MAINTENANCE
Handling discs
This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs
and CD-Rs (Recordable).
•This unit is not compatible with MP3 discs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Center holder
When playing a CD-R
Before playing back CD-Rs, read their
instructions or cautions carefully.
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs.
• Some CD-Rs may not play back on this unit
because of their disc characteristics, and for
the following reasons:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation on the lens inside
the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
• CD-Rs are susceptible to high temperatures or
high humidity, so do not leave them inside
your car.
• Do not use following CD-Rs:
– 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 humidity may cause malfunctions or damage
to discs For example,
– Stickers or labels may shrink and warp a disc.
– Stickers or lables may peel off so discs
cannot be ejected.
– Print on discs may get sticky.
Read instructions or cautions about labels and
printable discs carefully.
• CD-RWs (Rewritable) cannot be played back
on this unit.
CAUTIONS:
• Do not insert 8 cm (3 3/16") discs (single CDs)
into the loading slot. (Such discs cannot be
ejected.)
• Do not insert any disc of unusual shape — like a
heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a
malfunction.
• Do not expose discs 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 discs.
