²The CD player has been designed to play CDs bearing the
identification logo as shown. No other discs can be played.
²Do not stick paper or tape on the CD. Avoid scratching the reverse
side of the CD (the side without a label).
²Dust, finger smudges, and dirt can decrease the amount of light
reflected from the signal surface, thereby effecting sound quality.
Gently wipe a soiled CD with a soft cloth from the center to the edge.
²Do not use record sprays, antistatic agents, or household spray
cleaners. Volatile chemicals such as benzine and thinner can also
damage the surface of the CD and must not be used. Do not use
anything that can damage, warp or fog CDs.
²Keep CDs in their cases and avoid direct sunlight to avoid warping.
²The CD player ejects the CD if inserted upside down. Also dirty
and/or defective CDs may be ejected.
²Do not insert cleaning discs into the CD player.
CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 12 cm
(4.75 in) audio compact discs only. Due to technical
incompatibility, certain recordable and re-recordable compact
discs may not function correctly when used in Mazda CD players.
Irregular shaped CDs, CDs with a scratch protection film
attached, and CDs with homemade paper (adhesive) labels should
not be inserted into the CD player. The label may peel and cause
the CD to become jammed. It is recommended that homemade
CDs be identified with permanent felt tip marker rather than
adhesive labels. Ball point pens may damage CDs. Please contact
your dealer for further information.
CD AND CD CHANGER CARE
²Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface.
²Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended
periods of time.
