3. 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 reads 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. • 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

4. CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

Operation panel/Generalities

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

  • The operation panel will operate properly in a temperature range of 0 to 60^ .
  • 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.
  • Subjecting the operation 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 operation panel and the main unit 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 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.

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.
  • 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.

2-ZONE Function

About the 2-ZONE function

The 2-ZONE function is a function that outputs separate sounds/images from the MAIN zone and SUB zone (such as the optional rear monitor) by simultaneously operating two sources in the one centre unit. Thereby, plural listeners are allowed to enjoy separate audio/visual sources. The 2-ZONE function allows internal sources (TUNER, DVD, VISUAL, iPod) and external sources via CeNET connection (CD changer, TV, etc.) to be played on MAIN zone and SUB zone. Controlling sources of MAIN zone and SUB zone can be made from the main unit and from the remote control unit.

The source sounds of the MAIN zone are played back from the speakers of the vehicle side, and those of the SUB zone are from the headphone systems (WH143H/WH253H).

Sound volume control on the SUB zone is performed by the headphone system (WH143H/WH253H).

Note:

  • The TUNER mode cannot be specified for the SUB zone.
  • The 2-ZONE function is disabled when the following equipments are connected:

• 5.1 channel surround decoder (DVH943N)

• DAB tuner (DAH923)

  • The steering wheel remote control operations work upon the MAIN zone even when the SUB zone is selected.
  • When a voice interrupt of the navigation system arises during 2-ZONE ON, the sound of the MAIN zone is muted, and the sound of the SUB zone is output normally.

When it arises during 2-ZONE OFF, the audio signals to the 4ch speakers are attenuated, and the voice from the navigation system is output from the front two speakers.

  • You cannot operate the 2-ZONE function during the voice interrupt of the navigation system.
  • If a mobile phone interrupt arises when an external equipment is specified for the SUB zone, the 2-ZONE function is automatically turned off, and it does not resume to the 2-ZONE ON status even when the interruption is finished.
  • You cannot switch the MAIN and SUB zone when the following screen is displayed:

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.

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.

Note:

- Some CDs recorded on CD-R/RW mode may not be usable.

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.

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.

Playing files with a format not supported will be skipped, and the scan, random and repeat playback mode may be cancelled.

●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 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.

●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 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.

Note:

- 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.

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.
