Before using the Audio and Visual system

Precautions when using the system

WARNING

READ THIS MANUAL FIRST

Read this supplement carefully before using the audio and visual system. We are not liable for accidents or other problems resulting from failure to follow the instructions in this supplement.

AVOID OPERATING THE AUDIO AND VISUAL system WHILE DRIVING

You should stop the vehicle in a safe place before operating the audio and visual system. For safety’s sake, some of the audio and visual system’s functions cannot be used unless the vehicle is stationary. If you stare at the display with too much enthusiasm or oper- ate the switches of the system while in driving, the navigation system could cause your attention to be distracted from the current traffic conditions. Please be sure to input in the system as much information as possible before departure. And also please be sure to bring the vehicle to a stop in a safe place if you need to input information. The buttons for a touch screen that cannot be used are dis- played greyed out. Operating the navigation system while in driving could cause your attention to be distracted from the current traffic condi- tions. And in consequence, this could result in a severe or fatal accident. Always follow the descriptions of all operations and the instructions for safety given in this manual.

CAUTION

NEVER DISASSEMBLE OR MODIFY THE AUDIO AND VISUAL SYSTEM

Any attempt to disassemble or modify the audio and visual system could lead to a fire, an electric shock, or some other type of accident.

Do not continue using the audio and visual system if it mal- functions

If the system shows any sign of malfunctioning (for example, the monitor gives no picture), stop using it immediately and contact the nearest SUBARU dealer. Continuing to use the system could lead to a fire, an electric shock, or some other type of accident.

If the audio and visual system gets contaminated, emits smoke or an odd smell, stop using it

If a foreign object gets inside the system, liquid is spilled onto the system, or the system emits smoke or an unusual smell, stop using it immediately and contact the nearest SUBARU dealer. Continuing to use the system could lead to a fire, an electric shock, or some other type of accident.

Before using the Audio and Visual system

■ About the audio and visual screen • Subjecting the control buttons or liquid crystal display to excessive shock could result in audio and visual screen deformation or other damage.

• Keep any heat source (including lighted cigarettes) away from the

•

audio and visual screen. If a heat source is brought into contact with the audio and visual system cabinet and panel, they could be deformed or otherwise degraded. In extreme cold, the audio and visual screen may operate sluggishly and the display may dim. Such conditions do not indicate a problem. They will disappear when the cabin temperature rises to a normal temperature.

• Tiny black and white dots may occasionally appear in the liquid crys- tal display. These dots are a normal characteristic of the display. They do not indicate a problem.

• When the audio and visual screen requires cleaning, gently wipe it with a silicone cloth or other soft cloth. If necessary, spray the cloth with neutral cleaning fluid. Be sure to wipe away any cleaning fluid left on the audio and visual screen. Do not spray the cleaning fluid directly onto the audio and visual screen. Spraying cleaning fluid directly onto the audio and visual screen could cause an adverse effect on internal components. It is also not a good idea to wipe the audio and visual screen with a stiff cloth or attempt to clean it using thinners, alcohol, or any other volatile solvent. Doing so could leave scratches and/or erase the control button labels.

• Do not allow the audio and visual screen to get wet. If it gets wet

(allowing, for example, to a spilled drink or wet umbrella), its internal electronic circuitry may malfunction.

Audio and Visual 107

Before using the Audio and Visual system

•

In hot weather, cool the passenger compartment down before using the audio and visual system. The liquid crystal display operates cor- rectly at temperatures between 0°C and 60°C (32°F and 140°F). When the temperature exceeds 60°C (140°F), the audio and visual system circuit protection function is activated, causing the display to dim.

NOTE • In the interest of safety, the use of some functions may be unavailable while in

driving. The buttons for a touch screen that cannot be used are displayed greyed out.

• Liquid-crystal displays may be difficult to read when wearing polarized

glasses.

108 Audio and Visual

Discs that can be used

For the in-vehicle equipment, it is possible to look and listen to discs attached with the marks shown below. Music CD

DVD Video

CAUTION

• Handle the disc with care so that it does not get smeared

with fingerprints and stain, or does not get scratched.

Before using the Audio and Visual system

NOTE • Special discs are not supported that are not compliant with the formal CD

specifications such as the copy control CD.

• Discs such as CD-R (CD-Recordable) and CD-RW (CD-ReWritable) may not be played back when they are inferior in their recording condition and character- istics, when they get scratched or stained, or when they get deteriorated due to being left in the vehicle for a long time. And when CD-R and CD-RW has not been treated for finalization, they cannot be played back.

• The DVD which formatted with DVD-VR (Video Recording) mode, or DVD-VR

product can not be played in this system.

• When handling the disc, be sure to hold it at the center hole

and the edge with the labeled side up.

• When the disc gets stained, wipe it lightly with a soft, dry

cloth for spectacles with plastic lenses. Pressing the disc hard with your hand or rubbing it with a hard cloth may cause scratches on the surface. And, avoid the use of a solution such as record spray, antistatic agent, alcohol, benzine and thinner, or chemical duster. This may cause damage to the disc, rendering it unusable.

• After pressing the disc eject switch, do not leave it in the

ejected condition for a long stretch of time. This may cause warp to the disc, thus rendering it unusable.

• Store the disc away from direct sunlight, which may cause

warp to it, thus rendering it unusable.

• Discs that can be played back are limited only to those with a

circular form 12 cm in diameter. Avoid using irregular sized discs, which may cause malfunc- tion to the equipment.

• The DualDisc is not supported. Avoid using it, which may

cause malfunction to the equipment.

Audio and Visual 109

Before using the Audio and Visual system

• Avoid the use of discs of which the recording section is trans-

parent or translucent. These discs may not be inserted or ejected, or played back normally.

• Using lens cleaner may cause malfunction to the pick-up sec-

tion of the player. Be sure not to use it.

• Do not use discs attached with scotch tape, seal or CD-R

label, or those having traces of them. Using these discs may cause malfunction to the player with the ejection of discs unavailable.

110 Audio and Visual

Player

When there occurs an abnormal condition, the player stops automatically to protect the inside mechanism of the player. Even when conducting the operation according to the mes- sage displayed on the screen and the function is stopped, a malfunction may result. Get a checkup of the player at Subaru Dealer.

In the following cases other than malfunction, the player may not oper- ate normally. • When the disc can not read due to it being stained. • When the player is out of order. • When an abnormal temperature of the player has been detected.

(When the sign disappears after the temperature of the player gets back to the normal temperature, the player can be used.)

• When there occurs a dew condensation. (When it is cold or rains,

there occurs a dew condensation inside the player just as the inner surface of the vehicle glass clouds up. In such a case, the audio sound may be disturbed or the playback may be stopped. Ventilate or dehumidify the player for a while before using it.)

• When vibrated severely due to driving on rough roads. (The sound

may be disturbed.)

■ Input of a file name and a folder name When inputting a file name and a folder name, input them in half size alphanumeric characters. File names and folder names that are written in characters other than the above may not be displayed correctly. And depending on a writing software or a disc format used, characters that can be displayed are restricted. For details, refer to the instruction man- ual of the writing software. And files that can be acknowledged and played back are restricted only to those attached with an extension ".MP3" or ".WMA." When saving an MP3/WMA file, be sure to attach it with an extension ".MP3" or ".WMA."

Forbidden

If a file other than MP3/WMA is attached with an extension ".MP3" or ".WMA," it may be mistakenly acknowledged as an MP3/WMA file, thus causing the generation of loud noises to damage the speaker. So, do not attach any file other than MP3/WMA with an extension ".MP3" or ".WMA."

■ ID3/WMA Tag ID3/WMA Tag is compliant (Ver.1.0, 1.1).

MP3/WMA disc functions

For details of the characters that can be used, refer to the instruction manual of the writing software and "Input of file name and folder name." However, characters that can be displayed are as shown below. • Half size characters (alphanumeric, and ASCII codes) Characters other than the above are displayed with an asterisk "?." However, discs that can be played back with this in-vehicle equipment are accompanied by the following restrictions. • Maximum directory layers: 8 layers • Maximum number of files in a folder: 255
• Maximum number of folders: 254 (including the ROOT) • Maximum number of characters used in a folder name: 64 characters MP3/WMA files that are written in formats other than the above may not be played back normally, and the file name and the folder name of which may not be displayed correctly.

■ Setting of the compression software and the writing

software

When compressed into an MP3/WMA file, it is recommended that the setting of the transfer bit rate of the compression software is "fixed" to "128 kbps." When recording a blank media up to the maximum capacity at once, make a setting to "Disc at Once."

■ Example of Media hierarchy

MP3/WMA disc functions

■ Files that are written into media When media that contains MP3/WMA files is inserted, first of all, all the files in the disc are checked. So, when a lot of folders and files other than MP3/WMA are written into the media to be played back, a lot of time is required before starting the playback of the media. And time may be required before proceeding to the playback of the next MP3/WMA file, and a file search and a folder search cannot be con- ducted smoothly.

■ Sequence in which MP3/WMA files are played back. The sequence in which files and folders are selected while in the play- back, folder search, file search and the folder selection is in the order in which they are written with the writing software. Accordingly, the sequence in which the files are expected to be played back may not conform to the sequence in which the files are actually played back. Depending on the writing software, entering "01" to "90" at the head of the file name as a playback sequence with it written in CD-R may allow you to set the sequence in which files are played back. Conducting a folder search, a file search and a folder selection in the media of the fol- lowing folder/file layer results in a media hierarchy as shown below.

WARNING

• Never try watching videos or using other entertainment pro-

grams with the Audio and Visual System by keeping the vehicle engine running in a garage or other enclosed area. Exhaust gases accumulated in such an area and entering the vehicle are dangerous, and even lethal.

• The driver must not attempt to operate or watch the DVD

while the vehicle is in motion. Doing so will distract attention from driving and the road, and could lead to an accident.

• If you wish to park the vehicle and enjoy an entertainment

program on this system, select a safe place that does not hinder traffic and has a legal parking area.

NOTE • Using the Audio and Visual System with the engine stopped could lower the battery electricity level. If the initial charge level is too low, the engine may not start the next time. It is recommended that the system be used only while the engine is running, except when the vehicle is parked in a garage or other enclosed area.

• In the interest of safety, the use of some functions may be unavailable while in

driving. The buttons for a touch screen that cannot be used are displayed greyed out.

• Liquid-crystal displays may be difficult to read when wearing polarized glasses.
