SAFETY PRECAUTION  
For safety reasons do not allow children to unfasten seat-belts to change  
video media or make any adjustments to the system. Enjoy your enter-  
tainment system but always remember the safety of all passengers is  
the number one priority.  
IMPORTANT NOTICE  
It is unlawful in most states for a person to drive a motor vehicle which is  
equipped with a television viewer or screen that is located in the motor  
vehicle at any point forward of the back of the driver’s seat, or that is  
visible, directly or indirectly, to the driver while operating the vehicle. In  
the interest of safety, this system should never be installed where it will  
be visible, directly or indirectly, by the operator of the motor vehicle.  
1. OBJECTS AND LIQUID  
Do not insert objects of any kind into the system through its open-  
ings; do not spill or spray liquid on or into the system (this may  
result in a fire or electric shock). Do not place heavy objects on the  
unit. To ensure proper ventilation and proper operation, never cover  
or block the slots and openings.  
2. DISASSEMBLY  
Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. There is a risk of electric  
shock and/or exposure to Laser Radiation. Contact qualified ser-  
vice personnel if your system is in need of repair.  
3. CLEANING UNIT  
When cleaning, make sure the system is unplugged from the power  
source. Do not use any solvents or cleaning materials. Clean the  
DVD player using a lightly dampened lint free cloth to wipe the unit.

discs as they may cause the unit to malfunction. Do not stick pa-  
per, tape or glue on the disc. Do not expose the disc to direct sun-  
light or heat sources. Do not touch the surface of the disc. Handle  
the disc by its edges. Clean the disc by wiping the disc from the  
center out with a soft lint free cleaning cloth. Remove the disc from  
the unit and store it in its case after playing. Some playback opera-  
tions of discs may be intentionally fixed by software producers. Unit

designed therefore some playback features may not be available.

5. Powering the DVD Player  
This system MUST be powered from switched (Accessory) power  
as indicated on the marking label. Power should be applied to the  
unit when the ignition key is in the Run and/or Accessory positions.  
Use only the supplied power cable provided with this set to avoid  
electric hazards.  
6. Operation

ture, moisture may condense inside the AVD400A and cause the  
DVD player to malfunction. If theAVD400Adoes not operate prop-  
erly under these conditions leave theAVD400Aturned on for at least  
30 minutes for the moisture to evaporate.
