●In the following circumstan ces, moisture can form on
discs and inside the audio system, preventing normal
operation. • When there is high humidity (for example, when it is raining).
• When the temperature suddenly rises, such as right after
the heater is turned on in cold weather.
In this case, wait until the moisture has had time to dry
out.
● When the CD player is subj ected to violent vibrations,
such as during off-road dr iving, the tracking may not
work.
● When storing compact discs, always store them in their
separate cases. Never place compact discs in direct sun-
light, or in any place where th e temperature or humidity is
high.
● Never touch the flat surface of the disc where there isn’t a
label. This will damage the disc surface and could affect
the sound quality. When handling a compact disc, always
hold it by the outer edge and the centre hole. ●
To clean a disc, use a soft, cl ean, dry cloth. Wipe directly
from the centre hole towards the outer edge. Do not wipe
in a circle. Never use any chemicals such as benzine, paint
thinner, a disc spray cleaner, or an anti-static agent on the
disc.
● Do not use a ball point pen, felt pen, pencil, etc. to write
on the label surface of the disc.
