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 subject-
ed to severe vibration (for example, when the vehicle
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 de-
posits, wipe the disc surface from the center outward
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-stan-
dard 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 in
vehicles parked in the sun or hot days.
