1. When it is very cold in the boat and the unit is
used soon after switching on the heater, the
disc and the optical components may become
fogged and not operate properly. Wipe fogged
discs with a soft cloth. Fogged optical
components will naturally return to normal
when the unit is left for about one hour, after
which it will operate normally.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to consult the dealer or
an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

2. When the boat is underway in rough water the
CD may skip as a result of intense vibrations
and shock.

3. This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even
in the event that trouble arises, never open
the case, disassemble the unit, or lubricate
the rotating parts.

Handling Compact Discs

English

Use only compact discs bearing the

mark.

Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other
specially shaped compact discs.

Some CDs recorded in CD-R/CD-RW mode
may not be usable.

Handling

•

Compared to ordinary music CDs, CD-R and
CD-RW discs are easily affected by high
temperature and humidity. Prolonged exposure
to high heat and humidity may make the discs
unplayable. Therefore, do not leave them for a
long time in the boat.

• New discs may have
rough edges. If such
discs are used, the
player may not work,
or the sound may
skip. Use a ball-point
pen or the like to
remove any
roughness from the edge of the disc.

•

Never stick labels on the surface of the compact
disc or mark the surface with a pencil or pen.

• Never play a compact disc with any
cellophane tape or other glue on it or with
peeling off marks. If you try to play such a
compact disc, you may not be able to get it
back out of the CD player or it may damage
the CD player.

•

To remove a compact disc from its storage case,
press down on the center of the case and lift the
disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

• Do not use commercially available CD
protection sheets or discs equipped with
stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc or
cause breakdown of the internal mechanism.

Storage

• Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight
or any heat source.

• Do not expose compact discs to excess
humidity or dust.

• Do not expose compact discs to direct heat
from heaters.

Cleaning

• To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft
cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center
of the compact disc to the circumference.

• Do not use any solvents, such as commercially
available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner
to clean compact discs.

• After using special compact disc cleaner, let
the compact disc dry off well before playing it.

5. Strong impacts to the operating or display

section can cause damage or deformation.

6. If the front panel does not open fully, gently
