Additional Information

Precautions

• If your car has been parked in direct sunlight,

allow the unit to cool off before operating it.

• Power antenna will extend automatically while the

unit is operating.

Moisture condensation

On a rainy day or in a very damp area, moisture
condensation may occur inside the lenses and
display of the unit. Should this occur, the unit will
not operate properly. In such a case, remove the disc
and wait for about an hour until the moisture has
evaporated.

To maintain high sound quality

Be careful not to splash juice or other soft drinks
onto the unit or discs.

Notes on discs

• To keep a disc clean, do not touch its surface.

Handle the disc by its edge.

• Keep your discs in their cases or disc magazines

when not in use.

• Do not subject discs to heat/high temperature.

Avoid leaving them in a parked car or on a
dashboard/rear tray.

• Do not attach labels, or use discs with sticky ink/

residue. Such discs may stop spinning when used,
causing a malfunction, or may ruin the disc.

• Do not use any discs with labels or stickers

attached.
The following malfunctions may result from using
such discs:
– Inability to eject a disc (due to a label or sticker

peeling off and jamming the eject mechanism).

– Inability to read audio data correctly (e.g.,

playback skipping, or no playback) due to heat
shrinking of a sticker or label causing a disc to
warp.

• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart,

square, star) cannot be played on this unit.
Attempting to do so may damage the unit. Do not
use such discs.

• You cannot play 8 cm (3

1

/

4

in) CDs.

• Before playing, clean the discs

with a commercially available
cleaning cloth. Wipe each disc
from the center out. Do not use
solvents such as benzine,
thinner, commercially available
cleaners, or antistatic spray
intended for analog discs.

Notes on CD-R/CD-RW discs

• Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs (depending on the

equipment used for its recording or the condition
of the disc) may not play on this unit.

• You cannot play a CD-R/a CD-RW that is not

finalized.
