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.
Action
Clean disc.
Replace disc.
Turn the ignition
ON and OFF, or
switch to a differ-
ent source, then
back to the CD
player.
Replace disc.
! Check all CDs for cracks, scratches or
warped discs 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
side) 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 dirt from a CD, wipe the disc with
a soft cloth outward from the center of the
disc.
! 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 not operate properly. If you think
that condensation is a problem turn off the
CD player for an hour or so to allow the CD
player 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.
