How to handle CDs
When removing a CD from its case, press down the center holder of the
case and lift the CD out, holding it by the edges.
• Always hold the CD by the edges. Do not touch its recording surface.
• When storing a CD into its case, gently insert the CD around the center
holder (with the printed surface facing up).
• Make sure to store CDs into the cases after use.
To keep CDs clean
A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does becomes dirty, wipe it with a
soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.
To play new CDs
New CDs may have some rough spots around the inner and outer edges.
If such a CD is used, this unit may reject the CD.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen,
etc.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player in the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the CD player may malfunction. In this case, eject the CD and leave the
unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.
CAUTIONS:
• Do not insert 8 cm (3 3/16") CDs (single CDs) into the loading slot. (Such CDs cannot be
ejected.)
• Do not insert any CD of unusual shape — like a heart or flower; otherwise, it will malfunction.
• Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight or any heat source or place them in a place subject to high
temperature and humidity. Do not leave them in a car.
• Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.)
to clean CDs.
When playing a CD-R (Recordable)
You can play back your original CD-Rs on this unit.
• Before playing back CD-Rs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs recorded on CD recorders may not be played back on this unit because of
their disc characteristics, and of the following reasons:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
• Use only "finalized" CD-Rs.
• CD-RWs (Rewritable) cannot be played back on this unit.
• Do not use the CD-Rs with stickers or sticking labels on the surface. They may cause
malfunctions.
