Aspect RatioDefault: NORMAL
Mode: 4 types
Notes: 
¡This adjustment is common to TV, VTR1, VTR2, DVD and video CD mode.
¡You cannot change the aspect in the menu screen and a screen in the CD, MP3, radio and CD changer mode. These
are fixed to “FULL” as well as a Navigation image.
¡When the rear view camera is in operation with the transmission gear shift in the reverse position, the image is
shown on the “FULL” screen only.
¡In some cases, the picture looks different from the original one due to your selection of aspect.Press [ASP](ASPECT)on the display unit or press [A](ASPECT)on the
remote control to change the aspect ratio as follows.
NORMAL
¡The conventional display image has a 4
to 3 ratio of horizontal to vertical.
¡In this case, a blank area remains on the
right and left sides of the display.
FULL
¡The screen is extended horizontally as a
whole to the aspect ratio of 16 to 9.
¡The extension ratio is the same at any
point of the screen.
ZOOM
¡The screen is fully extended at the normal
aspect ratio of 4 to 3.
¡The top and bottom of the screen are
slightly cut.
JUST
¡The screen is extended horizontally to the
aspect ratio of 16 to 9.
¡The extension ratio increases toward the
right and left ends of the screen.
[ASP](ASPECT)

Cautions: 
¡This is to remind you that compression or extension of the screen using the aspect ratio (screen mode)
changing function of this product for commercial purpose of profit making or viewing/listening by the public
could infringe on the rights of the author protected by the copyright law.
¡If you expand normal picture (4 to 3) by using “JUST”, “ZOOM” or “FULL” aspect to the full of the screen, you
might not see the periphery of the picture, or you might see a distorted picture. Therefore, use the “NORMAL”
mode to see the original picture as the author intended it.

Cautions: 
¡Use the specified fuse. Be sure to always use the
specified fuse. If a fuse other than the specified fuse
is used, it may cause a fire or an accident.
¡Do not damage the cord by pinching or pulling it.
Do not pull or damage the cord. If the cord is not
treated properly, it will short out or be severed and
may cause a fire or an accident.
❏Identify All LeadsThe first step in installation is to identify all the car wires
you’ll use when hooking up your LCD monitor.
As you identify each wire, we suggest that you label it using
masking tape and a permanent marker. This will help avoid
confusion when making connections later. 
Note: Do not connect the power connector to the display
unit until you have made all connections. If there are no
plastic caps on the hooking wires, insulate all exposed
leads with electrical tape until you are ready to use them.
Identify the leads in the following order.
Power Lead
If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one: Cut the connector wires one at a time from the plug (leaving
the leads as long as possible) so that you can work withindividual leads. Turn the ignition on to the accessory posi-
tion, and ground one lead of the test bulb to the chassis.Touch the other lead of the test bulb to each of the exposed
wires from the cut radio connector plug. Touch one wire at a
time until you find the outlet that causes the test bulb to light. Now turn the ignition off and then on. If the bulb also turns
off and on, that outlet is the car power lead. 
If your car is not wired for an audio unit: 
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for radio
(RADIO) accessory (ACC) or ignition (IGN).
Battery Lead
If your stereo unit has a yellow lead, you will need to locate
the cars battery lead. Otherwise you may ignore this pro-
cedure. (The yellow battery lead provides continuous power
to maintain a clock or other functions.)
If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one: 
With the ignition and headlights off, identify the car battery
lead by grounding one lead of the test bulb to the chassis
and checking the remaining exposed wires from the cut
radio connector plug.
If your car is not wired for an audio unit: 
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for the battery,
usually marked BAT.Speakers (not supplied speaker)
Identify the car speaker leads. There are two leads for each
speaker, usually color coded.
A handy way to identify the speaker leads and the speaker
they are connected with is to test the leads using a 1.5 V
AA battery as follows.
Hold one lead against one pole of the battery and stroke the
other lead across the other pole. You will hear a scraping
sound in a speaker if you are holding a speaker lead.
If not, keep testing different lead combinations until you
have located all the speaker leads. When you label them,
include the speaker location for each.
