1.	This unit does not operate independently. The unit must be used with a source unit that has a cable connec-
	tion for CeNET wire bound (sold separately).
2.	CD singles cannot be used.
3.	● The pickup, the heart of a player, is built in deep behind the door. Do not leave this door open for extended
	periods to prevent dust adhering to the pickup.
	● When the inside of the car is very cold and the player is used soon after switching on the heater, dew may
	form on the disc or optical parts of the player and proper playback may not be possible. If dew forms on the
	disc, wipe it with a soft cloth. If dew forms on the optical parts of the player do not use the player for about
	one hour and the condensation will disappear naturally to allow normal operation.
