English
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.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
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. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause
severe vibration may cause the sound to skip.
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
Use only compact discs bearing the or
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 both easily affected by high
temperature and humidity and some of CD-R
and CD-RW discs may not be played. Therefore,
do not leave them for a long time in the car.
• 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.
•
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.
Ball-point pen
Roughness
•
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.

10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc
or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time
without having to change CDs.

About the 2-ZONE function
The 2-ZONE function is a function that outputs
separate sounds from the MAIN zone and SUB
zone by simultaneously operating two sources in the
one center unit, thereby allowing plural listeners to
enjoy separate music sources.
This unit can control its internal sources (radio, CD,
MP3, etc.) to play back them, and further, can simultaneously play back sources from external equipment connected via CeNET (for instance, CD
changers etc.).
The sources of the MAIN zone are played back
from the speakers of the vehicle side, and those
of the SUB zone are from the headphone systems (WH104/WH204).
Notes:
• Except AUX, the MAIN and SUB zones cannot simultaneously use sources inside this unit.
Also, external equipment connected via CeNET
cannot simultaneously be used.
• The TV mode while the 2-ZONE function is tuned
on is forced to change to “VTR playback.”
• The ISR function cannot be operated when the 2ZONE function is turned on.
