1. PRECAUTIONS
1. When the inside of the car is very cold and
the player is used soon after switching on the
heater, dew may form on the disc or the opti-
cal parts of the player and proper playback
may not be possible. If dew forms on the disc,
wipe it with a soft cloth. If dew forms on the
optical parts of the player, do not use the
player for about one hour and the condensa-
tion will disappear naturally to allow normal
operation.2. Driving on bumpy roads which cause severe
vibration may cause the sound skip.
