2. PRECA UTIONS

Ball-point pen

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.

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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

Flip Down Panel

The RDX755Dz uses a flip-down structure that makes possible large-size displays.

CAUTION

When opening and closing the FLIP DOWN
PANEL, be careful not to catch your fingers.
They could be injured.

1. Always use the RDX755Dz with the FLIP
DOWN PANEL closed.

2. Do not force operations or use this device
abnormally when opening or closing the FLIP
DOWN PANEL.

3. Do not use the FLIP DOWN PANEL as a tray
to place objects on when it is open.

4. When closing the FLIP DOWN PANEL, do not
press OPEN button 1.

5. Strong impacts to the operating or display
section can cause damage or deformation.

6. If the FLIP DOWN PANEL does not open fully,
gently open it with your hand.

Attaching the DCP

1. Insert the right side of the DCP into the source
unit.

2. Insert the left side of the DCP into the source
unit.

CAUTION

• The DCP can easily be damaged by shocks.

After removing it, be careful not to drop it
or subject it to strong shocks.

• If the FLIP DOWN PANEL is kept open, the

DCP may drop due to vibration of the car.
This results in damage to the DCP . So close

the FLIP DOWN PANEL or remove the DCP
to store into the case.

• The connector connecting the source unit

and the DCP is an extremely important part.
Be careful not to damage it by pressing on
it with fingernails, screwdrivers, etc.

Note:

• If the DCP is dirty, wipe off the dirt with a soft, dry

cloth only.

HOLD FLAP

Be sure to close the HOLD FLAP for safety
when removing the DCP.
