Handling discs

This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs
and CD-Rs (Recordable).
• This unit is not compatible with MP3 discs.
How to handle discs
When removing a disc from
its case, press down the
center holder of the case
and lift the disc out,
holding it by the edges.
• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not
touch its recording surface.
When storing a disc into its case, gently insert
the disc around the center holder (with the
printed surface facing up).
• Make sure to store discs into the cases after use.
To keep discs clean
A dirty disc may not play
correctly. If a disc does
become dirty, wipe it with a
soft cloth in a straight line
from center to edge.
To play new discs
New discs may have some
rough spots around the
inner and outer edges. If
such a disc is used, this
unit may reject the disc.
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
unit in the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In
this case, eject the disc and leave the unit
turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates.
