Warning

If you need to operate the unit while driving, be sure to 
look around carefully or you may be involved in a traffic 
accident.

Caution on volume setting

Discs produce very little noise compared with other sources. 
Lower the volume before playing a disc to avoid damaging 
the speakers by the sudden increase of the output level.

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.

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.
