●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.

●Do not put additional labels (A) or stickers (B) on com-
pact discs. Do not use any compact disc on which a label
or sticker has started to peel off or any compact disc that
has stickiness or other contamination left by a peeled-off
label or sticker. If you use such a compact disc, the CD
player may stop working properly and you may not be
able to eject the compact disc.Notes on CD-Rs/RWsE00725100026
●You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs
recorded on CD recorders (C D-R/RW drives), either due
to their recording characteris tics or dirt, fingerprints,
scratches, etc. on the disc surface.
● CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and
high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving them
inside a vehicle for extended periods may damage them
and make playback impossible.

was made by the combination of writing software, a CD
recorder (CD-R/RW drive) an d a disc if they are incom-
patible with one another.

is not closed.
● This player cannot play CD-R/RW discs which contain
other than CD-DA or MP3 data (Video CD, etc.).
● Be sure to observe the handling instructions for the CD-
R/RW disc.

specifically instructed herein may result in hazard-
ous radiation exposure. Do not remove the cover
