Handling Compact Discs
This unit has been designed specifically for
playback of compact discs bearing the
mark. No other discs can be played.
To remove the compact disc from its storage
case, press down on the center of the case
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the
edges.
Never stick labels on the surface of the compact
disc or mark the surface with a pencil or pen.
Always handle the compact disc by the edges.
Never touch the surface.
To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft
cloth, and wipe in a straight line from the center
of the compact disc to the circumference.
New discs may have some roughness around
the edges. The unit may not work or the sound
may skip if such discs are used. Use a ball-point
pen, etc. to remove roughness from the edge
of the disc.
Do not use any solvents such as commercially
available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner
to clean compact discs.
Do not use compact discs that have large
scratches, are misshapen, or cracked, etc.
Use of such discs will cause misoperation or
damage.
Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight
or any heat source.

Contents
1. When the inside of the car is very cold and
the player is used soon after switching on the
heater moisture may form on the disc or the
optical parts of the player and proper playback
may not be possible. If moisture forms on the
disc, wipe it off with a soft cloth. If moisture
forms on the optical parts of the player, do
not use the player for about one hour. The
condensation will disappear naturally allowing
normal operation.
2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which
cause severe vibration may cause the sound
to skip.
3. This unit uses a precision mechanism.
Even in the event that trouble arises, never
open the case, disassemble the unit, or
lubricate the rotating parts.
