CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The radio section of your new sound system does not require any maintenance. We recommend you keep this manual for reference on the many features found in this unit as well as how to set the clock.

The compact disc player section also requires no routine maintenance, but proper understanding of its use and handling will help you obtain maximum enjoyment of its capabilities. The following points should be observed:

l When cleaning the interior of the vehicle, do not get water or cleaning fluids on the

unit.

l The CD player is a precision instrument and will not operate properly in extreme hot

or cold. In case of such conditions, wait until the interior temperature of the vehicle reaches a normal temperature before using the player.

l If the temperature inside the player gets too hot, a protective circuit will automatically

stop play of the disc. In this case, allow the unit to cool off before operating the player again.

l Never insert anything other than a 5" (12 cm) compact disc into the player as the

mechanism can be damaged by foreign objects.

l Do not attempt to use 3" (8 cm) CD-Single discs in this unit, either with or without

an adaptor, as damage to the player and/or disc may occur. Such damage will not be covered by the Warranty on this product.

l When not using the disc player, always remove the compact disc. l When the vehicle warms up during the cold weather or under damp conditions,

moisture may condense on the lens of the disc player. Should this occur, the player will not operate properly until the moisture has evaporated.

extended periods.

l Do not stick paper, tape, or labels on the disc surfaces nor write on them with any

type of marker.

CD-R PLAYBACK CAPABILITY

This model can play most CD-R media that contains audio programs. Playback of CD-R depends on the conditions of the recording equipment and the
