Care and Maintenance
• Use only a clean silicone cloth and neutral detergent to clean the front panel or monitor. A
rough cloth and non-neutral detergent (such as alcohol) may result in scratching or discolora-
tion.
• Do not get water or cleaning fluids on the unit.
• If the temperature inside the player gets too hot, a protective circuit automatically stops play
of the disc. If this occurs, allow the unit to cool before operating the player again.
• Never insert anything other than a 5” (12 cm) compact disc into the player as the mechanism
can be damaged by foreign objects.
• Do not attempt to use a 3” (8 cm) CD-Single disc in this unit, either with or without an adaptor,
as damage to the player and/or disc may occur. Such damage is not covered by the Warranty
on this product.
• The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items such
as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.
• The DVD player may not operate properly in extreme hot or cold. If such conditions occur,
allow the interior of the vehicle to reach a normal temperature before using player.
• When the vehicle warms up during cold weather or under damp conditions, condensation
may appear on the LCD panel. Should this occur, the screen will not operate properly until the
moisture has evaporated.
• We suggest you use a cleaning disc in this unit more frequently than in the unit in your home
due to the environmental conditions of the vehicle.
