•Do not expose the monitor to direct
sunlight.
Temperature inside the car....
If you have parked the car for a long time in
hot or cold weather, wait until the temperature
in the car becomes normal before operating the
unit.
For safety....
•Do not raise the volume level too much, as
this will block outside sounds, making driving
dangerous.
•Stop the car before performing any
complicated operations.
WARNINGS:
• DO NOT install any receiver in
locations where;
– it may obstruct the steering wheel and
gearshift lever operations, as this may
result in a traffic accident.
– it may obstruct the operation of safety
devices such as air bags, as this may
result in a fatal accident.
– it may obstruct visibility.
• DO NOT operate any receiver while
manipulating the steering wheel, as this
may result in a traffic accident.
• The driver must not watch the monitor
while driving.
If the driver watches the monitor while
driving, it may lead to carelessness and
cause an accident.
• The driver must not put on the
headphones while driving. It is
dangerous to shut off the outside sounds
while driving.
• If you need to operate the receiver while
driving, be sure to look ahead carefully
or you may be involved in a traffic
accident.
• If the parking brake is not engaged,
“ParkingBrake” flashes on the monitor,
and no playback picture will be shown.
– This warning appears only when
the parking brake wire is connected
to the parking brake system built
in the car (refer to the Installation/
Connection Manual).

Introduction — Playable discs
Discs you can play
You can play back the following discs—12 cm
(4-3/4") and 8 cm (3-3/16")—on this receiver:
•DVD Video: Recorded in NTSC color
system with Region Code “1”(see below).
–DVD-R/DVD-RW recorded in the DVD-
Video format can also be played.
•Video CD (VCD)/audio CD
•MP3/WMA/JPEG: Recorded either in CD-
R/CD-RW or DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD-ROM.
–CD-R/CD-RW: Compliant with ISO 9660
Level 1, ISO 9660 Level 2, Romeo, and
Joliet.
–DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD-ROM: Compliant
with UDF-Bridge Format*1.
On some discs, the actual operations may be
different from what is explained in this manual.
Discs cannot be played back
DVD-Audio, DVD-ROM (data), DVD-RAM,
DVD-R/DVD-RW recorded in the DVD-VR
format, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo
CD, etc.
•Playing back these discs will generate noise
and damage the speakers.
Note on Region Code:
DVD players and DVD Video discs have
their own Region Code numbers. This
receiver can only play back DVD discs
whose Region Code numbers include “1”.
Examples:
If you insert a DVD Video disc of an
incorrect Region Code
“Region Error”appears on the monitor on
the unit.
“REGION CODE ERROR!”appears on the
external monitor.
Caution for DualDisc playback
•The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc”does
not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital
Audio”standard. Therefore, the use of Non-
DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may
not be recommended.
Digital audio formats
The System can play back the following digital
audio formats.
Linear PCM: Uncompressed digital audio,
the same format used for CDs and most studio
masters.
Dolby Digital *2:Compressed digital audio,
developed by Dolby Laboratories, which
enables multi-channel encode to create the
realistic surround sound.
DTS *3(Digital Theater Systems):
Compressed digital audio, developed by Digital
Theater Systems, Inc., which enables multi-
channel like Dolby Digital. As the compression
ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it provides
wider dynamic range and better separation.
MPEG Audio: Another compressed digital
audio which also enables multi-channel encode
to create the realistic surround sound. However,
this System downmix the multi-channel signals
into 2 channels (decoded PCM) and play it
back.
*1A hybrid file system used to provide
compatibility with ISO 9660 for accessing
any type of files on the disc. (UDF stands for
Universal Disk Format.)
*2Manufactured under license from Dolby
Laboratories. “Dolby”and the double-
D symbol are trademarks of Dolby
Laboratories.
*3“DTS”and “DTS 2.0 + Digital Out”are
registered trademarks of Digital Theater
Systems, Inc.
