Safety information
Notes on discsPrecautions
• When the inside of the vehicle is verycold and the player is used soon after
switching on the heater, condensation
may form on the disc or the optical
parts of the player and proper playback
may not be possible. If condensation
forms on the disc, wipe it off with a soft
cloth. If condensation forms on the opti-
cal parts of the player, do not use the
player for about one hour. This will
allow the condensation to disappear
normally.
• Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause severe vibrations may
cause sound to skip.
• This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even in the event that trouble arises,
never open the case, disassemble the
unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.

Radio reception
Radio reception can be affected by envi-
ronment, atmospheric conditions, or radio
signal’s power and distance from the sta-
tion. Nearby mountains and buildings may
interfere or deflect r
adio reception, causing
poor reception. Poor reception or radio
static can also be caused by electric cur-
rent from overhead wires or high voltage
power lines.
