Liquid crystal panel/Generalities
For a longer service life, be sure to read the following cautions.
Owner’s manual
• Be sure to house the liquid crystal panel inside
the main unit when parking the car outdoors for
a long period of time. The liquid crystal 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.
• Do not draw the liquid crystal panel out and use
it as a tray. Also, subjecting the liquid crystal
panel to shocks may result in breakage,
deformation, or other damage.
• Do not let cigarettes burn the display. Doing so
may damage or deform the cabinet.
• If a problem should occur, have the set
inspected at your store of purchase.
• Do not insert objects or poke in the space
between the liquid crystal panel and the main
unit when the panel is tilted.
Cleaning
• Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft and 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, 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.
VRX785BT
• Do not place anything on the display when the
panel is tilted.
• 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
temperature increases.
• Small black and shiny spots inside the liquid
crystal panel are normal for LCD products.
• The liquid crystal panel may stop temporarily
when it opens or closes, when the engine stops
or when it is cold.
• The touchkeys on the display operate when
slightly touched. Do not press the touchkey
screen with much force.
• Do not push the case surrounding the touchkey
panel with much force. This may cause
malfunctioning of the touchkeys.

This system can playback MP3/WMA/AAC files recorded on a disc.
About the MP3/WMA/AAC files
MP3, WMA, and AAC are the audio file formats
which have penetrated into PC users and
become a standard format.
MP3 is an audio compression method and
classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio
compression method developed by Microsoft
Corporation.
AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is a newer audio
compression method developed for used with
video compression standards MPEG-2 and
MPEG-4, and has been adopted as the standard
audio format of the iPod and iTunes by Apple Inc.
These features compress the original audio data
to about 10 percent of its initial size with a high
sound quality. This means that about 10 audio
CDs can be recorded on a CD-R/RW disc to
allow a long listening time without having to
change CDs.
Displaying MP3/WMA/AAC Tag titles
Tag information (track title, artist name, and
album title) can be displayed for an MP3/WMA/
AAC file containing the Tag information.
This system supports the ID3 TAG version 1.x/
2.x and WMA-TAG.
Note:
• Tag information entered with 2-byte characters
may not be displayed properly on the display.
• The ID3 version 2.x tag format is not completely
supported. This system can display information up
to 60 bytes, and ignores the rest.
• Album titles of WMA-TAG may not be displayed
properly.
●General precautions
• Files other than MP3/WMA/AAC format cannot
be played. In addition, some files may not be
played because of the encoding settings.
When a file cannot be played, the next file is
played instead.
• Some noise may occur depending on the type
of encoder software used to encode the data.
• You can apply the VBR (Variable Bit Rate)
format when encoding. In this case, the
displayed play time may be slightly different
from the actual play time.
• Files that the DRM (Digital Rights
Management) function is set cannot be played.
●For MP3 files
• Set the Sampling Frequency to:
• MPEG1 Layer3: 32, 44.1, or 48 kHz
• MPEG2 Layer3: 16, 22.05, or 24 kHz
• MPEG2.5 Layer3: 8, 11.025, or 12 kHz
• Set the Bit Rate to:
• MPEG1 Layer3: 32 to 320 kbps (VBR)
• MPEG2 Layer3: 8 to 160 kbps (VBR)
• MPEG2.5 Layer3: 8 to 160 kbps (VBR)
• Add a file extension “.MP3” or “.mp3” using
single byte characters.
●For WMA files
• Set the Sampling Frequency to within ranges
from 22.05 to 44.1 kHz.
• Set the Bit Rate to 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, or
192 kbps.
• Add a file extension “.WMA” or “.wma” using
single byte characters.
●For AAC files
• This system supports only the MPEG4 Audio
files encoded by the iTunes.
• Set the Sampling Frequency to 44.1 or 48 kHz.
• Set the Bit Rate to within ranges from 16 to 320
kbps (VBR).
• Add a file extension “.M4A” or “.m4a” using

DivX Operations
This system can playback DivX movie files recorded on a disc.
• Official DivX® Certified product
• Plays all versions of DivX® video (including DivX® 6) with standard playback of DivX® media files.
Owner’s manual
About the DivX file
What is DivX?
DivX is a popular media technology created by
DivX, Inc. DivX media files contain highly
compressed video with high visual quality that
maintains a relatively small file size. DivX files
can also include advanced media features like
menus, subtitles, and alternate audio tracks.
Many DivX media files are available for download
online, and you can create your own using your
personal content and easy-to-use tools from
DivX.com.
Selecting the DivX mode
1. Set a disc which the DivX files are recorded to
the DVD player.
The system will automatically read the disc
data, change to the DVD mode (DivX mode),
and start playback after a while.
See also “Setting/Ejecting a Disc” (page 21).
Precautions on the DivX file
• This system can play DivX version 4.x, 5.x, and
6.x files. DivX Ultra is not supported.
• Files other than DivX format cannot be played.
In addition, some files may not be played
because of the encoding format. When a file
cannot be played, the next file is played
instead.
• DivX VOD (Video-on Demand files) that have
authorization data can also be played. These
files must be authorized on your PC
beforehand using the DivX Registration Code
displayed on the System tab screen under the
General Setttings screen (see page 63).
• Set the Frame Size to 640 x 480 or 320 x 240
pixels.
• Set the Frame Rate to 30 or 15 fps.
• Add a file extension “.AVI”, “.avi”, “.DIVX”, or
“divx” using single byte characters.
Precautions when preparing a disc
Note:
• The limitations on preparing a disc are same as
those in the MP3/WMA/AAC modes. See
“Precautions when preparing a disc” (page 38).
WARNING
• Some movie files may be recorded at a
higher volume level than desired.
Increase the volume gradually from the
minimal setting after the movie has
started.
• For your safety, the driver should not
watch the movie or operate the controls
while driving. Please note that watching
and operating the movie while driving are
prohibited by law in some countries.
Note:
• For your safety, this system has a safety function
which turns off the picture when the car is moving,
so only the audio can be heard. The picture can
only be watched when the car is stopped and the
parking brake is applied.
• If “AUDIO ONLY” appears on the screen just after
turning on the ACC power of the car, release the
parking brake while confirming safety, and then
engage the parking brake again.
• You can store DivX files and the MP3/WMA/AAC files
together in a disc or folder. In such a case, you can
select whether the disc is regarded as a DivX disc or
as an MP3/WMA/AAC disc. See “Setting the Playform
of discs recorded with audio files” (page 41).
●When a disc is already set
1. Press the [SRC] button to display the Source
screen.
2. Touch the [DVD] key to select the DivX mode.
The system changes to the DVD mode (DivX
mode), and starts playback from the previous

the cables through a place where it may
affect the operation of the airbag.
• An airbag not operating correctly in an
emergency may cause increased injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION
• Verify wires with a digital multi-meter prior
to making any connections. Many new
vehicles use multiplexed and/or low voltage
circuits that can be damaged if a test light
or logic probe is used.
• Connect cables appropriately. If a wrong
connection is made, this may cause a fire or
accident.
• When passing cables through the body of
the vehicle, use non-conductive grommets.
• If the coatings of the cables are worn out by
rubbing, this may cause an accident, fire or
a short circuit.
• After wiring cables, fix them with insulation
tape.
• Be sure to switch off the vehicle when
connecting or disconnecting cords to/from
