2. PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

For your safety, the driver should not watch the DVD video/TV/VTR or operate the controls while driving. Please note that watching and operating the DVD video/TV/VTR while driving are prohibited by law in some countries. Also, while driving, keep the volume to a level at which external sounds can be heard.

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 (DVD/

CD) or the optical parts of the player and proper playback may not be possible. If moisture forms on the disc (DVD/CD), wipe it off with a soft cloth. If moisture forms on the optical parts of the player, do not use the player for about one hour. The condensation will disappear naturally allowing normal operation.

2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause severe vibration may cause the sound to skip.

3. This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even in the event that trouble arises, never open the case, disassemble the unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.

4. TV broadcast reception (when the optional TV tuner is connected)

When receiving the TV broadcast, 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.

* If the reception is poor, switch to a station with good reception.

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 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.

18

VRX766VD


Handling Discs

Handling

• New discs may have some roughness around 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.

Ball-point pen

Roughness

• Never stick labels on the surface of the disc or mark the surface with a pencil or pen.

• 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 expose discs to excess humidity or dust.

• Do not expose discs to direct heat from heaters.

Cleaning

• 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.

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

CAUTION

With the screen open, a driver may not be able to see the disc insertion slot. For your safety, insert a disc with the screen closed.

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.

2. Files other than MP3/WMA data cannot be played.

●Logical format (File system)

1. When writing an MP3/WMA file on a disc, 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 filename 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.

●Folder structure

1. A disc with a folder having more than 8 hierarchical levels will conflict with the

ISO9660 and playback will be impossible.

●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.

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.)

• 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 64 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.

Note:

• If ID3 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.

Regarding MP3/WMA folder creation

Up to 8 folder levels (including the root directory) can be created for MP3/WMA files (items 1 – in the illustration). However, on this unit, folders created above the third level will be converted to

2 levels.

Improper NTSC/PAL setting

Bad receiving condition

The TV tuner has a double or triple image.

The TV tuner has spots or stripes in the image.

There are red, green, and blue points in the display.

Bad receiving condition

Presence of jamming

A radio wave may not reach sufficiently due to obstruction of mountains or buildings. Check it again at a place where a radio wave can be received properly.

It may be under the influence of radio wave reflected by mountains or buildings. Check it again after changing place or direction.

It may be under the influence from automobiles, streetcar, power cable, neon sign, and so forth.

Check it again after changing place.

This is not a failure, but a phenomenon peculiar to a liquid crystal panel (The liquid crystal panel is produced according to technology with very high precision. Note that, though there are effective pixels of 99.99% or more, pixel missing or normally lit pixels account for 0.01%).
