Handling Compact Discs  
2. PRECAUTIONS  
Use only compact discs bearing the  
mark.  
1. When the inside of the car is very cold and  
the player is used soon after switching on  
the heater moisture may form on the disc or  
the optical parts of the player and proper  
playback may not be possible. If moisture  
forms on the disc, wipe it off with a soft cloth.  
If moisture forms on the optical parts of the  
player, do not use the player for about one  
hour. The condensation will disappear natu-  
rally allowing normal operation.  
3. This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even  
in the event that trouble arises, never open  
the case, disassemble the unit, or lubricate  
the rotating parts.  
Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other specially shaped compact discs.  
To remove a compact disc from its storage  
Handling  
case, press down on the center of the case  
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the  
edges.  
• Do not use commercially available CD protec-  
tion sheets or discs equipped with stabilizers,  
etc. These may damage the disc or cause  
breakdown of the internal mechanism.  
• New discs may have some roughness around  
the edges. If such discs are used, the player  
may not work or the sound may skip. Use a  
ball-point pen or the like to remove any rough-  
ness from the edge of the disc.  
Ball-point pen  
Roughness  
2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which  
cause severe vibration may cause the sound  
to skip.  
Storage  
• Do not expose compact discs to direct sun-  
light or any heat source.  
• Do not expose compact discs to excess hu-  
midity or dust.  
• Do not expose compact discs to direct heat  
from heaters.  
This equipment has been tested and found to  
comply with the limits for a Class B digital de-  
vice, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  
CAUTION  
USE OF CONTROLS, ADJUSTMENTS, OR  
PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER  
THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN, MAY RE-

These limits are designed to provide reason-  
able protection against harmful interference in  
a residential installation.  
• Never stick labels on the surface of the com-  
pact disc or mark the surface with a pencil or  
pen.  
• Never play a compact disc with any cellophane  
tape or other glue on it or with peeling off marks.  
If you try to play such a compact disc, you may  
not be able to get it back out of the CD player  
or it may damage the CD player.  
• Do not use compact discs that have large  
scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use  
of such discs may cause misoperation or dam-  
age.  
Cleaning  
To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft  
cloth and wipe in a straight line from the cen-  
ter of the compact disc to the circumference.  
• Do not use any solvents, such as commercially  
available cleaners, anti-static spray or thinner  
to clean compact discs.  
This equipment generates, uses, and can radi-  
ate radio frequency energy and, if not installed  
and used in accordance with the instructions,  
may cause harmful interference to radio com-  
munications. However, there is no guarantee  
that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation.
