Handling Compact Discs

Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched or warped can cause the sound to skip and the unit to operate incorrectly, resulting in worsened sound quality. Take the following precautions to prevent your CDs from getting scratched or damaged.

Handling CDs

¥Do not touch the recorded side of the CD (the side opposite the label) when holding it.

¥The reflective film on a CD-R or a CD-RW is more fragile than that on an ordinary music CD, and may peel off if scratched. Fingerprints on a CD-R or CDRW are also more likely to cause skipping when the disc is played. For these reasons, handle the disc very carefully. Detailed handling instructions will appear on the CD-R or CD-RW package: read this information carefully before using the disc.

¥Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.

Tape

Storing CDs

¥Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct sunlight (such as a car seat or the dashboard) or other hot places.

¥A CD-R or CD-RW is more susceptible than a

music CD to damage from high temperatures and humidity, and in some cases, may become unusable if left in the car for long periods of time.

¥Remove CDs from the unit when not listening to them for a while, and put them back in their cases. Do not pile up CDs that are removed from their cases or prop them against something.

Cleaning CDs

If a CD has gotten dirty, wipe it off gently using a commercially available cleaning cloth or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the center of the disc and moving outward. Do not clean CDs with conventional record cleaners, anti-static formulas, or chemicals such as paint thinner or benzene.

Checking New CDs for Burrs

When playing a new CD for the first time, check that there are not any burrs stuck to the perimeter of the disc or in the central hole. CDs with burrs stuck on them may not load properly or may skip while playing. Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a similar utensil.

Burrs

Burrs

Do Not Load CD Accessories

Do not use commercially available CD accessories that can be loaded into the CD slot, such as stabilizers, protective sheets, or CD cleaning discs, since they can cause the unit to malfunction.

2CAUTION

Do Not Use Special Shape CDs

¥Be sure to use round shape CDs only for this unit and do not use any special shape CDs. Use of special shape CDs may cause the unit to malfunction.

¥ This unit can only play the CDs with

.

It may not correctly play disks which do not have the mark.

¥CD-Rs and CD-RWs which have not undergone finalization processing cannot be played. (For more information on finalization processing, refer to the manual for your CD-R/CD-RW writing software or CD-R/CD-RW recorder.) Additionally, depending on the recording status, it may prove impossible to play certain CDs recorded on CD-R or CD-RW.

Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the Labeled Side

Do not use the CD with the label sticker stuck on it.

Using such a CD may cause the CD to be deformed and the sticker to peel off, resulting in malfunction of the unit.

Manipulation des disques compacts

La reproduction d'un CD sale, rayŽ ou gondolŽ peut •tre la cause d'un son qui saute et d'un mauvais fonctionnement provoquant une qualitŽ sonore de plus en plus mauvaise. Prenez les prŽcautions suivantes pour Žviter de rayer ou d'endommager vos CD.

Manipulation des CD

¥Ne touchez pas la face enregistrŽe du CD (la face opposŽe ˆ la face imprimŽe) quand vous le prenez.

¥Le film rŽflŽchissant sur un CD-R ou un CD-RW est plus fragile que celui sur un CD musical ordinaire et risque de se dŽtacher sÕil est rayŽ. Des traces de doigt sur un CD-R ou CD-RW peuvent Žgalement provoquer un sautillement du disque lors de sa lecture. Pour cette raison, manipulez soigneusement le disque.

Des instructions de manipulation dŽtaillŽes figurent sur lÕemballage du CD-R ou CD-RW: lisez attentivement cette information avant dÕutiliser le disque.

¥Ne collez pas de ruban adhŽsif sur aucune des faces du CD.

Ruban adhŽsif

Rangement des CD

¥Ne rangez pas les CD dans un endroit directement exposŽ ˆ la lumi•re du soleil Ñcomme sur le si•ge d'une voiture ou son tableau de bordÑ ou dans d'autres endroits chauds.

¥Un CD-R ou CD-RW est plus susceptible dÕ•tre

endommagŽ par des tempŽratures ŽlevŽes et un haut degrŽ dÔhumiditŽ quÕun CD musical, et dans certains cas, il peut devenir inutilisable sÕil est laissŽ ˆ lÕintŽrieur dÕun vŽhicule pendant de longues pŽriodes.

¥Retirez les CD de l'appareil quand vous ne les Žcoutez pas et remettez les dans leur bo”te. N'empilez pas des CD qui ont ŽtŽ retirŽs de leur bo”te et ne les posez pas contre quelque chose.

Nettoyage des CD

Si un CD devient sale, essuyez-le dŽlicatement en utilisant un tissu de nettoyage disponible dans le commerce ou un tissu en coton doux, en commen•ant du centre du disque et en allant vers l'extŽrieur. Ne nettoyez pas les CD avec un nettoyant conventionnel pour disque analogique, de type antistatique ou chimique comme un diluant ˆ peinture ou du benzine.

Recherche de bavures sur les nouveaux CD

Lors de la reproduction d'un nouveau CD pour la premi•re fois, vŽrifiez qu'il n'y a aucunes bavures collŽes sur le pŽrim•tre du disque ou sur le trou central. Les CD avec des bavures collŽes peuvent ne pas •tre chargŽs correctement ou sauter lors de la reproduction. Retirez les bavures en utilisant un stylo-bille ou un objet similaire.

Bavures

Bavures

Ne chargez pas d'accessoires de CD

N'utilisez pas d'accessoires de CD disponibles dans le commerce qui peuvent •tre introduits dans la fente ˆ CD comme des stabilisateurs, des feuilles de protection ou des disques de nettoyage de CD car ils pourraient •tre la cause d'un mauvais fonctionnement de l'appareil.

2ATTENTION

Ne pas utiliser de CD de formespŽciale

¥Veiller ˆ n'utiliser que des CD ronds pour cet appareil et n'utiliser jamais de CD de forme spŽciale. Cela nuirait au bon fonctionnement de l'appareil.

¥Cet appareil ne peut lire que les CD comportant

.

Il ne peut jouer les disques qui ne comportent pas la marque.

¥Les disques CD-R et CD-RW qui n'ont pas ŽtŽ mis au point ne peuvent •tre jouŽs. (Pour plus d'information sur la mise au point, rŽfŽrez-vous au manuel pour le logiciel d'inscription de CD-R / CDRW ou pour l'enregistreur de CD-R / CD-RW). En outre, dŽpendant du statut d'enregistrement, il peut s'avŽrer impossible de faire jouer certains CDs enregistrŽs sur les enregistreurs de CD-R ou de CD-RW.

Ne pas utiliser de CD avec une Žtiquette collŽe sur la face portant l'Žtiquette d'origine.

Ne pas utiliser le CD si une Žtiquette a ŽtŽ collŽe dessus.

L'utilisation d'un tel CD peut occasionner la dŽformation du CD et le dŽcollement de l'Žtiquette, ce qui rŽsulterait en un mauvais fonctionnement de l'autoradio.
