1. PRECAUTIONS
1. When the inside of the car is very cold and
the player is used soon after switching on the
heater, moisture may form on the disc or the
optical parts of the player and proper play¬
back may not be possible. If moisture forms
on the disc, wipe it off with a soft cloth. If
moisture 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.
2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which
cause severe vibration may cause the sound
to skip.
3. This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even
in the event that trouble arises, never open
the case, disassemble the unit, or lubricate
the rotating parts.
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 16 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a resi¬
dential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encour¬
aged to consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
USE OF CONTROLS, ADJUSTMENTS, OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN
THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN, MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
THE COMPACT DISC PLAYER SHOULD NOT BE ADJUSTED OR REPAIRED BY ANYONE
EXCEPT PROPERLY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

4. HANDLING COMPACT DISCS
This unit has been designed specifically for
reproduction of compact discs bearing the
mark. No other discs can be played.
To remove the compact disc from its storage
case, press down on the center of the case and
lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
Removing the disc Proper way to hold
Always handle the compact disc by the edges.
Never touch the surface.
To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft
cloth, and wipe in a straight line from the center
of the compact disc to the circumference.
New discs may have some roughness around
the edges. The set may not work or the sound
may skip if such discs are used. Use a ball-point
pen, etc. to remove roughness from the edge of
the disc.
Note on Compact Discs
Never stick labels on the surface of the compact
disc or mark the surface with a pencil or pen.
Do not use any solvents such as commercially
available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner to
clean compact discs.
Do not use compact discs that have large
scratches, are misshapen, or cracked, etc. Use
of such discs will cause misoperation or damage.
Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight
or any heat source.
Note:
Do not use commercially available CD protection sheets or discs equipped with stabilizers, etc. These
may get caught in the internal mechanism and damage the disc.

7. FM RECEPTION
mnGiTUNEia® tuner
Understanding the Difficulties of
FM Reception in Your Car
FM radio waves are transmitted in the very high
frequency range (VHF). These waves move in
straight lines, much like light. Tall buildings, hills
and mountains, or other obstructions may cause
“shadows” or loss of signal, noted by a momen¬
tary “hissing” noise in the reception.
These obstructions found in day-to-day urban
travel can reflect or bounce the signal. When
reflected and direct signals arrive at the radio’s
antenna together, a similar noise problem may
occur, called multi-path interference.
In addition, the vehicle itself can be the culprit,
creating various types of impulse noise (usually
associated with the vehicle’s ignition and/or
other parts of the electrical system), which again
will deteriorate signal quality.
The mflGITUNEH® AM/FM Tuner
IffiGl'TUNEQ® combines both AM and FM
tuners into one small, unique package. The
design incorporates many advanced technolo¬
gies exclusively engineered to improve FM and
AM performance.
Signal Actuated Stereo Control
(SASC)
In weak signal conditions, the SASC circuit will
provide optimum, low noise reception. As the
signal weakens, stereo separation is smoothly
converted to a monaural signal with a gradual
“cut-back” on high frequency reproduction, mini¬
mizing “hiss” and noise.
FM Impulse Noise Canceller (Clean
Z1)
To deal with radiated RF energy noise (usually
caused by the vehicle’s ignition system), Clarion
devised the Clean Z1 - a circuit that attacks
impulse noise at its source. It is not to be con¬
fused with a simple series filter. Instead it is a
highly discriminating circuit that identifies and
eliminates noise components in an FM source
while still preserving the overall integrity of the
signal.
Balanced Mixer FM Front-End -
Dual-Gate FET
The balanced mixer pre-amp section is designed
to provide a uniform signal to the tuner - creat¬
ing the best possible noise-free reception. A
variable gain stage automatically controls the
amplitude of the signal according to the incom¬
ing signal strength. As the signal deteriorates or
weakens, the gain is “increased” to ensure the
highest quality signal with the least amount of
noise. When signal strength becomes very
strong, the gain is reduced, avoiding unneces¬
sary distortion.
Triple Stage Narrow Band IF Filters
The new triple stage IF and ceramic filter system
enables the tuner to “focus” on the selected fre¬
quency - ignoring stronger or nearer stations to
prevent frequency “hopping”. With this type of
narrow band filtering, the selectivity of the tuner
can be increased.
Six Diode 1C in the AM Section
Typically, in the design stage of most tuners, the
AM section receives the least emphasis.
However, Clarion realizes the importance of the
AM tuner. Our use of a new 6-diode 1C greatly
enhances AM performance by reducing distor¬
tion and improving the overall sensitivity of the
tuner.

duced.)
The compact disc does not
enter.
The fuse has blown.
Replace the fuse with one of the same rating.
If the fuse blows again, contact your store of
purchase.
Wiring is incomplete.
Read the attached “Installation/Wire Connec¬
tion Guide” once again and wire properly.
There is already a compact
disc inside the disc inser¬
tion slot.
Eject the compact disc and then insert
another one.
The compact disc soon
comes out again.
The compact disc has been
inserted upside down.
Insert the compact disc with the labeled side
facing up.
Sound skipping noise and
other noise are heard.
The compact disc is dirty. Wipe the compact disc with a soft cloth.
The compact disc is
severely scratched or
warped.
Replace the compact disc with one that is in
good condition.
The sound is poor imme¬
diately after switching on
the power.
When the car is parked in a
humid place, dew might
form on the internal lens.
Turn the unit on and wait for about 1 hour
before operating.
Nothing happens when but¬
tons are pressed.
Display is not accurate.
Microprocessor has mal¬
functioned due to noise,
etc.
