Owner’s Manual
For your safety, the driver should not watch any video
sources and/or operate the controls while driving. Please
note that watching and operating any video sources while
driving is prohibited by law in some countries. Also, while
driving, keep the volume to a level at which external
sounds can be heard.
Do not disassemble or modify this unit. It may cause an
accident, re, or electric shock.
Do not use this unit when a trouble exists, such as no
screen content appears or no sound is audible. It may
cause an accident, re, or electric shock. For that case,
consult your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion ser-
vice center.
In case of a problem, such as any material has entered
in the unit, the unit gets wet, or smoke or strange smells
come out of the unit, etc., stop using this unit immediately,
and consult your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion
service center.
Using it in that condition may cause an accident re, or
electric shock.
Use a fuse with the same specication only when replac-
ing the fuse.
Using a fuse with a different specication may causes a
re.
For the installation of this unit or a change in the installa-
tion, ask your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion ser-
vice center for safety. Professional skills and experience
are requires to do so.
As the driver, you alone are responsible for your driving
safety.
In order to avoid a trafc accident, do not operate the sys-
tem while driving.
In order to avoid a trafc accident, operate the system
only when the vehicle is stopped at a safe place and the
parking brake is on.
The software may contain inaccurate or incomplete infor-
mation due to the passage of time, changing circumstanc-
es, and the sources of information used. Please respect
current trafc conditions and regulations at all times while
driving.
Keep the amount of time spent viewing the screen while
driving to a strict minimum.
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 play-
er 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.
Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause severe
vibration may cause the sound to skip.
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.
2. PRECAUTIONS
WARNING

VX387AU 7
English
English
Owner’s Manual
The operation panel will operate properly in a temperature
range of 0˚ to 60˚ C.
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.
If a problem should occur, have the set inspected at your
store of purchase.
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 tem-
perature increases.
Small black and shiny spots inside the liquid crystal panel
are normal for LCD products.
The USB memory sticks must be recognized as “USB
mass storage class” to work properly. Some models may
not operate correctly.
When the memorized data is lost or damaged by any
chance, the distributor shall not be liable for any damage.
When using an USB memory stick, we recommend that
you backup your data stored on it before by using a per-
sonal computer etc.
Data les may be broken when using USB memory sticks
in the following situation: When disconnecting the USB
memory stick or turning the power off during writing or
reading data. When affected by static electricity or electric
noise. Connect/disconnect the USB memory stick when it
is not accessed.
Connecting with the computer is not covered.
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, and 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.

er stations (TP). This function is not available in some areas.
When using the RDS function, always set the radio to FM
mode.
The RDS feature consists of:
AF : Alternative Frequency
PS : Programme Service Name
PTY : Programme Type
EON : Enhanced Other Network
TP : Trafc Programme
TA : Trafc Announcement
* RDS interrupt does not function during AM radio reception.

Consult the manufacturer of your USB memory device
for information regarding whether it is supported by “USB
Mass Storage Class” standards.
To prevent the accidental loss of data, always back up
important data on your computer.
This unit does not support connections to a computer. In
addition, connections made through a USB hub device
are also not supported.
When a USB memory device is composed of two or more
drives, only the rst drive will be detected.
USB memory devices with security functions cannot be
played.
The order in which tracks are recorded may differ depend-
ing on the USB memory device connected (the actual
playback order may not be the same as that indicated on
your computer’s display).
