Do not insert any foreign objects, such as coins or credit
cards, into the disc slot. Be especially watchful of
children’s mischief in this regard.
● Avoid severe mechanical shock.
When the player is subjected to severe vibration while
traveling over a rough surface, playback may be
intermittent. When a situation like this occurs, resume
playback after returning to a smoother road.
● About dew condensation.
In cold or rainy weather, just as the interior glass surface
gets fogged, dew (water condensation) may also settle
on the deck. When this occurs, disc playback may
become intermittent or impossible. Dehumidify the air in
the vehicle for a while before resuming playback.

The disc slot tends to get dusty. Clean it occasionally to
prevent accumulated dust from scratching the discs.
● With the front panel open, many functions will not
operate, therefore, the front panel will need to be closed
during operation.
About compact discs
● The signal recorded on a compact disc is read by a laser beam, so nothing
touches the disc surface. A scratch on the recorded surface or a badly warped
disc may cause deteriorated sound quality or intermittent playback. Observe the
following precautions to ensure high quality sound performance:
● Do not leave an ejected disc in the disc slot for very long;

About CD accessories
● Do not use accessories
(stabilizers, protective seals, laser
lens cleaners, etc.) sold for
"improving sound performance" or
"protecting CDs." The changes in CD
thickness or outside dimensions
made by these accessories may
cause problems in the player.
●
Please be sure NOT to attach any ringshape protector (or other accessory) to
your discs. Those protectors are
commercially available and said to
protect disc and to improve sound
quality (and antivibration effect), but
they can do more harm than good in
regular uses. The most common
problems are disc insertion, disc
ejections, and won't play problems due
to the protector ring that came off in the
disc mechanism.
