sound quality may be reduced due to CD or DVD
quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music
that has been recorded, recording speed, max media
recording speed, and the way the CD or DVD has been
handled. There may be an increase in skipping,
difficulty in finding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading and
ejecting. If these problems occur, check the bottom
surface of the CD or DVD. If the surface is damaged,
such as cracked, broken, or scratched, it will not play
properly. If the surface is soiled, see “ Care of Your CDs
and DVDs ” in the Index of the vehicle's owner manual.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD
or DVD.
Notice: If a label is added to a CD or DVD, or more
than one CD or DVD is inserted into the slot at a
time, or an attempt is made to play scratched or
damaged CDs or DVDs, the player could be
damaged. While using the CD or DVD player, use
only CDs or DVDs in good condition without any
label, load one CD or DVD at a time, and keep the
player and the loading slot free of foreign materials,
liquids, and debris.
