CD Player and Care
CD player and care
• Use only CDs that have either of the two Compact
Disc Digital Audio marks as shown below.
• Use only normal, round CDs. If you insert irregu-
lar, non-round, shaped CDs they may jam in the
CD player or not play properly.
• Check all CDs for cracks, scratches or warping
before playing. CDs that have cracks, scratches or
are warped may not play properly. Do not use such
discs.
• Avoid touching the recorded (non-printed) surface
when handling the disc.
• Store discs in their cases when not in use.
• Keep discs out of direct sunlight and do not expose
the discs to high temperatures.
• Do not attach labels, write on or apply chemicals
to the surface of the discs.
• To clean a CD, wipe the disc with a soft cloth out-
ward from the center.
• If the heater is used in cold weather, moisture may
form on components inside the CD player.
Condensation may cause the CD player to mal-
function. If you think that condensation is a prob-
lem turn off the CD player for an hour or so to
allow it to dry out and wipe any damp discs with a
soft cloth to remove the moisture.
• Road shocks may interrupt CD playback.
CD-R/CD-RW discs
• When CD-R/CD-RW discs are used, playback is
possible only for discs which have been finalized.
• It may not be possible to play back CD-R/CD-RW
discs recorded on a music CD recorder or a per-
sonal computer because of disc characteristics,
scratches or dirt on the disc, or dirt, condensation,
etc., on the lens of this unit.
• Playback of discs recorded on a personal computer
may not be possible, depending on the application
settings and the environment. Please record with
the correct format. (For details, contact the manu-
facturer of the application.)
• Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs may become
impossible in case of direct exposure to sunlight,
high temperatures, or the storage conditions in the
car.
• Titles and other text information recorded on a
CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be displayed by this
unit.
• This unit conforms to the track skip function of the
CD-R/CD-RW disc. The tracks containing the
track skip information are skipped automatically .
• If you insert a CD-RW disc into this unit, time to
playback will be longer than when you insert a
conventional CD or CD-R disc.
• Read the precautions with CD-R/CD-RW discs
before using them.
Dual Disc
• Dual Disc are two-sided discs that have a record-
able CD for audio on one side and a recordable
DVD for video on the other.
Since the CD side of Dual Disc is not physically
compatible with the general CD standard, it may
not be possible to play the CD side with this unit.
Frequent loading and ejecting of a Dual Disc may
result in scratches on the disc.
Serious scratches can lead to playback problems
on this unit. In some cases, a Dual Disc may
become stuck in the disc loading slot and will not
eject.
To prevent this, we recommend you refrain from
using Dual Disc with this unit.
Please refer to the information from the disc manu-
facturer for more detailed information about Dual
Discs.
