Risk of injury
The CD drive is a class 1 laser product. There
is a risk of exposure to invisible laser radia-
tion if you open the casing or if the casing is
faulty or damaged.
Do not open the casing. The unit contains no
parts on which you can carry out mainte-
nance. For safety reasons, have any neces-
sary maintenance work carried out by
qualified aftersales technicians only.

Risk of accident
In order to avoid distraction which could lead
to an accident, the driver should insert or
eject CDs with the vehicle at a standstill and
operate the Sound 5 radio only if permitted
by road, weather and traffic conditions.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(50 km/h), your vehicle is covering a dis-
tance of 44 feet (14 m) every second.

Explanation of terminology:
The terms "track" and "file" are used in
this manual to describe a single piece of
music on a CD. "Track" refers to pieces of
music on audio CDs or on MP3/WMA
CDs. "File" is used for MP3/WMA CDs
only.
The term "folder" is used to describe file
directories on MP3/WMA CDs which
contain MP3/WMA tracks.
+
In some cases, the Sound 5 radio may not
be able to play audio CDs with copy protec-
tion.
There may be playback problems when play-
ing copied CDs.
+
There are a large variety of discs, disc-
writing software and writers available. This
variety means that there is no guarantee
that the Sound 5 radio will be able to play
discs that you have copied yourself.
There may be playback problems if you play
CDs that you have copied yourself with a
storage capacity of more than 700 MB. CDs
of this type do not conform to currently appli-
cable standards.
! Do not affix stickers or labels to the
discs. They could peel off and damage
the drive. Such damage is not covered by
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
! The drive is designed to hold discs which
comply with the EN 60908 standard.
Therefore, you can only use discs with a
maximum thickness of 1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that
contain data on both sides (DVD on one
side and audio data on the other), they
cannot be ejected and they can damage
the CD drive.
Do not use discs with a diameter of 8 cm,
even with an adapter, as this can damage
the drive. Such damage is not covered by
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Only use round discs with a diameter of
12 cm.
