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.
