Before connection, consult your car owner’s manual or your dealer.≥Connect to the cigarette lighter socket of a vehicle that has a 12 V battery. It is not compatible with a vehicle that has a 24 V battery.≥This is a special negative grounded Car DC Adaptor. Using this Car DC Adaptor with a plus grounded car can cause malfunction and lead to fire.
Cautions≥To avoid draining your car battery
– Disconnect the Car DC Adaptor from the cigarette lighter after use. The Car DC Adaptor continues to consume some power even if it is not being 
used, and if a battery pack is attached to this unit, it will start recharging which uses more power.
– Do not use the Car DC Adaptor for long periods when the engine is not running.
≥Turn the unit off before stopping the engine while using Car DC Adaptor, otherwise resume play (➜6) may not work.≥Leave some slack in the cord.≥No responsibility will be taken for damage that occurs due to faulty installation.
You can enjoy audio through your car audio system by connecting a car stereo cassette adaptor (not included) to the 
headphone jack on the left side of this unit.
Using this unit with other equipment
Turn off all equipment before connecting and read the appropriate operating instructions.
Connect the video output from this unit directly to the television.
≥The unit’s speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not place the unit near televisions, personal computers or other devices easily influenced 
by magnetism. Do not keep this unit and magnetized cards (bank cards, commuter passes, etc.) close together.
≥If you raise the volume on the television while playing this unit, the volume may abruptly become very loud when you switch to a television 
broadcast. Return the volume to its normal level before changing.
1 Connect the equipment to this unit.
2 Press [AV SELECT] to switch to “AUX”.
“AUX” lights on the unit’s display.≥Operate playback using the connected equipment. (Please read the operating instructions for the connected equipment)≥The unit does not turn off automatically while “AUX” mode is on. Turn the unit off when you have finished using it.
≥Do not leave the unit on a surface that may become hot such as a dashboard. The unit is not heat-resistant so may malfunction.≥DRIVER MUST NOT OPERATE OR VIEW THIS UNIT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.
Doing so will distract the driver and could cause a collision resulting in serious injury or property damage.
Connecting the included Car DC Adaptor
