2. PRECAUTIONS

1.When the inside of the car is very cold and the player is used soon after switching on the heater moisture may form on the disc or the optical parts of the player and proper playback may not be possible. If moisture forms on the disc, wipe it off with a soft cloth. If moisture forms on the optical parts of the player, do not use the player for about one hour. The condensation will disappear naturally allowing normal operation.

2.Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause severe vibration may cause the sound to skip.

3.When the auto antenna cord is connected to the car auto antenna cord, when the unit is switched to the radio mode (or the TV mode), the antenna is extended automatically. If the car is in a narrow space, the antenna may strike something, so be careful.

4.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

Use only compact discs bearing the mark.

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

Handling

•New discs may have some roughness around the 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.

Ball-point pen

Roughness

•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.

•Do not use compact discs that have large scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of such discs may cause misoperation or damage.

•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.
