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 wet the LCD panel or expose it to

liquids. This may cause a malfunction.

• 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.

Maintenance

Replacing the lithium battery of the

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

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
