Sloping Console  
This unit uses a SLOPING CONSOLE to make  
large screen displays possible.  
2. Before the SLOPING CONSOLE closes,  
there may be a braking sound from the safety  
mechanism. This is normal.  
When you use the SLOPING CONSOLE, be  
sure to close it.  
3. If you move the SLOPING CONSOLE by  
hand, this may start play. To correct this play,  
with the power for the unit ON, press the [Q]  
button to close the SLOPING CONSOLE.  
CAUTION  
4. After a disc is ejected, the SLOPING  
CONSOLE automatically returns to the tilted  
or closed state. If there is any obstruction  
when the SLOPING CONSOLE tries to close,  
the safety mechanism is triggered and the  
SLOPING CONSOLE returns to the open  
state. If this happens, remove the  
obstruction, then press the [Q] button.  
5. To avoid scratching the compact disc, keep  
the 12 or 8 cm CD level when loading or  
removing it.  
BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET YOUR FINGERS  
CAUGHT WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING  
THE SLOPING CONSOLE.  
1. For safety’s sake, always close the SLOPING  
CONSOLE before leaving this unit unused for  
a prolonged period or switching OFF the  
ignition key.  
If you switch OFF the ignition key with the  
SLOPING CONSOLE tilted, the SLOPING  
CONSOLE does not close.  
Handling Compact Discs  
• Do not use compact discs that have large  
scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of  
such discs may cause misoperation or  
damage.  
• To remove a compact disc from its storage  
case, press down on the center of the case  
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the  
edges.  
Use only compact discs bearing the  
mark.  
or  
Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other  
specially shaped compact discs.  
Some CDs recorded in the CD-R/CD-RW mode  
may not be usable.  
• Do not use commercially available CD  
protection sheets or discs equipped with  
stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc or  
break the internal mechanism.  
Handling  
• Compared to ordinary music CDs, CD-R and  
CD-RW discs are both easily affected by high  
temperature and humidity and some CD-R and  
CD-RW discs may not be playable. Therefore,  
do not leave them for a long time in the car.  
• New discs may  
have some  
roughness  
around the  
edges. If such discs

may not work or the sound  
Cleaning  
• To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft  
cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center  
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.  
may skip. Use a ball-point pen  
or the like to remove any  
roughness from the edge of the disc.  
• Never stick labels on the surface of the  
compact disc or mark the surface with a pencil  
or pen.  
• After using special compact disc cleaner, let  
the compact disc dry off well before playing it.  
• 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 remove it from the CD  
player or it may damage the CD player.

The control panel can be detached to prevent  
theft. When detaching the control panel, store it  
in the DCP (DETACHABLE CONTROL PANEL)  
case to prevent scratches.  
Attaching the DCP  
1. Place the DCP to the SLOPING CONSOLE,  
adjusting the metal connecters on DCP and  
the SLOPING CONSOLE.  
We recommend taking the DCP with you when  
leaving the car.  
2. Press the DCP until it clicks into the  
SLOPING CONSOLE.  
Removing the DCP

3. Move the DCP detaching slider to the  
“LOCK” side.  
CAUTION  
• If the slider is on the [RELEASE] side and  
the DCP is not locked into place, it may fall  
out from vibration of the car. This can break  
the DCP, so after removing it, either firmly  
reattach it on the unit or put it in its DCP  
case.  
∗ The SLOPING CONSOLE without DCP  
closes automatically in a few seconds.  
• The connector connecting the unit and the  
DCP is an extremely important part. Be  
careful not to damage it by pressing on it  
with fingernails, screwdrivers, etc.  
Note:  
CAUTION  
• If the DCP is dirty, wipe off the dirt with a soft, dry  
cloth only.  
• Do not try to remove or attach while  
driving.  
• The DCP can easily be damaged by shocks.  
After removing it, be careful not to drop it  
or subject it to strong shocks.  
• If you purchased a replacement DCP, an  
electrical adjustment is necessary.  
This adjustment requires technical  
knowledge.
