BEFORE USE

*

For safety....

• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will

block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.

• Stop the car before performing any complicated

operations.

*

Temperature inside the car....

If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or

cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car

becomes normal before operating the unit.

How to use the M (MODE) button

If you press M (MODE), the unit goes into functions mode and the number buttons and 5/∞

buttons work as different function buttons.

Ex.: When number button 2 works as MO (monaural) button.

To use these buttons for original functions again after pressing M (MODE), wait for 5 seconds

without pressing any of these buttons until the functions mode is cleared.

• Pressing M (MODE) again also clears the functions mode.

These stations are preset in the number

buttons—No.1 (lowest frequency) to No.6

(highest frequency).

When automatic preset is over, the station stored

in number button 1 will be automatically tuned in.

“- -SSM- -” appears, then disappears when

automatic preset is over.

MAINTENANCE

Center holder

Handling discs

This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs,

CD-Rs (Recordable), and CD-RWs (Rewritable).

• This unit is not compatible with MP3 discs.

How to handle discs

When removing a disc

from its case, press down

the center holder of the case

and lift the disc out, holding

it by the edges.

• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not

touch its recording surface.

When storing a disc into its case, gently insert

the disc around the center holder (with the

printed surface facing up).

• Make sure to store discs into the cases after

use.

To keep discs clean

A dirty disc may not play correctly.

If a disc does become dirty, wipe it

with a soft cloth in a straight line

from center to edge.

To play new discs

New discs may have some rough

spots around the inner and outer

edges. If such a disc is used, this

unit may reject the disc.

To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with

a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the

CD player in the following cases:

• After starting the heater in the car.

• If it becomes very humid inside the car.

Should this occur, the CD player may

malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and leave

the unit turned on for a few hours until the

moisture evaporates.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read

their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on

this unit because of their disc characteristics,

and for the following reasons:

– Discs are dirty or scratched.

– Moisture condensation on the lens inside the

unit.

– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time

since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than

that of regular CDs.

• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high

temperatures or high humidity, so do not leave

them inside your car.

• Do not use following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:

– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal

stuck to the surface.

– Discs on which labels can be directly printed

by an ink jet printer.

Using these discs under high temperatures or

high humidity may cause malfunctions or

damage to discs. For example,

– Stickers or labels may shrink and warp a

disc.

– Stickers or labels may peel off so discs

cannot be ejected.

– Print on discs may get sticky.

Read instructions or cautions about labels and

printable discs carefully.

CAUTIONS:

• Do not insert 8 cm (3 3/16") discs (single CDs)

into the loading slot. (Such discs cannot be

ejected.)

• Do not insert any disc of unusual shape—like a

heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a

malfunction.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any

heat source or place them in a place subject to

high temperature and humidity. Do not leave

them in a car.

• Do not use any solvent (for example,

conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,

benzine, etc.) to clean discs.
