Compact disc care
•Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself.

•Use CD standard EN 60908 discs only.

problems with system (poor sound). CDR
discs can cause listening problems due to
the quality of the disc or recording equip-
ment used.
•DualDisc: The audio side of a DualDisc
(combined CD/DVD) does not meet CD
specifications and may not play in your
audio system.
•Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with a
soft, clean, lint-free cloth, working from the
center outwards. If necessary, dampen thecloth with a neutral soap solution. Dry thor-
oughly before using.
•Never use cleaning spray or antistatic liq-
uid. Use only cleaners specifically made for
CD's.
•Use discs of the correct size only (3.5"
discs should never be used).
•Volvo does not recommend the use of
plastic outer rings on the disc.
•Condensation may occur on discs/optical
components of the changer in cold winter
weather. The disc can be dried with a
clean, lint-free cloth. Optical components
in the CD changer may, however, take up
to one hour to dry off.
•Never attempt to play a disc which is dam-
aged in any way.
•When not in use, the discs should be
stored in their covers. Avoid storing discs
in excessive heat, direct sunlight or dusty
locations.
