•To prevent warping the disc, do not expose
it to direct sunlight, high humidity or high tem-
peratures for extended periods of time.
•Fingerprints and dust should be carefully
wiped off the signal surface of the disc
(glossy side) with a soft cloth.
Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to
the outside of the disc. Unlike conventional
records, the compact disc has no grooves to
collect dust and debris. Small dust particles
will have no effect on reproduction quality.
•Do not insert a disc which is cracked into the
unit.
•Do not apply paper or write anything on the
surface of the disc.
•Do not use non-conventional discs such as
heart- shaped, octagonal discs, etc.
The player could be damaged.
Benzene Thinner Cleaning spray
•Never use chemicals such as record clean-
ing sprays, antistatic sprays or fluids, ben-
zene or thinner to clean compact discs.
These chemicals will permanently damage
the plastic surface of the disc.
•When not using the disc player for extended
periods of time, remove the compact disc and
return it to the plastic storage case. This will
protect the disc from dust and exposure to
the sun.
•This unit has been designed to play compact
discs bearing the identification logo shown
on the left. No other discs can be played.

HINTS FOR PROPER AND SAFE OPERATION
•Condensation
Moisture can condense on the optical lens of the CD player during humid or rainy days, or after the car
heater is turned on. If this occurs the disc player may not function properly. To remedy the situation,
remove the disc from the unit and wait approximately one hour. This should allow the moisture to evapo-
rate and restore normal operation.
•Temperature Consideration
The unit may not operate correctly in extremely hot or cold temperatures. Avoid exposing the unit to
extremely high or low temperatures.
•Interruptions in the sound (skipping)
When the car is driven on very rough surfaces, the sound from the CD player may skip and be inter-
rupted. This will not cause any damage to the disc or the player. If this occurs, wait for the road surface
to improve before using the CD player.
•Safety
For safer driving, keep the volume at a moderate level to enable you to hear outside sounds (such as
emergency vehicle sirens).
•Cleaning the unit
Clean the unit with a soft, dry cloth. Stains should be removed by wiping the surfaces with a soft cloth
immersed in lukewarm water and wrung dry. Never use strong chemicals or solvents. These will damage
the finish of the unit.
•Disc care
When not using the disc player for extended periods, remove the compact disc and return it to the plastic
storage case. Do not leave a disc partially ejected from the player. If an ejected disc remains in the
loading slot for approximately 10 seconds, the player will reload the disc to prevent damage.
•Servicing
Should a problem develop, do not open the unit or try to repair it yourself. If servicing is required, bring
the unit to a Sanyo Authorized Service Center.
