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.

Flip Down Panel

PRECAUTIONS

English

This unit 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 this unit with the FLIP DOWN PANEL closed.

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.

Ball-point pen

Roughness

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 the [OPEN] button.

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.

• 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.

WARNING

• 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.
