In the following circumstances, moisture can form on
compact 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 subjected to violent vibrations,
such as during off-road driving, 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 the 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 center hole.

To clean a disc, use a soft, clean, dry cloth. Wipe directly
from the center hole toward 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 or stickers on compact discs.
Also, 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.
