CAUTIONS:
• Do not insert 8cm (3 3/16") CDs (single CDs)
into the loading slot. (Such CDs cannot be
ejected.)
• Do not insert any CD of unusual shape – like a
heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a
malfunction.
• Do not expose CDs 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 CDs.

Handling CDs

This unit has been designed to reproduce the
CDs bearing the following marks.
You can play back your original CD-Rs
(Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) on this
receiver.
This unit is not compatible with MP3.

How to handle CDs

When removing a CD from
its case, press down the center
holder of the case and lift the
CD out, holding it by the edges.
• Always hold the CD by the edges. Do not touch
its recording surface.
When storing a CD into its case, gently insert
the CD around the center holder
(with the printed surface facing up).
• Make sure to store CDs into the cases after
use.

To keep CDs clean

A dirty CD may not play
correctly. If a CD does
become dirty, wipe it with a
soft cloth in a straight line
from center to edge.

To play new CDs

New CDs may have some
rough spots around the inner
and outer edges. If such a CD
is used, this unit may reject
the CD.
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 CD, but will be annoying.
We recommend that you stop CD play while
driving on such rough roads.

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 CD and leave
the unit turned on for a few hours until the
moisture evaporates.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs
(Rewritable) can be played back only if they are
already “finalized.”
• You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-
RWs recorded in music CD format. (However,
they may not be played back depending on
their characteristics or recording conditions.)
• 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.)
