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. When the auto antenna cord is connected to  
the car auto antenna cord, when the unit is  
switched to the radio mode (or theTV mode),  
the antenna is extended automatically. If the  
car is in a narrow space, the antenna may  
strike something, so be careful.  
Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other specially shaped compact discs.

• 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.
