8. CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

For a longer service life, be sure to read the following cautions.
Be sure to store the LCD panel inside the
source unit when parking the car outdoors for long periods of time.
Owners Guide The LCD panel will operate properly in a temperature range of 32F (0C) to 140F (60C).
Do not draw the LCD panel out and use it as
a tray. Also, subjecting the LCD panel to shocks may result in breakage, deformation or other damage.
Dont allow any liquids on the set from drinks,
umbrellas etc. Doing so may damage the internal circuitry.
Do not let cigarettes burn the LCD panel.
Doing so may damage or deform the cabinet.
Do not disassemble or modify the set in any
way. Doing so may result in damage.
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 LCD panel and the source unit when the panel is tilted. Do not place anything on the LCD panel when the LCD panel is tilted.
Do not hold on the display when adjusting the
angle of the LCD panel. Doing so may damage it. The remote controller may not work if the remote control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight. In extremely cold weather, the movement of the picture may be slow and the display may be dark, but this is not a malfunction. The set will work normally once the temperature increases.

The operation panel turns upward and downward several times and stops at the stored angle. 5) Press the ADJ button 10 to return to the previous mode.

10. FM RECEPTION

Understanding the Difficulties of FM Reception in Your Car
FM radio waves are transmitted in the very high frequency range (VHF). These waves move in straight lines, much like light. Tall buildings, hills and mountains, or other obstructions may cause shadows or loss of signal, noted by a momentary hissing noise in the reception. These obstructions found in day-to-day urban travel can reflect or bounce the signal. When reflected and direct signals arrive at the radios antenna together, a similar noise problem may occur, called multi-path interference. In addition, the vehicle itself can be the culprit, creating various types of impulse noise (usually associated with the vehicles ignition and/or other parts of the electrical system), which again will deteriorate signal quality.
Signal Actuated Stereo Control (SASC)
In weak signal conditions, the SASC circuit will provide optimum, low noise reception. As the signal weakens, stereo separation is smoothly converted to a monaural signal with a gradual cut-back on high frequency reproduction, minimizing hiss and noise.
Balanced Mixer FM Front-End Dual-Gate FET
The balanced mixer pre-amp section is designed to provide a uniform signal to the tuner creating the best possible noise-free reception. A variable gain stage automatically controls the amplitude of the signal according to the incoming signal strength. As the signal deteriorates or weakens, the gain is increased to ensure the highest quality signal with the least amount of noise. When signal strength becomes very strong, the gain is reduced, avoiding unnecessary distortion.

Triple Stage Narrow Band IF Filters
The new triple stage IF and ceramic filter system enables the tuner to focus on the selected frequency ignoring stronger or nearer stations to prevent frequency hopping. With this type of narrow band filtering, the selectivity of the tuner can be increased.

AM/FM Tuner

combines both AM and FM tuners into one small, unique package. The design incorporates many advanced technologies exclusively engineered to improve FM and AM performance.
