Handling CDs

This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs and CD Text.

• This unit is not compatible with MP3 discs.

How to handle discs

Center holder

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.

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.

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.

About mistracking:

Mistracking may result from driving on extremely rough roads. This does not damage the unit and the disc, but will be annoying.

We recommend that you stop disc playback while driving on such rough roads.

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.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in audio CD format. However, they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.

•User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized.”

•Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

•Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player’s lens is dirty.

•CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high temperatures or high humidity; so do not leave them inside your car.

•CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. (This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.)

CAUTIONS:

•Do not insert 8 cm (3-3/16") discs (single CDs) into the loading slot. (Such discs cannot be ejected.)

•Do not insert any disc of unusual shape—like a heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a malfunction.

•Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any heat source or place them in a place subject to high temperature and humidity. Do not leave them in a car.

•Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean discs.
