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.
(However, they may not be played back depending
on their characteristics or recording conditions.)
• User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs
(Rewritable), where audio CD tracks are
recorded, can be played back only if they are
already “finalized.”
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read
their instructions or cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played
back on this unit because of their disc
characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if
the player’s lens is dirty.
• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high
temperatures or high humidity; so do not leave
them inside your car.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time.
(This is caused by the fact that the reflectance
of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.)

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.
CAUTIONS:
• Do not insert 8 cm (3 3/16") discs (single CDs)
into the loading slot. (Such discs cannot be
ejected.)
• Do not insert any disc of unusual shape — like a
heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a
malfunction.
• Do not expose discs 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 discs.
Center holder
Handling discs
This unit has been designed to reproduce the
discs bearing the following marks.
You can also play back your original CD-Rs
(Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) either in
audio CD format or in MP3 format.
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.
