Maintenance
How to clean the connectors
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors.
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe the
connectors with a cotton swab or cloth moistened with
alcohol, being careful not to damage the connectors.
Connector
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in
the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this
case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a
few hours until the moisture evaporates.
How to handle discs
When removing a disc from its
case, press down the center holder
of the case and lift the disc out,
holding it by the edges.
• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not touch its
recording surface.
When storing a disc into its case, gently insert the

facing up).
• Make sure to store discs into the cases after use.
Center holder
To keep discs clean
A dirty disc may not play correctly.
If a disc does become dirty, wipe it with
a soft cloth in a straight line from center
to edge.
• Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional
record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean
discs.
To play new discs
New discs may have some rough spots
around the inner and outer edges. If
such a disc is used, this unit may reject
the disc.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a
pencil or ball-point pen, etc.
Do not use the following discs:
Warped disc

FM/AM/RDS
Storing stations in memory
• During SSM search...
– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest
frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).
– When SSM is over, the station stored in No. 1 will
be automatically tuned in.
• When storing stations, the previously preset stations
are erased and stations are stored newly.
FM RDS operations
• Network-Tracking Reception requires two types of
RDS signals—PI (Programme Identification) and AF
(Alternative Frequency) to work correctly. Without
receiving these data correctly, Network-Tracking
Reception will not operate correctly.
• If a Traffic Announcement is received by TA Standby
Reception, the volume level automatically changes to
the preset level (TA VOL) if the current level is lower
than the preset level.
• TA Standby Reception and PTY Standby Reception
will be temporarily canceled while listening to an AM
station.
• When Alternative Frequency Reception is activated
(with AF selected), Network-Tracking Reception is
also activated automatically. On the other hand,
Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated
without deactivating Alternative Frequency
Reception. (See pages 27 and 28.)

About sounds reproduced through the rear terminals
• Through the analog terminals (Speaker out/LINE OUT): 2-channel signal is emitted. When playing
a multi-channel encoded disc, multi-channel signals are downmixed. DTS sound cannot be reproduced.
(AUDIO—DOWN MIX: see page 30.)
• Through DIGITAL OUT (optical):
Digital signals (Linear PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG Audio) are emitted through this terminal. (For more
details, see table below.)
To reproduce multi-channel sounds such as Dolby Digital, DTS, and MPEG Audio, connect an amplifier or a
decoder compatible with these multi-channel sources to this terminal, and set “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT”
correctly. (See page 30.)
Output signals through the DIGITAL OUT terminal
Output signals are different depending on the “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” setting on the setup menu (see page
