Audiovox P-153 Car Stereo System User Manual


 
-16-
l Do not attempt to open the unit chassis. There are no user
serviceable parts or adjustments inside.
l When the vehicle warms up during cold weather or under damp
conditions, moisture may condense on the lens of the disc
player. Should this occur, the player will not operate properly
until the moisture has evaporated.
l The unit is designed with a vibration dampening CD mechanism
to minimize interruption of disc play due to normal vibration in
a moving vehicle. When driving on very rough roads, however,
occasional sound skips may occur. This will not scratch or
damage the disc and normal play will resume when the rough
conditions cease.
As with any cassette player, the cassette section of this sound
system does require a minimum of maintenance to keep it in good
working condition. The following simple care and maintenance
suggestions should be followed to prevent malfunctions of the
cassette system.
Cassette Care:
1. Purchase a cassette cleaning kit from your local retail store.
Use it! At least every 20 to 30 hours of operation you must
clean the cassette mechanism. A dirty cassette player will
have a poor sound.
2. Do not use cassettes that exceed 45 minutes of play on
each side.
3. Do not insert a cassette that appears to be broken, twisted
or dirty or with loose or torn labels on it.
4. Always keep your cassettes away from direct sunlight or
exposure to sub-freezing conditions. If a cassette is cold,
allow it to warm up before use.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The radio portion of your new sound system does not require any
maintenance. We recommend you keep this manual for
reference to the many features found in this unit as well as how
to set the clock.
The compact disc player section also requires no routine
maintenance, but proper understanding of its use and handling
will help you obtain maximum enjoyment of its capabilities. The
following points should be observed:
l When cleaning the interior of the vehicle, do not get water or
cleaning fluids on the unit.
l The CD player is a precision instrument and will not operate
properly in extreme hot or cold. In case of such conditions, wait
until the interior temperature of the vehicle reaches a normal
temperature before using the player.
l If the temperature inside the player gets too hot, a protective
circuit will automatically stop play of the disc. In this case, allow
the unit to cool off before operating the player again.
l Never insert anything other than a 5" (12 cm) compact disc into
the player as the mechanism can be damaged by foreign
objects.
l Do not attempt to use 3" (8 cm) CD-Single discs in this unit,
either with or without an adaptor, as damage to the player and/
or disc may occur. Such damage will not be covered by the
Warranty on this product.
l When not using the disc player, always remove the compact
disc. Do not leave an ejected disc sitting in the disc slot as this
can expose it to sunlight and other causes of damage.
