How to handle CDs

Center holder

 

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.

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.

CAUTIONS:

Do not insert 8 cm 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.

ENGLISH

When playing a CD-R (Recordable)

You can play back your original CD-Rs on this receiver.

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

Some CD-Rs recorded on CD recorders may not be played back on this receiver because of their disc characteristics, and of the following reasons:

Discs are dirty or scratched.

Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the unit.

The pickup lens inside the CD player is dirty.

Use only “finalized” CD-Rs.

CD-RWs (Rewritable) cannot be played back on this receiver.

Do not use CD-Rs with stickers or sticking labels on the surface. They may cause malfunctions.

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.
