Operating precautions

• For your safety, play only at volume levels that allow outside sounds to be heard.

• We recommend using with this player a disc with the logo shown to the left.

• You can play music CDs(CD-R/CD-RW) on this player. Be sure to use discs that have been properly processed. Depending on the editing equipment used, some discs may not play properly.

• Do not insert anything other than a CD into the disc slot. 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.

• Cleaning the disc slot. The disc slot tends to get dusty. Clean it occasionally to prevent accumulated dust from scratching the discs.

Notes on operation

Operating precautions

• 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; the disc may warp. Discs should be stored in their cases and kept away from high temperature and humidity.

• Do not stick a piece of paper or tape on, nor write on or scratch either side of a disc.

• Discs spin at a high speed inside the deck. Keep cracked or warped discs out of the player to avoid damaging it.

• Avoid touching the recorded surface when handling a disc; handle discs by their edges.

About compact discs

Operating precautions

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.

About brand new CDs

• You may notice that some brand new discs are rough around the center hole or outside edge. Remove the rough edges with the side of a ballpoint pen, etc. Rough edges may prevent proper loading in the deck. Flakes from the rough edges may also stick to the recorded surface and interfere with playback.

Rough Edges

Ballpoint pen

Flakes

Recorded surface

Rough Edges

• Please be sure NOT to attach any ring-shape 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.

Operating precautions

About borrowed CDs

• Do not use a CD with glue or remnants of adhesive tape or labels. They may cause the CD to get stuck inside or damage the deck.

How to remove CDs

• When removing the ejected disc, pull it straight out along the slot. Pressing downward in the process may scratch the recorded surface of the disc.

OKAY

NO GOOD

About irregularly-shaped CDs

• Specially-shaped CDs, like heart-shaped or octagonal CDs, cannot be played. Do not attempt to play them, even with an adapter, since they may damage the player.

• Use a commercially available compact disc cleaner to clean a CD, wiping lightly from the center to the edge.

• Do not use benzine, thinner, LP record spray or other cleaners on CDs. They may damage a CD’s finish.

ESN security operating procedure

About ESN

This deck incorporates ESN (ECLIPSE Security Network). The ESN is a security system which disables all deck functions when the power is restored if the deck is stolen from the vehicle. Turning the power of the deck off or switching the vehicle's ignition switch off activates the security feature. Setting or canceling of the security feature can be done with a "Key CD". It is necessary to register an music CD as the "Key CD" in advance.

ESN security operating procedure

•If there is a problem with the inserted CD, an [ERR] message will appear for two seconds and the CD will be ejected. Reinsert the ejected CD.

•If a CD causes the [ERR] message to appear twice in a row, a [CHANGE] message will appear for two seconds. Try another CD.

•The Security indicator will flash whenever the vehicle’s ignition is switched off.

If a CD has already been inserted, a [SEC] message appears, and then the CD is ejected.
