Detaching the control panel

When detaching or attaching the control panel, be careful not to damage the connectors on the back of the control panel and on the panel holder.

Detaching the control panel

Before detaching the control panel, be sure to turn off the power.

Attaching the control panel

ENGLISH

Maintenance

How to clean the connectors

Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors. To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe

ENGLISH

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 CD player in the following cases:

• After starting the heater in the car.

• If it becomes very humid inside the car. Should this occur, the CD player may malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and leave the receiver turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.

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 receiver may reject the disc. To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

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 disc around the center holder (with the printed surface facing up).

• Make sure to store discs into the cases after use.

Do not use the following discs:

Warped

disc

Center holder

Sticker

Sticker residue

More about this receiver

Basic operations

Turning off the power

• If you turn off the power while listening to a disc, disc play will start from where playback has been stopped previously, next time you turn on the power.

Tuner operations

Storing stations in memory

• During SSM search...

– All previously stored stations are erased

and stations are stored newly.

– 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 a station manually, a previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.

Disc operations

Caution for DualDisc playback

• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of NonDVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.

General

• This receiver has been designed to reproduce CDs, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/ CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA) format.

• When a disc has been loaded, selecting “CD” for the playback source starts disc play.

Inserting a disc

• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc automatically ejects.

• Do not insert 8 cm (3-3/16") discs (single CD) and unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into the loading slot.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• This receiver can play back multi-session discs; however, unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this receiver because of their disc characteristics, and for the following causes:

– Discs are dirty or scratched. – Moisture condensation occurs on the lens

inside the receiver. – The pickup lens inside the receiver is dirty. – CD-R or CD-RW on which the files are

written with “Packet Write” method. – There are improper recording conditions

(missing data, etc.) or media conditions

(stain, scratch, warp, etc.).

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time

since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.

• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs: – Discs with stickers, labels, or protective

seal stuck to the surface. – Discs on which labels can be directly

printed by an ink jet printer. Using these discs under high temperatures

or high humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to discs.

Changing the source

• If you change the source, playback also stops

(without ejecting the disc).

Next time you select “CD” for the playback

source, disc play starts from where it has been stopped previously.

Ejecting a disc

• If the ejected disc is not removed within

15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted again into the loading slot to prevent it from dust. (Disc will not play this time.)

General settings—PSM

• If you change the “AMP GAIN” setting from

“HIGH PWR” to “LOW PWR” while the volume level is set higher than “VOL 30,” the receiver automatically changes the volume level to “VOL 30.”
