control. Check that the remote
Control IR Sensor is not blocked.
Aim the remote control toward the
IR Sensor being controlled. Select
the correct screen, 3 or 4.

video input mode is selected. Check
that the video cable is plugged into
the jack securely. No Sound:
Check that the correct
audio input mode is selected. Check
that the audio cable is securely
plugged into the jack.
Cleaning the Video Screens
The video display screens are made
of a specially coated glass and can
be scratched or damaged by
abrasive products, solvents,
or ammonia-based window
cleaners. Clean with a soft, lint-free,
cotton cloth that has been slightly
dampened with warm water. Dry the
screens by wiping with a clean dry
cotton cloth.
Cleaning the Components
Use care when touching or cleaning
the components such as the DVD
player or the discs.
Do not use DVD lens cleaners for
DVD players because the lens of
the DVD optics can become
contaminated by lubricants. Handle CDs and DVDs carefully.
Store them in their original cases or
other protective cases and away
from direct sunlight and dust. The
DVD player scans the bottom
surface of the disc. If the surface of
a CD or DVD is damaged, such as
cracked, broken, or scratched, the
CD or DVD may not play properly or
not at all. If the surface of a CD or
DVD is soiled, take a soft, lint free
cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth
in a mild, neutral detergent solution
mixed with water, and clean it. Make
sure the wiping process starts from
the center to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a
CD or DVD while handling it; this
could damage the surface. Pick up
CDs or DVDs by grasping the outer
edges or the edge of the hole and
the outer edge.

In general there are flexible ways to
speak commands for completing the
tasks. Most of them, except
destination entry and voice keypad,
can be completed in a single
command. If the task takes more
than one command to complete, the
first command would be to indicate
the kind of task to be performed, like
“NavigationDestination Entry.” The
system replies with prompts that
lead you through a dialog to enter
the necessary information. For
example, if a destination for route
guidance is needed, say
“Navigation” or“Destination Entry.”
