qOperating Tips for CD Player
Condensation phenomenon
Immediately after turning on the heater
when the vehicle is cold, the CD or
optical components (prism and lens) in the
CD player may become clouded with
condensation. At this time, the CD will
eject immediately when placed in the unit.
A clouded CD can be corrected simply by
wiping it with a soft cloth. Clouded
optical components will clear naturally in
about an hour. Wait for normal operation
to return before attempting to use the unit.
Handling the CD player
The following precautions should be
observed.
The CD revolves at high speed within
l
the unit. Defective (cracked or badly
bent) CDs should never be used.
Do not use non-conventional discs
l
such as heart-shaped, octagonal discs,
etc. The disc may not eject resulting in
a malfunction.
If the memory portion of the CD is
l
transparent or translucent, do not use
the disc.
A new CD may have rough edges on
l
its inner and outer perimeters. If a disc
with rough edges is used, proper
setting will not be possible and the CD
player will not play the CD. In
addition, the disc may not eject
resulting in a malfunction. Remove the
rough edges in advance by using a ball-
point pen or pencil as shown below. To
remove the rough edges, rub the side of
the pen or pencil against the inner and
outer perimeter of the CD.
When driving over uneven surfaces,
l
the sound may jump.
