NOTE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION
•This unit is designed to operate on 12 volts DC, NEGATIVE ground electrical systems only.
•When fuse replacement is necessary, use only a 15 amp fuse. Do not replace with a higher rated fuse.
If the fuse blows often, carefully check all electrical connections for any short circuits and have your
car's voltage regulator checked also.
•Do not install the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or hot air discharged from the car heater.
•Do not expose the unit to water or moisture.

•This unit should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except qualified service personnel.
If servicing is required, return the unit to an authorized SANYO mobile audio dealer.

COMPACT DISC CARE
Dirt, dust, scratches and warpage can cause a deterioration in the sound or intermittent skipping some tracks
during play.
•This unit has been designed to play compact discs
bearing the identification logo shown on the left.
Discs bearing other types of identification logos
may not play properly.
•Playback may not be possible due to the
characteristics of the CD recorder or the CD-R/RW
used, or due to scratches or dirt on the CD.
•For some CD-R/RWs, depending on the quality
of their recording or storage media used, playback
may not be possible due to deterioration of
recorded of material.
L
abel Side
•Do not use non-conventional discs such as
heart-shaped, octagonal discs, etc.
The player could be damaged.
•Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped
from 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 disc.
•To prevent warping the disc, do not expose it to
direct sunlight, high humidity or high temperatures
for extended periods.

Benzene Thinner Cleaning spray
•Never use chemicals such as record cleaning
sprays, antistatic sprays or fluids, benzene 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, remove the compact disc and return it to
the plastic storage case. This will protect the disc
from dust and exposure to the sun.
•Mixed-mode CDs
This product can only play audio tracks on mixed-mode CDs.
The initial track contains non-audio data, and so it does not produce any sound.
Playback will start from the next track.
(Mixed-mode CDs are CDs which contain both non-audio data and audio tracks.)
•CDs containing copy control protection technology.
It is possible that some CDs with copy control protection (added to prevent computer
duplication) may not play on this unit.
This is due to the CD with copy control protection not conforming to CD standards and is
not due to a malfunction of this unit.
If there are any problems playing a CD with copy control protection, consult the store where
the CD was purchased.
