Maintenance
How to clean the connectors
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors.
To minimize this possibility periodically wipe the
connectors with a cotton swab or cloth moistened with
alcohol being careful not to damage the connectors.
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.
How to handle discs
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.
Center holder
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.
• Do not use any solvent (for example conventional
record cleaner spray thinner benzine etc.) to clean
discs.
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.
Warped disc
Sticker Sticker residue
Stick-on label
Do not use the following discs:

• MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words “file” and “track” are
used interchangeably) are recorded in “folders.”
• While fast forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or
WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• Use only “finalized” CD Rs or CD RWs.
• This unit can play back only files of the same type
which are first detected if a disc includes both audio
CD (CD DA) files and MP3/WMA files.
• This unit can play back multi session discs; however,
unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.
• Some CD Rs or CD RWs may not be played back on
this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for
the following reasons:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside
the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– CD R/CD RW on which the files are written with
“Packet Write” method.
– There are improper recording conditions (missing
data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched,
warped, etc.).
• CD RWs may require a longer readout time since the
reflectance of CD RWs is lower than that of regular
CDs.
• Do not use the following CD Rs or CD RWs:
– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal stuck
to the surface.
– Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an
ink jet printer.
Using these discs under high temperatures or high
humidities may cause malfunctions or damage to the
unit.
Playing an MP3/WMA disc
• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files with the
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of
the letter case—upper/lower).
• This unit can show the names of albums, artists
(performer), and Tag (Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or
2.4) for MP3 files and for WMA files.

ymptoms Remedies/Causes
General
• Sound cannot be heard from the speakers. • Adjust the volume to the optimum level.
• Check the cords and connections.
• The unit does not work at all. Reset the unit (see page 2).
FM/AM
• SSM automatic presetting does not work. Store stations manually.
• Static noise while listening to the radio. Connect the antenna firmly.
Disc playback
• Disc cannot be played back. Insert the disc correctly.
• CD R/CD RW cannot be played back.
• Tracks on the CD R/CD RW cannot be
skipped.
• Insert a finalized CD R/CD RW.
•
Finalize the CD R/CD RW with the component which you
used for recording.
• Disc can neither be played back nor ejected. • Unlock the disc (see page 9).
• Eject the disc forcibly (see page 2).
• Disc sound is sometimes interrupted. • Stop playback while driving on rough roads.
• Change the disc.
• Check the cords and connections.
• “NO DISC” appears on the display. Insert a playable disc into the loading slot.
MP3/WMA playback
• Disc cannot be played back. • Use a disc with MP3/WMA tracks recorded in the
format compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2,
Romeo, or Joliet.
• Add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to the
file names.
• Noise is generated. Skip to another track or change the disc. (Do not add the
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to non MP3 or
WMA tracks.)
• A longer readout time is required (“CHECK”
keeps flashing on the display).
Do not use too many hierarchies and folders.
• Tracks are not played back in the order you
have intended.
Playback order is determined when the files are recorded.
• Elapsed playing time is not correct. This sometimes occurs during play. This is caused by how
the tracks are recorded on the disc.

the display.
Insert a disc that contains MP3/WMA tracks.
