

does is reduce the number of bytes in a song without detracting from the sound quality by eliminating big

sound waves within the sound range that is imperceptible to the human ear. This compression allows you to

reduce the contents of a conventional music CD by a factor of around 10. This means that you can record the

contents of 10 music CDs on a single CD-R or CD-RW. (The ﬁgures refer to data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R

or CD-RW at a ﬁxed bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.)

Points to Remember When Recording an MP3 Disc

Converting (encoding) audio data to an MP3 ﬁle

≥ It is recommended that you set the bit rate to “128 kbps or more” and “Fixed”.

≥ VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not supported.

Maximum number of ﬁles/folders

≥ Maximum number of trees: 8

≥ Maximum number of folders: 254 (Root folder is not included.)

≥ Maximum number of ﬁles: 512

≥ The playback sound quality differs depending on the encoding software and the bit rate. For details refer to
