exposed to direct sunlight or hot air coming

Dusty locations
When cleaning out the car, be sure not
to get any water on the player because it
can be damaged.
Sometimes the player will not function
properly in extreme heat or cold. In this
case, wait until the temperature in the car is
more normal, then use the player. Closed
up cars in summer get very hot. If the
temperature inside the player goes above its
reference temperature, a protective circuit
automatically stops the play and ejects the
disc. In this case, open the window to cool
off the car, then start up the player again.
Condensation
During cold weather, moisture drops
sometimes form on the optical lens of the
disc player after the heater is turned on.
This is called condensation. On a rainy day
or in a very damp area, moisture may
condense on the laser lenses inside the
unit. With this condensation on the lens, the
disc player cannot read the disc and
therefore cannot function properly. The time
required depends on the surroundings, but
if you remove the disc from the player and
wait for about an hour, the condensation will
evaporate and the disc player will be able to
function properly again.
Sound Skip
If you are driving on a rough road, sound
may
be skipped. It is inevitable
and will not cause any damage, disc
scratches etc.
Never put any other object in the Disc
slot for compact discs. The inside of the
disc player is precision equipment that
could be damaged by any foreign objects.
When not using the disc player, do not
forget to remove the compact disc. Do not
leave an ejected disc sitting on the edge of
the disc player for a long time. This can
expose the disc to direct sunlight and other
causes of warping. Keep the discs in their
cases away from direct sunlight.
To prevent accidents, keep the sound
low enough to enable you to hear outside
sound when driving.
Do not try to open the disc player nor to
repair it. The inside of the disc player is
precision equipment, so if there is any
problem, bring it to the store where you
purchased it for servicing.
Do not attempt to clean the unit with
chemical solvents as this might damage
the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
HANDLING THE DISCS
Dirt, dust, scratches and deformation
4
cause sound skips during playback and a
deterioration of sound quality.
How to take care of your discs:
Use compact discs that have the mark
shown on the right.
DIGITAL
Fingerprints and dust should be
carefully wiped off the disc’s signal surface
(glossy side) with a soft cloth. Unlike
conventional records, the compact disc
has no grooves to collect dust and
microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a
soft cloth should remove most particles.
Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to
the outside of the disc. Small dust particles
or light stains will have absolutely no effect
on reproduction quality.
Never use such chemicals as record
sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine
or thinner to clean compact discs. Such
chemicals
irreparably damage the
disc’s plastic surface.
Discs should be put back in their cases
after use to avoid serious scratches that
could cause sound skip.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight,
high humidity, or high temperatures for
extended periods of time. Long exposure
to high temperatures can warp the disc.
Do not
k a
p per or write anything with
a ball-point pen on the disc surface.
