lar disc, it may be damaged (i.e., scratched, reflective
coating removed, a hair, moisture or dew on the disc)

good disc before considering disc player service.

by relocating the cellular phone antenna. This condition
is not harmful to the radio. If your radio performance
does not satisfactorily “clear” by the repositioning of the
antenna, it is recommended that the radio volume be
turned down or off during cellular phone operation.
