Precautions to observe when han- dling a compact disc (CD) Use only compact discs (CDs) that have the mark
shown below. CD-RWs cannot be used. Also, some
CD-Rs cannot be played.
In cold and/or rainy weather, dew can form inside
the CD player, preventing normal operation. If this
happens, eject the CD and wait for the player to dry out.
Skipping may occur when the CD player is sub-
jected to severe vibration (for example, when the ve-
hicle is driven on a rough surface). To remove a disc from the case, press the center
of the case and hold both edges of the disc. If the
disc surface is touched directly, contamination
could cause poor tone quality. Do not touch the disc
surface. Use a clean disc whenever possible. If there are
deposits, wipe the disc surface from the center out-
ward with a dry, soft cloth. Be sure not to use a hard
cloth, thinner, benzene, alcohol, etc. Do not use any disc that is scratched, deformed,
or cracked. Also, do not use any disc that has a
non-standard shape (for example, a heart shape).
Malfunctions or problems might result. A disc is vulnerable to heat. Never keep it either in
places exposed to direct sunlight, near heaters or invehicles parked in the sun or hot days.
