Care of cassette tapes (if equipped)
Because the thickness of a cas-
sette tape with the total playback
time of over 60 minutes (C-60) are
too thin, we suggest that you do
not use any of them to avoid hav-ing tapes being tangled.
To achieve better sound quality, periodically clean the tape head
using a cotton stick with colorlessalcohol (once per month).
If a tape is too loose, fasten it to reel by winding with objects like a pencil.
Because dust or foreign objects on a cassette tape may damage the
playback head, always store tapes
in their cases when not in use.
Make sure cassette tapes are kept away from magnetic devices (TV,stereo system, etc) in order to
achieve better sound quality.
Be certain that no objects or sub-stances other than cassette tapes are
inserted into the cassette tape player.
Because tape media can be dis- torted when exposed to direct sun-
light, Do not leave cassette tapes
on the seats, dashboard or near
the back windshield. Care of disc (if equipped)
If the temperature inside the car is too
high, open the car windows for venti-
lation before using your car audio.
It is illegal to copy and use MP3/WMA/AAC/WAVE files without
permission(If equipped with M465,use only MP3/WMA, If equipped
with M445, use only CD-DA). Use
CDs that are created only by lawful
means.
Do not apply volatile agents such as benzene and thinner, normal
cleaners and magnetic sprays
made for analogue disc onto CDs.
To prevent the disc surface from getting damaged. Hold and carry
CDs by the edges or the edges of
the center hole only.
Clean the disc surface with a piece of soft cloth before playback (wipe it
from the center to the outside edge.).
Do not damage the disc surface or attach pieces of sticky tape orpaper onto it.
Make sure on undesirable matter other than CDs are inserted into
the CD player (Do not insert morethan one CD at a time). Keep CDs in their cases after use
to protect them from scratches or
dirt.
Depending on the type of CD- R/CD-RW CDs, certain CDs may
not operate normally according to
manufacturing companies or mak-
ing and recording methods. In such
circumstances, if you still continue
to use those CDs, they may cause
the malfunction of your car audiosystem.

copyprotected CDs and the CD

forming to your expectation, thismay be caused by those CDs and nota defect in the device itself. Please
