Additional Information

Precautions

• Cool off the unit beforehand if your car has been

parked in direct sunlight.

• Power antenna (aerial) extends automatically.

Moisture condensation

Should moisture condensation occur inside the unit,

remove the disc and wait for about an hour for it to

dry out; otherwise the unit will not operate properly.

To maintain high sound quality

Do not splash liquid onto the unit or discs.

Notes on LCD panel

• Do not press on the LCD panel as doing so can

distort the picture or cause a malfunction (i.e., the

picture may become unclear, or the LCD panel

may be damaged).

• Do not touch other than with the finger, as it may

damage or break the LCD panel.

• Clean the LCD panel with a dry soft cloth. Do not

use solvents such as benzine, thinner,

commercially available cleaners, or antistatic

spray.

• Do not use this unit outside the temperature range

5 – 45 ºC (41 – 113 ºF).

• If your car was parked in a cold or hot place, the

picture may not be clear. However, the monitor is

not damaged, and the picture will become clear

after the temperature in your car becomes normal.

• Some stationary blue, red or green dots may

appear on the monitor. These are called “bright

spots,” and can happen with any LCD. The LCD

panel is precision-manufactured with more than

99.99 % of its segments functional. However, it is

possible that a small percentage (typically 0.01 %)

of the segments may not light up properly. This

will not, however, interfere with your viewing.

Notes on discs

the unit.

–8 cm (3 1/4 in) discs.

Note on playback operations of DVDs

and VCDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and VCDs may

be intentionally set by software producers. Since

this unit plays DVDs and VCDs according to the

disc contents the software producers designed, some

playback features may not be available. Also, refer

to the instructions supplied with the DVDs or

VCDs.

About Bluetooth function

What is Bluetooth technology?

• Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range

wireless technology that enables wireless data

communication between digital devices, such as a

cellular phone and a headset. Bluetooth wireless

technology operates within a range of about 10 m

(about 33 feet). Connecting two devices is

common, but some devices can be connected to

multiple devices at the same time.

• You do not need to use a cable for connection

since Bluetooth technology is a wireless

technology, neither is it necessary for the devices

to face one another, such is the case with infrared

technology. For example, you can use such a

device in a bag or pocket.

• Bluetooth technology is an international standard

supported by millions of companies all over the

world, and employed by various companies

worldwide.

On Bluetooth communication

• Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a

range of about 10 m.

Maximum communication range may vary

depending on obstacles (person, metal, wall, etc.)

or electromagnetic environment.

• The following conditions may affect the

sensitivity of Bluetooth communication.

– There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or

wall between this unit and Bluetooth device.

– A device using 2.4 GHz frequency, such as a

wireless LAN device, cordless telephone, or

microwave oven, is in use near this unit.

• Because Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN

(IEEE802.11b/g) use the same frequency,

microwave interference may occur and result in

communication speed deterioration, noise, or

invalid connection if this unit is used near a

wireless LAN device. In such as case, perform the

following.

– Use this unit at least 10 m away from the

wireless LAN device.

– If this unit is used within 10 m of a wireless

LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN device.

– Install this unit and Bluetooth device as near to

each other as possible.

• Microwaves emitting from a Bluetooth device may

affect the operation of electronic medical devices.

Turn off this unit and other Bluetooth devices in

the following locations, as it may cause an

accident.

– where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital,

train, airplane, or petrol station

– near automatic doors or a fire alarm

• This unit supports security capabilities that

comply with the Bluetooth standard to provide a

secure connection when the Bluetooth wireless

technology is used, but security may not be

enough depending on the setting. Be careful when

communicating using Bluetooth wireless

technology.

• We do not take any responsibility for the leakage

of information during Bluetooth communication.

• Connection with all Bluetooth devices cannot be

guaranteed.

– A device featuring Bluetooth function is

required to conform to the Bluetooth standard

specified by Bluetooth SIG, and be

authenticated.

– Even if the connected device conforms to the

above mentioned Bluetooth standard, some

devices may not be connected or work correctly,

depending on the features or specifications of the

device.

– While talking on the phone handsfree, noise may

occur, depending on the device or

communication environment.

• Depending on the device to be connected, it may

require some time to start communication.

Others

• Using the Bluetooth device may not function on

cellular phones, depending on radio wave

conditions and location where the equipment is

being used.

• If you experience discomfort after using the

Bluetooth device, stop using the Bluetooth device

immediately. Should any problem persist, consult

your nearest Sony dealer.

If you have any questions or problems concerning

your unit that are not covered in this manual, consult

your nearest Sony dealer.

Maintenance

Replacing the lithium battery of the

card remote commander

Under normal conditions, the battery will last

approximately 1 year. (The service life may be

shorter, depending on the conditions of use.)

When the battery becomes weak, the range of the

card remote commander becomes shorter. Replace

the battery with a new CR2025 lithium battery. Use

of any other battery may present a risk of fire or

explosion.

Notes on the lithium battery

•Keep the lithium battery out of the reach of children.

Should the battery be swallowed, immediately

consult a doctor.

•Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to assure a good

contact.

•Be sure to observe the correct polarity when

installing the battery.

•Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers,

otherwise a short-circuit may occur.

Fuse replacement

When replacing the fuse, be

sure to use one matching the

amperage rating stated on the

original fuse. If the fuse blows,

check the power connection and

replace the fuse. If the fuse

blows again after replacement,

there may be an internal

malfunction. In such a case,

consult your nearest Sony

dealer.

Removing the unit

1Insert both release keys

simultaneously until they click.

2Pull the release keys to unseat the

unit.

3Slide the unit out of the mounting.
