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.
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 communica
tions. 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. When the boat is underway in rough water the
sound 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.

Always handle the compact disc by the edges.
Never touch the surface.
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.
New discs may have some roughness around
the edges. The unit may not work or the sound
may skip if such discs are used. Use a ball-point
pen, etc. to remove roughness from the edge of
the disc.
Note on compact discs
Never stick labels on the surface of the compact
disc or mark the surface with a pencil or pen.
Do not use any solvents such as commercially
available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner to
clean compact discs.
Do not use compact discs that have large scratch
es, are misshapen, or cracked, etc. Use of such
discs will cause misoperation or damage.
-
Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight or
any heat source.
Note:
Do not use commercially available CD protection sheets or discs equipped with stabilizers, etc. These may
get caught in the internal mechanism and damage the disc.

CD/MP3/WMA Mode Operations
What is MP3?
MP3 is an audio compression method and classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards. This
audio compression method has penetrated into
PC users and become a standard format. This
MP3 features the original audio data compression to about 12 percent of its initial size with a
high quality sound. This means that about 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.
What is WMA?
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Audio, an audio file format developed by Microsoft
Corporation.
