CAUTIONS DURING PLAYBACK

Playing a CD while driving on a very bumpy road may result in
skips. This will not scratch the CD or damage the player.
The noise level on CDs is much lower than on analog-type
records or tapes. Therefore, before playing a CD, turn the volume
down all the way then adjust the level by gradually turning the vol­ume up once playback begins. Do not turn the volume up too
abruptly as this could damage the speakers.

COMPACT DISC TYPE

Only compact discs containing the
mark shown can be used.

TEMPERATURE IN THE
VEHICLE

In order to ensure proper perfor­mance, be sure the temperature
in your vehicle is between –10°C
and 60°C before turning your
player on. Good air circulation is
essential to prevent heat build-up
in the unit (especially in hot
weather).

PROPER HANDLING

Handle CDs as shown. Do not drop CDs.
Hold CDs so you will not leave fingerprints on the surface. If the
surface is scratched, it may cause the pickup to skip signal tracks.
Do not put tape, paper, or gummed labels on the CD. Do not write
on the CD.

-

KEEP YOUR CDS CLEAN

Fingerprints, dust or soil on the surface could cause the pickup to
skip signal tracks. For routine cleaning, wipe the playing surface
with a clean, soft, dry cloth from the center of the CD to the outer
edge. If the surface is heavily soiled, dampen a clean soft cloth in
a solution of mild neutral detergent before cleaning the CD.

-

DAMAGED CDS

Do not attempt to play cracked, warped, or otherwise damaged
CDs. Playing a bad CD could severely damage the playback
mechanism.

-

STORAGE

When not in use, place your CDs in their individual cases and
store them in a cool place away from the sun, heat, and dust.

NEVER ATTEMPT THE FOLLOWING

Do not grip or pull out the CD while it is being pulled back into the
player by the automatic reloading mechanism.

-

CAUTION FOR NEW CDS

When a new CD is inserted into the player, the CD may fail to play
after initial loading. This is caused by small bumps around the
center hole and outside of CD that prevent proper loading.
To remove the bumps, rub the inside edge of the hole and outside
edge of the CD with a ball-point pen or other such instrument,
then insert the CD again.
NOTE:
The mechanism automatically prevents a CD with this problem
from playing as a protective measure. This is not an indication of
faulty operation.
