Handling Compact Discs  
music CD to damage from high temperatures and  
humidity, and in some cases, may become  
unusable if left in the car for long periods of time.  
• Remove CDs from the unit when not listening to  
them for a while, and put them back in their cases.  
Do not pile up CDs that are removed from their  
cases or prop them against something.  
Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched or  
warped can cause the sound to skip and  
the unit to operate incorrectly, resulting in  
worsened sound quality. Take the  
following precautions to prevent your CDs  
from getting scratched or damaged.  
Do Not Load CD Accessories  
Do not use commercially available CD accessories  
that can be loaded into the CD slot, such as  
stabilizers, protective sheets, or CD cleaning discs,  
since they can cause the unit to malfunction.  
2CAUTION  
Do Not Use Special Shape CDs  
• Be sure to use round shape CDs only for this unit  
and do not use any special shape CDs. Use of  
special shape CDs may cause the unit to  
malfunction.  
Handling CDs  
• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD (the side  
opposite the label) when holding it.  
Cleaning CDs  
If a CD has gotten dirty, wipe it off gently using a  
commercially available cleaning cloth or a soft  
cotton cloth, starting from the center of the disc  
and moving outward. Do not clean CDs with  
conventional record cleaners, anti-static formulas,  
or chemicals such as paint thinner or benzene.  
• The reflective film on a CD-R or a CD-RW is more  
fragile than that on an ordinary music CD, and may  
peel off if scratched. Fingerprints on a CD-R or CD-  
RW are also more likely to cause skipping when the  
disc is played. For these reasons, handle the disc  
very carefully. Detailed handling instructions will  
appear on the CD-R or CD-RW package: read this  
information carefully before using the disc.  
Be sure to use CDs with disc mark  
only for this unit.  
Checking New CDs for Burrs  
•CD-Rs and CD-RWs which have not undergone  
finalization processing cannot be played. (For more  
information on finalization processing, refer to the  
manual for your CD-R/CD-RW writing software or  
CD-R/CD-RW recorder.) Additionally, depending on  
the recording status, it may prove impossible to  
play certain CDs recorded on CD-R or CD-RW.  
When playing a new CD for the first time, check  
that there are not any burrs stuck to the perimeter  
of the disc or in the central hole. CDs with burrs  
stuck on them may not load properly or may skip  
while playing. Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen  
or a similar utensil.  
• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.  
Tape  
Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the  
Labeled Side  
Burrs  
Do not use the CD with the label sticker stuck on  
it.  
Burrs  
Using such a CD may cause the CD to be  
deformed and the sticker to peel off, resulting in  
malfunction of the unit.  
Storing CDs  
• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct  
sunlight (such as a car seat or the dashboard) or  
other hot places.
