CD player and care
!
Use only CDs that have the Compact Disc
Digital Audio mark as show below.
!
Use only normal, round CDs. If you insert ir-
regular, 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 che-
micals to the surface of the discs.
!
To clean a CD, wipe the disc with a soft
cloth outward from the center.
!
If the heater is used in cold weather, moist-
ure may form on components inside the
CD player. Condensation may cause the CD
player to malfunction. If you think that con-
densation is a problem 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, play-
back 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 re-
corder or a personal 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 environ-
ment. Please record with the correct for-
mat. (For details, contact the manufacturer
of the application.)
