About Discs
NOTE•In cold or rainy weather, just as the interior glass surface becomes fogged,
dew (water condensation) may also form on the unit. When this occurs, disc
playback may jump or stop. Ventilate or dehumidify the air in the vehicle for a
while before resuming playback.
•If a problem occurs, the player function stops automatically to protect its
internal parts. If the player does not operate even when you follow the
on-screen messages, the player may have failed. Consult your SUBARU dealer.
•Playback may jump when the player is subjected to severe vibrations while
traveling over a rough surface.
•Do not use a commercially available lens cleaner because it may damage the
pickup of the player.
■About the supported discs
•An audio disc bearing one of the marks below can be played.
•It is possible that a CD-R (CD-Recordable) or CD-RW (CD-ReWritable) disc will
not play on the unit due to the recording condition, disc characteristics,
scratches, dirt, or deterioration caused by long-term storage in the vehicle.
Also, a CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been finalized and a CD-R or CD-RW
disc recorded in UDF format cannot be played.
•The CD-TEXT function can be used only for commercially available CDs that
support CD-text. Characters written on CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be
displayed correctly.
•Do not use a CD or See Through disc that has a transparent or semi-
transparent recording area as they may fail to load or unload or play their
contents.•A Copy Control CD (CCCD) may not be played as it does not meet the official
CD Standard.
■Handling discs
•Do not place a disc in direct sunlight. Store each disc in its protective case.
Otherwise, discs may warp and fail to play.
•Do not attach paper-based tape to either the recording side or label side of a
disc. Damage could result.
