1.When the inside of the car is very cold and
the player is used soon after switching on the
heater, moisture may form on the disc (DVD/
CD) or the optical parts of the player and

off with a soft cloth. If moisture forms on the
optical parts of the player, do not use the
player for about one hour. The condensation
will disappear naturally allowing normal
operation.
2.Driving on extremely bumpy roads which
cause severe vibration may cause the sound
to skip.

Listening To MP3/WMA
This unit is an ID3 Tag compatible model.
This unit supports the ID3 TAGs of the Version 2.4, 2.3,
1.1 and 1.0.
In displaying, this unit gives priority to the Version 2.3
and 2.4 TAGs.
What is MP3/WMA?
MP3 is an audio compression method and classified
into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.
WMA is an audio compression method developed by
Microsoft Corporation.
These audio compression methods have penetrated
into PC users and become a standard format.
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 music CDs can be
recorded on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc to allow a
long listening time without having to change CDs.
Note: Some CDs recorded on CD-R/RW mode may not
be usable.
Displaying MP3/WMA TAG titles
Tag information such as title, artist and album title
can be displayed for MP3/WMA file containing Tag
information.

3. General Cautions
1. Do not open the case. There are no user- serviceable
parts inside. If you drop anything into the unit during
installation, consult your dealer or an authorized
Clarion service center.
2. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the case. Never use
a rough cloth, thinner, benzine, or alcohol etc. For
tough dirt, apply a little cold or warm water to a soft
cloth and wipe off the dirt gently.
4. Cauti
ons on Install
ation
1. Prepare all articles necessary for installing the
source unit before starting.
2. This model features an operation panel that slides
forward.
On some types of cars, the operation panel may
make contact with the dashboard or gearshift
lever, in which cause it cannot be installed. Before
installing, check that the unit will not hamper
operation of the gearshift lever or obstruct your view
before selecting the installation location. (Figure 2)
3. Install the unit within 30° of the horizontal plane.
(Figure 3)
4. If you have to do any work on the car body, such as
drilling holes, consult your car dealer beforehand.
5. Use the enclosed screws for installation. Using other
screws can cause damage. (Figure 4)

Installing the Main Unit in TOYOTA Vehicle
Install by using parts attached to the vehicle. (Screws marked are attached to the vehicle.)
*2. Some panel openings are too small for the unit
depending on the vehicle type and model. In such
a case, trim the upper and lower sides of the panel
frame by about 0.5 to 1.5 mm so the unit can be
inserted smoothly.
*3. If a hook on the installation bracket interferes with
the unit, bend and flatten it with a nipper or similar
tool.
