When shipping the DVD player, the original shipping carton and packing materials must be used. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

Do not use volatile liquids, such as aerosol spray, near the DVD player. Do not leave any plastic products in contact with the DVD player for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the finish.

The top and rear panels of the DVD player may become warm after a long period of use. This behaviour is normal.

When the DVD player is in use and the engine is off, do not turn on the player for a long time. Doing so, you may run the battery to where your car will not start.

If you do not use the DVD player for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the DVD player occasionally.

Notes on locating

Notes on Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation damages the DVD player. Please read the following carefully.

Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the DVD player.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases.

When you bring the DVD player directly from a cold place to a warm place.

When you use the DVD player in a room where you just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

In summer, when you use the DVD player in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned area.

When you use the DVD player in a humid place.

Do not use the DVD player when moisture condensation may occur.

If you use the DVD player in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, turn on the DVD player, and leave it for 2 or 3 hours . After 2 or 3 hours, the DVD player will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture.

Notes on cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner or benzine, as they may damage the surface of the DVD player.

If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that product's instructions.

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD player is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment.
