Roughness
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.

• Never stick labels on the surf ace 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
