For safe and efficient operation
l This unit is designed to operate on + 12 volt DC negative ground electrical systems
only.
_ l According to this manual, install and operate the unit. If you are not confident in
your ability to install the unit correctly, have it installed by a proffesional mobile
electronics installation technician.
l Do not try to open the unit nor to repair it yourself. If servicing is required, return
the unit to an authorized SANYO mobile audio dealer.
l When clean out the car, be sure not to get any water on the unit because it can be
damaged.
l Never put any other object in the Disc slot. The inside of the unit is precision equip-
ment that could be damaged by any foreign objects.
l For safe driving;
Keep the sound low enough to enable you to hear outside sound when driving.
Do not exchange the CDs, adjust the volume, nor any other operation which dis-
turbs your safe drive, when driving.
l When not using the unit, do not forget to remove the CD. Do not leave the ejected
CD sitting on the edge of the unit for a long time. This can expose the CD to direct
sunlight and other causes of warping. Keep the disc away from direct sunlight.
0This unit plays an 8 cm CD just like a 12 cm CD without an adapter. Do not use an
8 cm CD Adapter. Using a 8 cm CD Adapter will result in a mal function.
l Temperature
The unit may not operate correctly in extreamely hot or cold temperature. If this
should happen, stop using the unit until1 the temperature becomes normal.
The unit is equipped with a built in self protection circuit. When the temperature
inside the unit goes above the reference temperature, the protection circuit auto-
matically stops the play and ejects the CD. In this case, open the window to cool
off the car, then start up the unit again.
l Condensation
Moisture can condense on the optical lens of the unit during rainy and humid days,
or right after the heater is turned on in the car. If this should happen, the unit can-
not read the CD and therefore cannot function properly.To remedy the situation,
remove the CD from the unit and wait until1 the condensation evaporates (approxi-
mately one hour).

l Sound skip
When you are driving on a rough road, sound may sometimes be skipped. It is
inevitable and will not cause any damage, disc scratch, e.t.c.
Handling the CDs
Dirt, dust, scratches and warpage cause sound skips during playback and a deterio-
ration of sound quality. How to take care of your discs:
n Use compact discs that have the mark shown on the right.
LimEi3
DIGITAL AUDIO
n Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s signal surface (glossy
side) with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, the compact disc has no
grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth
should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the out-
side of the disc. Small dust particles or light stains will have absolutely no effect on
reproduction quality.
n Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluids, benzine or
thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals would irreparably damage the
disc’s plastic surface.
n Disc should be put back in their cases after use to avoid serious scratches that
could cause the sound skip.
n Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures for
extended periods of time. Long exposure to high temperatures can warp the disc.
n Do not stick paper or write anything with a ball-point pen on the disc surface.
