Notes for the care of the CDs
If a CD is soiled, please never clean the CD in the direction of a circle but rather
from inside to outside with a soft lint-free cloth. In case of severe layers of dirt we
recommend to clean the CD with a commercially available CD cleaner. Also in this
case do not clean the CD in the direction of a circle but rather from inside to out-
side and then let it dry off. WARNING
■ The CD player is a 1st class laser product. There is a definite risk of injury
from invisible laser beams if it is opened.
■ The CD player contains no parts that have to be serviced or repaired. Please
contact your specialist garage if a mechanical defect occurs or the CD player
has to be repaired. CAUTION
■ Never use liquids such as gasoline, paint thinner or disk cleaner, otherwise the
surface of the CD could get damaged!
■ Never expose the CD to direct sun rays!
■ Please never write or affix the CD! Note
Dirt or damage of a CD can lead to difficulties when “reading” the information.
The difficulty in reading the error depends on the dirt or on the severity of the
mechanical damage. Severe scratches cause reading errors which can make the
CD jump or “get stuck”. All CDs must be treated carefully and always be stored in
a protective case. ÐExternal sources

ternal audio source is not switched off, it remains always active in the back-
ground.
Please refer to the Owner's manual of the respective manufacturer for the opera-
tion of the external audio source.
If a MEDIA socket is additionally installed, the button MDI is displayed instead
of the function key AUX in the

nected to the AUX socket can only be replayed, if there is currently no data
carrier connected to the MDI input.
Use the standard jack plug 3.5 mm for the AUX socket. If the external audio
source does not have this jack plug, you must use an adapter.
Adjust the play function volume of the external audio source
