the unit to malfunction.

¡

ers, etc.)

¡

 Damaged or deformed discs

Shoddily made discs

Discs with cracks, scratches 

or parts missing

Discs with burrs

Please remove the burrs before use.

Disc insert

The surfaces of new discs tend to be slippery. Therefore, 

when using such a disc for the first time, it may not load 

satisfactorily even when it has been inserted into the unit. At 

a time like this, insert the disc into the unit as far as it will go 

until it is loaded properly.

¡

 When inserting a disc into or ejecting and removing it 

from the unit, insert it straight in or eject and remove 

it straight out in parallel with the unit. Otherwise, the 

disc may be scratched or marked in the process.

¡

 When inserting a disc, do not put one disc on another. 

Failure to observe this may cause the discs to be 

jammed.

Do not leave discs in the following places:

¡

 Direct sunlight

¡

 Near heaters

¡

 Dirty, dusty and damp areas

¡

 On seats and dashboards

Disc cleaning

Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe from the center outward.

Do not attach any seals or labels to your discs.

Do not write on the disc label in a heavy pen or ballpoint 

pen.

<Wrong>

Notes on CD-Rs/RWs

¡

 You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs 

recorded on CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due 

to their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints, 

scratches, etc. on the disc surface.

¡

 CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures 

and high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving 

them inside a vehicle for extended periods may damage 

and make playback impossible.

¡

 The unit may not successfully playback a CD-R/RW that 

was made by the combination of writing software, a CD 

recorder (CD-R/RW drives) and a disc if they are incom-

patible with one another

.

¡

 This player does not play CD-R/RW discs if the session is 

not closed.

¡

 Be sure to observe the handling instructions of CD-R/RW 

discs.

¡

 This player does not play CD-R/RW discs which contain 

other than CD-DA or MP3 data.
