weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes
normal before operating the unit.
Caution on volume setting:
Discs produce very little noise compared with other
sources. Lower the volume before playing a disc to
avoid damaging the speakers by the sudden increase of
the output level.

Symptoms Remedies/Causes
MP3/WMA playback
• Disc cannot be played back. • Use a disc with MP3/WMA tracks recorded in a 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.)
• Tracks do not play back in the order you
have intended them to play.
The playback order is determined when the files are
recorded.
• The elapsed playing time is not correct. This sometimes occurs during playback. This is caused by
how the tracks are recorded on the disc.
• The correct characters are not displayed
(e.g. album name).
This unit can only display letters (upper case), numbers,
and a limited number of symbols.

How to clean the connectors
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors.
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe the

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.

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

case, press down the center holder
of the case and lift the disc out,
holding it by the edges.

To keep discs clean
A dirty disc may not play correctly.
If a disc does become dirty, wipe it with

• 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.
