WARNING!
Having the volume turned up high can cause the
driver to not be able to hear important traffic sounds,
i.e. sirens, horns, etc. This could cause an accident.
Always adjust the volume so that you can still hear
background noises.
Care And Maintenance
Clean the cover with a soft antistatic cloth only. Cleaning
and polishing products could damage the surface.
CDs
The presence of dirt, scratches or distortions on the CDs
could cause skipping and poor sound quality while it is
playing. For optimal playback conditions, follow these
guidelines:
•Only use branded CDs.
•Clean every CD thoroughly removing any finger
marks or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs by the
outside and clean them from the middle outwards.
•Never use chemicals (e.g. antistatics or thinners or
sprays) for cleaning as they could damage the surface
of the CDs.
•After listening to them place CDs back in their boxes to
prevent them from being damaged.
•Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high tempera-
tures or moisture for long periods.
•Do not stick labels on the CD surface or write on the
recorded surface with pencils or pens.
•Do not use CDs that are very scratched, flawed,
distorted, etc. Using discs like these will result in
malfunctions or damage to the player.

•The use of original CD media is required for the best
quality audio production. Correct operation is not
guaranteed when CD-R/RW media are used that were
not correctly burned and/or with a maximum capacity
above 650 Mb.
•Do not use commercially available protective sheets
for CDs or discs, with stabilizers, etc. as they could get
stuck in the internal mechanism and damage the disc.
•If a copy-protected CD is used, it may take a few seconds
before the system starts to play it. The CD player cannot
be guaranteed to play all protected discs. The fact that the
CD is protected from being copied is often shown in very
small letters or is difficult to read on the actual CD cover
where it may be, for example, “COPY CONTROL”,
“COPY PROTECTED”, “THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED
ON A PC/MAC”.
•The CD player is capable of reading most compression
systems currently in use, following the development of
these systems, the reading of all compression formats
is not guaranteed.
Technical Specifications
The complete system consists of:
•Two 165 mm diameter midwoofer speakers, one
speaker in each of the front doors.
•Two 22 mm diameter tweeter speakers, one speaker in
each of the front pillars.
•Two 100 mm diameter full range speakers, one speaker
in each of the rear side panels.
•Antenna on the car roof.
•Radio with CD/MP3 player.
