CD player and care
• Use only CDs that have either of the
two Compact Disc Digital Audio marks
as shown below.
• Use only normal, round CDs. If you
insert irregular, 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-print-
ed) 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 tempera-
tures.
• Do not attach labels, write on or apply
chemicals 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,
moisture may form on components
inside the CD player. Condensation may
cause the CD player to malfunction. If
you think that condensation is a prob-
lem, 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 play-
back.
• Never put a label, tape or scratches on
a disc. These will prevent the disc from
being played.
CD-R and CD-RW discs
• When CD-R/CD-RW discs are used,
playback is possible only for discs which
have been finalized.
• It may not be possible to play back
CDR/CD-RW discs recorded on a music
CD recorder or a personal computer
because of disc characteristics, scratch-
es or dirt on the disc, or dirt, condensa-
tion, etc., on the lens of this unit.
• Playback of discs recorded on a per-
sonal computer may not be possible,
depending on the application settings
and the environment. Please record
with the correct format. (For details,
contact the manufacturer of the applica-
tion.)
• Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs may
become impossible in case of direct
exposure to sunlight, high tempera-
tures, or the storage conditions in the
car.
• Titles and other text information record-
ed on a CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be
displayed by this unit (in the case of
audio data (CD-DA)).
• This unit conforms to the track skip
function of the CD-R/CD-RW disc. The
tracks containing the track skip informa-
tion are skipped automatically (in case
of audio data (CD-DA)).
• If you insert a CD-RW disc into this
unit, time to playback will be longer
than when you insert a conventional CD
or CD-R disc.
• Read the precautions accompanying
the CD-R/CD-RW discs before use.
• Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW can not be
played back using the DDCD (Double
Density CD) system.
• This unit will not play back SACD (Super
Audio CD).
