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.
• To avoid damaging the unit, never insert anything other than a compact disc into the disc slot.
• 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.
• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Sanyo may void the user's authority to operate

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.

Install a lithium battery (CR2025) with the poles facing the correct direction.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT TIMING
When battery power is depleted, the buttons may not be operable.
If the remote controller does not operate, replace the battery and check the operation.
CAUTIONS REGARDING BATTERY
Be sure to follow the instructions to prevent battery leakage, over-heating, ignition, or explosion.
If battery leakage has occurred, wipe the container first, then install a new battery. If the battery solution
contacts the skin, wash off with water completely.
CAUTIONS REGARDING REMOTE CONTROLLER
•Do not leave the remote controller in an area exposed to direct sunlight, such as on the dashboard or
steering wheel. The remote controller may deform because of the heat. (Be especially careful of the
dashboard exposed to direct sunlight in the summer, as it will become extremely hot.)
•When the vehicle is parked in an area exposed to direct sunlight, remove the remote controller from its
holder and put it in a shaded spot such as the glove box.
•Under direct sunlight, signal reception from the remote controller becomes weakens. If this happens, hold
the remote controller close to the signal receptor on the front panel.
Positive pole faces upward.
•Do not expose the battery to flame. Do not short circuit, disassemble, or heat the battery.
•Do not charge the battery.
•Use the specified type battery.
•Keep the button-shaped battery away from children to prevent accidental swallowing.
•If the battery is swallowed, contact a doctor immediately.
WARNING
•Install the battery with the poles facing the correct direction.
•When not in use for a long period of time, or if the battery is dead, remove the battery from
the remote controller.
