General malfunctions
The CD players are optimized for operation in
vehicles. They may be more sensitive to
defective CDs than play ers for stationary use.
If a CD can not be played, first check if the CD is
properly inserted.
Humidity
If there is high humidity, the CD or the focusing
lens for the laser beam may get fogged up and
playing the CD may temporarily not be possible.
Malfunctions with individual CDs
If there are malfunctions with individual CDs,
then they may be due to the following causes.
CDs that you burned yourself
Potential problems with home-burned CDs are,
for example, inconsistent data generation and
burning processes, as we ll as low quality or
excessive aging of the blanks that are used.
Only write on the upper surface of CDs with a
writing instrume nt that is suitable for the
purpose.
Damaged CDs
Avoid finger prints as well as dust, scratches and
moisture.
Store CDs in sleeves.
Do not expose CDs to a temperature greater
than 122 7/50 6, elevated humidity or direct
sunlight.
CDs with copy protection
CDs are often provided with copy protection
from the manufacturer. This can result in CDs not
playing or playing back in only a limited fashion.
Care
If necessary, clean the reflecting side of the CD
with a commercially availab le cleaning cloth by
wiping in a straight line from the center
outwards.
