CARE AND CLEANING
Troubleshooting the CD
changer
The laser beam used in the
compact disc player is
harmful to the eyes. Do not
attempt to disassemble the case.
If sound skips:
²You may be traveling on a rough
road, playing badly scratched
discs or the disc may be dirty.
Skipping will not scratch the
discs or damage the player.
If changer does not work:
²A disc is already loaded where
you want to insert disc.
²The disc is inserted with the
label surface downward.
²The disc is dusty or defective.
²The player's internal
temperature is above 75ÉC
(167ÉF). Allow the player to
cool down before operating.
²A disc with format and
dimensions not within industry
standards is inserted.
Cleaning compact discs
Inspect all discs for contamination
before playing. If necessary, clean
discs only with an approved CD
cleaner and wipe the center out to
the edge. Do not use circular
motion.
