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 solvents (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.
Do not use the following discs:
Single CD (8 cm disc) Warped disc
Sticker and sticker
residue Stick-on label
Unusual shape
C-thru Disc
(semitransparent
disc)
Transparent or
semitransparent
parts on its recording
area
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
has evaporated.
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 in its case, gently insert

Caution for DualDisc playback
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not
comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio”
standard. Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side
of a DualDisc on this product may not be
recommended.
General
• This unit has been designed to reproduce
CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-
RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3
and WMA formats.
• If you change the source while listening to a
disc, playback stops. Next time you select “CD”
as the playback source, playback will start
from where it had been stopped previously.
• When a disc is inserted upside down, “PLEASE”
and “EJECT” appear alternately on the display.
Press 0 to eject the disc.
• If the ejected disc is not removed within
15 seconds, it is automatically inserted into
the loading slot again to protect it from dust.
Playback starts automatically.
• 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 only play back files of the same
type as those detected first 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 play back on
this unit because of their disc characteristics,
or for the following reasons:
–Discs are dirty or scratched.
–Moisture condensation has occurred on the
lens inside the unit.
–The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
–The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written
using the “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.
