You cannot change the aspect in the menu screen and a
screen in the CD, MP3/WMA, radio and CD changer
mode. These are fixed to “FULL” as well as a Navigation
Image.
¡When the rear view camera is in operation with the
transmission gear shift in the reverse position, the
image is shown on the “FULL” screen only.
¡In some cases, the picture looks different from the
original one due to your selection of aspect.
Caution
¡This is to remind you that compression or extension
of the screen using the aspect ratio (screen mode)
changing function of this product for commercial
purpose of profit making or viewing/listening by the
public could infringe on the rights of the author pro-
tected by the copyright law.
¡If you expand normal picture (4 to 3) by using
“JUST”, “ZOOM” or “FULL” aspect to the full of the
screen, you might not see the periphery of the pic-
ture, or you might see a distorted picture.
Therefore, use the “NORMAL” mode to see the orig-
inal picture as the author intended it.

Disc insert
The surfaces of new discs tend to be slippery. Therefore,
when using such a disc for the first time, it may not load
satisfactorily even when it has been inserted into the
unit.  At a time like this, insert the disc into the unit as far
as it will go until it is loaded properly.
¡When inserting a disc into or ejecting and removing
it from the unit, insert it straight in or eject and
remove it straight out in parallel with the unit.
Otherwise, the disc may be scratched or marked in
the process.
¡When inserting a disc, do not put one disc on anoth-
er.  Failure to observe this may cause the discs to
be jammed.
Do not leave discs in the following places:
¡Direct sunlight
¡Near car heaters
¡Dirty, dusty and damp areas
¡On seats and dashboards
Disc cleaning
Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe from the center outward.
Do not attach any seals or labels to your discs.
Do not write on the disc label in a heavy pen or ballpoint

DVD–Rs/RWs
¡You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW,
DVD–Rs/RWs discs recorded on CD/DVD recorders
(CD-R/RW, DVD–Rs/RWs drives), either due to their
recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints, scratch-
es, etc. on the disc surface.
¡CD-R/RW, DVD–Rs/RWs discs are less resistant to
high temperatures and high humidity than ordinary
music CDs.  Leaving them inside a car for extended
periods may damage and make playback impossible.
¡The unit may not successfully playback a CD-R/RW,
DVD–Rs/RWs that was made by the combination of
writing software, a CD/DVD recorder (CD-R/RW,
DVD–Rs/RWs drive) and a disc if they are incompati-
ble with one another.
¡This player does not play CD-R/RW, DVD–Rs/RWs
discs if the session is not closed.
¡Be sure to observe the handling instructions of CD-
R/RW, DVD–Rs/RWs discs.

Definition of Terms
Dolby Digital
This fully discrete format divides the music signals
into 5.1 channels: Front Left (L), Front Right (R),
Center (C), Left Surround (LS), Right Surround (RS)
and Subwoofer (SW: 0.1 channel) for recording and
playback. The number of channels that are recorded
depends on the software. (1 to 5.1 channels)
Dolby Pro Logic
This format records signals from four channels
[Front Left (L), Front Right (R), Center (C), and
Monaural Surround (S)] in two channels, decodes
those channels through a Dolby Pro Logic decoder,
and then outputs the resulting signals in four chan-
nels.
dts
This format requires more data than Dolby Digital,
and provides higher quality surround playback.
Similar to Dolby Digital, this fully discrete format
divides the music signals into 5.1 channels: Front
Left (L), Front Right (R), Center (C), Left Surround
(LS), Right Surround (RS) and Subwoofer (SW: 0.1
channel) for recording and playback.

sion. Because the capacity of a DVD disc is large, it
can store more data with better accuracy than a CD.
Pan & Scan screen
This refers to a screen on which the playback picture
of wide-screen DVDs or VCD (Video CD)s is cut off
at the left and right sides. Playback control (VCD (Video CD))
