How to handle CDs
DIGITAL AUDIO

• 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
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 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 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.
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.
