Important Notice

The disc player uses a laser beam. To avoid any risks of injury to the eyes or

electric shock, only qualified personnel are authorised to remove the cases and

carry out maintenance operations.

Do not push foreign objects into the unit through openings; do not spill or spray

liquid of any kind on or in the system (this may result in a fire or electric shock).

The DVD player is for rear seat passengers only. The driver cannot safely view

the video screen while driving and should not try to do so.

Prolonged use of the DVD player while the engine is not running can drain the

vehicle battery and may prevent the vehicle from starting.

Objects blocking the line of sight may also affect the function of the remote

control.

Do not store the remote control in heat or direct sunlight. This could damage the

remote control and may not be covered by the warranty.

Care of DVD/CD

For optimum use of DVD/CD discs, it is recommended that the disc is not

exposed to direct sunlight, heat, cold or excessive dampness (risk of damage).

Avoid touching the surface of the disc. Do not stick paper, tape or glue on the

disc. Do not use irregularly shaped discs (such as heart or star-shaped discs) as

they may cause the unit to malfunction. Do not use discs that show sign of

damage or distortion. When you have finished playing your disc, take it out of the

player and put it away in its case.

DVD Player Memory

Under severe vibration, the laser may not be able to maintain the precise focus

needed to read the tiny pits on the surface of the disc. When the laser focus is

temporarily lost, the data being read from the disc will also be temporarily

interrupted. Your DVD player is therefore fitted with a memory buffer that holds

approximately seven seconds of disc data, which is used to prevent interruption

over severely bumpy surfaces. Should the severe vibration last for longer than

seven seconds, the memory buffer may become empty and playback will be

interrupted or stop until the mechanism has time to refocus, read the disc and

refill the memory buffer. This situation should very rarely occur under normal

driving conditions.
