vehicle. You may cause an accident. Find a place to pull over and stop before you
configure the player.
• Keep the volume lower than you might if listening at home to ensure safe driving.
• Do not use the player with the ignition off, which could drain the vehicle’s battery.
• Parking in direct sunlight for several hours raises the temperature in the vehicle.
If the internal temperature is extremely high (over 50 degrees Celsius), start the
vehicle and let the interior cool down before you use the player.
• Before leaving the vehicle, eject the DVD disc and store it separately, away from
direct sunlight. Heat and humidity can damage DVD discs causing them not to play.
• Do not operate the player using a voltage higher than DC 12V.
General
• Do not pour liquid into the player or poke foreign objects, such as coins, into the
DVD drive slot. Water, humidity, and foreign objects may damage internal circuitry.
• Do not place screwdrivers or other metal objects near the player or disc.
• If the player becomes wet, turn off all power and ask your authorized Clarion Dealer
to clean or service the unit.
• Do not drop the player. You may cause permanent damage.
• If the vehicle’s battery dies or you disconnect the player from battery power, the
contents of the player’s memory will be lost and all options will return to their factory
defaults.
• The player uses a Class 1 Laser and will emit a visible or invisible hazardous laser
beam. Avoid looking directly at this beam.
Installation
Installation of mobile audio and video components requires experience with a variety
of mechanical and electrical procedures. Although this manual provides general
installation and operation instructions, it does not show the exact installation methods
for your particular vehicle.
If you do not have the required knowledge, experience, and/or tools to successfully
complete the installation, consult an authorized Clarion Dealer about professional
installation options.
• Video playback requires the installation of a separate monitor, such as Clarion’s
OHM series monitors. The monitor must support both NTSC and PAL TV standards.
• Do not install a video monitor where the driver can be distracted by it. Such
placement may cause a traffic accident and violate local regulations.
• The vehicle must have a 12V battery with negative grounding. Before installing it in
a recreational vehicle, truck or bus, check the battery voltage.
• For optimal performance and operation, mount the player horizontally. Avoid
mounting the player in a tilted position in excess of 15 degrees.

About DVDs
The contents of a DVD are organized into titles and chapters. A single work, such as a
movie, corresponds to a single title. Each scene corresponds to a chapter.
Chapter structure on a DVD
On karaoke discs, each song corresponds to a title.
Some discs are organized differently. How you access the titles depends on how the
disc was recorded:
Playing back some DVD-video discs may not be possible for a variety of reasons.
• With DVD-R discs, only recordings made in the video format (video mode) can be
played back.
• With DVD-RW discs, recordings made in the Video Recording format (VR mode)
cannot be played back.
• Even when DVD-R and DVD-RW recordings have been made using a playable
format (video mode), playback may not be possible due to disc characteristics,
scratches or dirt on the disc.
• Dirt and condensation on the lens inside the player may prevent playback.
• Although you may playback discs recorded using the correct format on a PC, the
recording software, environmental settings and other factors may inhibit playback.
With some DVD discs, you may not be able to use all player functions. For example,
discs that feature Playback Control (PBC) provide a playback menu and do not allow
the use the number buttons on the remote to directly enter chapter and track numbers.
About video CDs, VCDs and MP3 files
Video CDs and VCDs discs are organized into tracks with each track corresponding to
one song. Some discs also feature an index to the tracks.

Track structure on a music CD or video CD
Read the precautions with all CD-R and CD-RW discs before you use them. In addition:
• CD-Extra discs can be played back as music CDs.
• Playback of CD-R and CD-RW discs, other than those recorded with a music CD
recorder, may not be possible.
• Even those CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded using a music CD recorder may not
play back due to disc characteristics or dirt on the disc.
• As with DVDs, dirt and condensation on the lens inside the player may prevent
playback.
• Titles and other text information recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW disc cannot be
displayed on the player.
• With CD-RW discs, the time to play back will be longer than the time required to
play back a conventional CD or CD-R disc.
