Before using the deck
Introduction
About discs
•Water droplets can form on the inside of the unit during cold or
rainy weather in the same way car windows can fog up. (This is
condensation.) When this happens, the audio can jump and
playback can stop, so ventilate or dehumidify the vehicle for a
short time before operating the equipment.
•To safeguard the components of the player, the unit will
automatically stop when a malfunction occurs. If the player will
not operate even when messages displayed on the screen are
followed, consult with your equipment retailer because it is
possible that the unit has been damaged.
•It is possible that the sound will skip if the vehicle experiences
violent motion on rough roads.
•It is possible that a CD-R (CD-Recordable) or CD-RW (CDReWritable) disc will not play on the unit due to special disc
characteristics, scratches, dirt or deterioration caused by long
storage in the vehicle. In addition, a CD-R or CD-RW disc
written with CD-R, CD-RW or UDF format that has not been
finalized will not play on the unit.
•An audio disc or DVD video disc bearing one the marks on the
left can be played.
ATTENTION
TEXT
15
Introduction
•Be sure to store discs in their cases and keep them out of
direct sunlight. Discs can warp and become unusable.
•Do not apply paper-based tape to either the recording side or
label side of a disc. Damage could result.
•Do not use discs on which there are cracks or large warps.
Damage could result.
•Do not touch the recorded side of a disc when handling it.(This
is the side with the rainbow-colored reflection.) The disc may
become dirty and that could cause sound jumping.
•Using a disc that has become dirty can scratch the disc and
result in sound jumping. Use a commercially available compact
disc cleaner to clean a CD, wiping lightly from the center to the
edge.
•You may notice that some brand new discs are rough around
the center hole or outside edge.
•Remove the rough edges with the side of a ballpoint pen, etc.
Rough edges may prevent proper loading in the unit. Flakes
from the rough edges may also stick to the recorded surface
and interfere with playback.

Before using the deck
Introduction
•Do not use CD discs with attached cellophane tape, rental CD
discs with glue protruding from labels or discs with the residue
of peeled adhesives. Using discs with those conditions can
prevent the player from properly opening and closing as well
as cause other damage.
•Specially-shaped or octagonal CDs, like heart-shaped cannot
be played. Do not attempt to play them, even with an adapter,
since they may damage the player.
•Please do not use a commercially available lens cleaner
because it may cause damage to the pickup of the player.
•Do not use accessories(stabilizers, protective seals, laser lens
cleaners, etc.) sold for "improving sound performance" or
"protecting CDs." The changes in CD thickness or outside
dimensions made by these accessories may cause problems
in the player.
•Please be sure NOT to attach any ring-shape protector (or
other accessory) to your discs. Those protectors are
commercially available and said to protect disc and to improve
sound quality (and antivibration effect), but they can do more
harm than good in regular uses. The most common problems
are insert/Eject related problems and "No playback" problems
due to the protector ring that come off in the disc mechanism.
