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

How to handle discs
When remo ing 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.
• Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional
record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean
discs.
Center holder

Disc
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.
• When a disc is inserted upside down, “PLEASE” and
“EJECT” appear alternately on the display. Press 0 to
eject the disc.
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or
WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.
More about this unit
E ecting a disc
• If the ejected disc is not removed within 15 seconds,
the disc is automatically inserted again into the
loading slot to protect it from dust. Playbac starts
automatically.
• After ejecting a disc, “NO DISC” appears and you
cannot operate some of the buttons. Insert another
disc or press SOURCE to select another playbac
source.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can play bac 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 bac multi-session discs; however,
unclosed sessions will be s ipped while playing.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play bac 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 pic up lens inside the unit is dirty.
– CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are written with
“Pac et 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 stic ers, labels, or a protective seal stuc
to the surface.
– Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an
in jet printer.
Using these discs under high temperatures or high
