IMPORTANT REMARKS ON THE
SUPPLIED HEADPHONES
KS-HP2
❒Do not leave the headphones exposed
to direct sunlight, e.g. on the dashboard,
for long because they may be damaged.
❒Keep the headphones far from mobile
phones to avoid interferences.
❒Do not switch the unit off when the
disc is being played at high volume. The
next time the headphones are used,
high volume levels and sudden switch-
on may damage both the headphones
and your hearing.
❒If you hear whistles in your ears, reduce
the volume or take the headphones off.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USING
THE LCD PANEL
❒Do not expose the LCD panel to direct
sunlight.
❒If the car needs to be parked in espe-
cially hot or cold places for long, wait
until the temperature inside the car be-
comes stable before switching the head-
phones on.
❒Headphones storage temperature
range: from –40°C to +85°C.
❒When the LCD panel reaches ex-
tremely high or low temperatures,
chemical changes occur inside the pan-
el which may cause operating problems.IMPORTANT The LCD panel was de-
signed with high precision technology and
ensures a min. image pixel level of 99.99%.
It is, however, worth considering that
0.01% of the panel may display missing pix-
els or invariably bright pixels.
❒Do not drop the LCD panel or hit it
vigorously.
❒Red, blue and green dots on the LCD
panel surface are normal for this type
of product and do not indicate any mal-
functioning.
The temperature in
summer reaches up
to 100°C.
Dots
❒When the temperature is extremely
high or low, the image may not appear
clearly or may move slowly. In these
conditions the image may lose syn-
chronisation with the audio, and the
quality of the image may be remarkably
lower. This, however, does not indicate
any malfunctioning or problem.

PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
Cutting power out
❒If power is disrupted during listening,
the next time the disc is played it will
start from the point where it was
stopped.
OPERATIONS WITH DISCS
General
❒In this manual the words “track” and
“file” have the same meaning and are
therefore interchangeable.
❒If different types of files are recorded
on the CD, this unit only plays audio
CD files (CD-DA).
IMPORTANT The first track is skipped if
the first file detected is not an audio file.
❒After loading the disc, select “DISC” as
the source of the signal: this will auto-
matically start playback.Starting playback
❒When there is no disc in the unit, the
message “NO DISC” appears on the
screen.
❒If the disc is loaded upside down, the
message “NON-PLAYABLE DISC” ap-
pears on the screen and the disc is au-
tomatically ejected.
❒The disc can be played even with the
monitor closed.
Preliminary operations
❒No sound is produced during slow mo-
tion playback.
❒When playing a VCD, reverse slow mo-
tion playback is not possible.
❒The One Touch Replay function works
exclusively within the same title. (In
some DVDs this function cannot be
used).
❒When playing a DVD/VCD, audio is not
played during a search.
❒Reverse search stops automatically
when the beginning of the disc is
reached. Playback resumes at normal
speed.Special disc functions
❒When expanding an image, its quality
may be jeopardised.
Playing recordable/rewritable discs
❒The unit recognises 3500 files or
250 folders in total (max. 999 files per
folder).
❒Use “finalized” discs only.
❒The unit allows using max. 25 charac-
ters for file/folder names in total.

tiple session discs. However, open ses-
sions are skipped during playback.
❒This unit also plays finalized +R/+RW

PRECAUTIONS
Playing JPEG files
❒This unit plays JPEG files with a <.jpg>
or <.jpeg> extension (regardless of capi-
tol characters).
❒The apparatus does not play JPEG2000
files.
❒We recommend that files be record-
ed with a 640 x 480 resolution (if the
file is recorded with a higher resolution,
it will take a while to view it).
❒This unit only plays baseline JPEG files.
It does not play progressive or lossless
JPEG files.
– Baseline JPEG format: this format is
used in digital cameras, the Web, etc.
– Progressive JPEG format: this format
is used in the Web.
– Lossless JPEG format: this is an old
file type which is rarely used nowa-
days.
❒If progressive or lossless JPEG files are
played, a black screen appears. If this
is the case, stop disc playing and select
a baseline JPEG file. Selection of an-
other file may require a long time.
❒The current image may be skipped
when an attempt is made to pause it
while the next image is being paused.Playing MPEG-1/MPEG-2 files
❒This unit plays MPEG-1/MPEG-2 files
with a <.mpg> or <.mpeg> extension
(regardless of capitol characters).
❒The stream format must be in line with
the MPEG system or program format.
❒The file must be in the following for-
mats: MP@ML (Main Profile a Main Lev-
el)/SP@ML (Simple Profile a Main Lev-
el)/MP@LL (Main Profile a Low Level).
❒The audio stream must be in line with
the MPEG1 Audio Layer-2 format.

or <.avi> extension (regardless of capi-
tol characters).
❒This unit supports DivX 6.x, 5.x, 4.x and

❒This unit supports DivX files with a 720
x 480 pixel resolution or lower (30 fps)
and 720 x 576 pixel resolution or low-
er (25 fps).

(it is not played however).
DVD setting menu
❒If the language selected is not available
on the disc, the original language is au-
tomatically selected by default. In some
discs default language settings do not
work because of the programming of
their internal disc.

MENU LANGUAGE, AUDIO LAN-
GUAGE and SUBTITLES options,
