Maintenance  
How to clean the connectors  
To keep discs clean  
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the  
connectors.  
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe  
the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth  
moistened with alcohol, being careful not to  
damage the connectors.  
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.  
• Do not use any solvents (for example,  
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,  
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.  
To play new discs  
Connectors  
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.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the  
unit in the following cases:  
• After starting the heater in the car.  
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.  
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction.  
In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit  
turned on for a few hours until the moisture  
has evaporated.  
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges  
with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.  
Do not use the following discs:  
Single CD (8 cm disc)  
Warped disc  
How to handle discs  
Center holder  
When removing a disc  
Sticker and sticker  
residue  
from its case, press down  
the center holder of the case  
and lift the disc out, holding  
Stick-on label  
it by the edges.  
• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not  
touch its recording surface.  
When storing a disc in its case, gently insert  
the disc around the center holder (with the  
printed surface facing up).

to eject the disc.  
• If you turn off the power while listening to  
a track, playback will start from where it had  
been stopped previously next time you turn  
on the power.  
• If the ejected disc is not removed within  
15 seconds, it is automatically inserted into  
the loading slot again to protect it from dust.  
Playback starts automatically.  
• If no operation is done for about 60 seconds  
after pressing MENU button, the operation will  
be canceled.  
• MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words “file” and “track”  
are used interchangeably) are recorded in  
“folders.”  
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3  
or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent  
sounds.  
Tuner operations  
Storing stations in memory  
• During SSM search...  
–All previously stored stations are erased and  
the stations are stored anew.  
–When SSM is over, the station stored in the  
lowest preset number will be automatically  
tuned in.  
• When storing a station manually, the  
previously preset station is erased when  
a new station is stored in the same preset  
number.  
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.  
• This unit can only play back files of the same  
type as those detected first if a disc includes  
both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA  
files.  
• This unit can play back multi-session discs;  
however, unclosed sessions will be skipped  
while playing.  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on  
this unit because of their disc characteristics,  
or for the following reasons:  
–Discs are dirty or scratched.  
–Moisture condensation has occurred on the  
lens inside the unit.  
–The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.  
–The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written  
using the “Packet Write” method.  
–There are improper recording conditions  
(missing data, etc.) or media conditions  
(stained, scratched, warped, etc.).  
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time  
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than  
that of regular CDs.

Maintenance  
How to clean the connectors  
To keep discs clean  
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the  
connectors.  
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe  
the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth  
moistened with alcohol, being careful not to  
damage the connectors.  
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.  
• Do not use any solvents (for example,  
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,  
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.  
To play new discs  
Connectors  
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.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the  
unit in the following cases:  
• After starting the heater in the car.  
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.  
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction.  
In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit  
turned on for a few hours until the moisture  
has evaporated.  
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges  
with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.  
Do not use the following discs:  
Single CD (8 cm disc)  
Warped disc  
How to handle discs  
Center holder  
When removing a disc  
Sticker and sticker  
residue  
from its case, press down  
the center holder of the case  
and lift the disc out, holding  
Stick-on label  
it by the edges.  
• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not  
touch its recording surface.  
When storing a disc in its case, gently insert  
the disc around the center holder (with the  
printed surface facing up).  
C-thru Disc

to eject the disc.  
• If you turn off the power while listening to  
a track, playback will start from where it had  
been stopped previously next time you turn  
on the power.  
• If the ejected disc is not removed within  
15 seconds, it is automatically inserted into  
the loading slot again to protect it from dust.  
Playback starts automatically.  
• If no operation is done for about 60 seconds  
after pressing MENU button, the operation will  
be canceled.  
• MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words “file” and “track”  
are used interchangeably) are recorded in  
“folders.”  
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3  
or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent  
sounds.  
Tuner operations  
Storing stations in memory  
• During SSM search...  
–All previously stored stations are erased and  
the stations are stored anew.  
–When SSM is over, the station stored in the  
lowest preset number will be automatically  
tuned in.  
• When storing a station manually, the  
previously preset station is erased when  
a new station is stored in the same preset  
number.  
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.  
• This unit can only play back files of the same  
type as those detected first if a disc includes  
both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA  
files.  
• This unit can play back multi-session discs;  
however, unclosed sessions will be skipped  
while playing.  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on  
this unit because of their disc characteristics,  
or for the following reasons:  
–Discs are dirty or scratched.  
–Moisture condensation has occurred on the  
lens inside the unit.  
–The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.  
–The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written  
using the “Packet Write” method.  
–There are improper recording conditions  
(missing data, etc.) or media conditions  
(stained, scratched, warped, etc.).  
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time  
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than  
that of regular CDs.  
Disc/USB operations

Maintenance  
How to clean the connectors  
To keep discs clean  
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the  
connectors.  
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe  
the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth  
moistened with alcohol, being careful not to  
damage the connectors.  
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.  
• Do not use any solvents (for example,  
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,  
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.  
Connectors  
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.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the  
unit in the following cases:  
• After starting the heater in the car.  
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.  
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction.  
In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit  
turned on for a few hours until the moisture  
has evaporated.  
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges  
with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.  
Do not use the following discs:  
Single CD (8 cm disc)  
Warped disc  
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.  
Center holder  
Sticker and sticker  
residue  
Stick-on label  
• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not  
touch its recording surface.  
C-thru Disc  
(semitransparent
