Handling CDs

This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs
and CD-Rs.
Only for KD-SX985:
• You can also play back CD Text.
• You can also play back your original CD-Rs
(Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) either
in audio CD format or in MP3 format.
Only for KD-SX885:
KD-SX885 is not compatible with MP3.
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.
About mistracking:
Mistracking may result from driving on extremely
rough roads. This does not damage the unit and the
disc, but will be annoying.
We recommend that you stop disc playback while
driving on such rough roads.

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.
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW
You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs
recorded in audio CD format (or in MP3 format: only
for KD-SX985.) However, they may not be played
back depending on their characteristics or recording
conditions.
