The gear icon (⚙️) is universal. Even if the text is Kanji, the icon is the same. For the HRZ099:
: Most core functions like volume, track skip, and FM/AM tuning use universal icons that don't require Japanese knowledge to operate.
If the unit has a hard-reset button (a small pinhole), resetting the system sometimes prompts a language selection screen upon startup.
This unit is a beast. It was a high-end, premium flagship model featuring DVD navigation, music storage (Music Server), hard drive playback, and a gorgeous high-resolution display. But for those of us who imported a car from Japan or bought this unit second-hand, the language barrier can make this amazing piece of tech feel like a brick.
