Operating precautions  
Operating precautions  
<Your CD8051 will perform well over a long period of time through correct  
handling and care.>  
Notes on operation  
• For your safety, play only at volume levels that allow outside sounds to  
be heard.  
• Use only audio compact discs.  
This player can only play compact discs  
bearing the logo shown to the left.  
• It may not be possible to play back some  
tracks on CD-Rs.  
• It may not be possible to play back CD-Rs  
with certain characteristics, or CD-Rs which  
are scratched, dirty, or which have been left  
inside a vehicle for long periods.  
• CDs cannot be played back until all  
sessions recorded on the CD-R have been  
closed.  
• CD-RW discs cannot be played back.  
• Do not insert anything other than a CD into  
the disc slot.  
Do not insert any foreign objects, such as  
coins or credit cards, into the disc slot. Be  
especially watchful of children’s mischief in  
this regard.  
• Avoid severe mechanical shock.  
When the player is subjected to severe  
vibration while traveling over a rough  
surface, playback may be intermittent.  
When a situation like this occurs, resume  
playback after returning to a smoother  
road.  
10  
Operating precautions  
• About dew condensation.  
In cold or rainy weather, just as the interior  
glass surface gets fogged, dew (water  
condensation) may also settle on the deck.  
When this occurs, disc playback may  
become intermittent or impossible.  
Dehumidify the air in the vehicle for a while  
before resuming playback.  
• Cleaning the disc slot.  
The disc slot tends to get dusty. Clean it  
occasionally to prevent accumulated dust  
from scratching the discs.  
11  
Operating precautions  
About compact discs  
• The signal recorded on a compact disc is read by a laser beam, so  
nothing touches the disc surface. A scratch on the recorded surface or  
a badly warped disc may cause deteriorated sound quality or  
intermittent playback. Observe the following precautions to ensure high  
quality sound performance:  
• Do not leave an ejected disc in the disc  
slot for very long; the disc may warp.  
Discs should be stored in their cases and  
kept away from high temperature and  
humidity.  
• Do not stick a piece of paper or tape on,  
nor write on or scratch either side of a  
disc.  
• Discs spin at a high speed inside the  
deck. Keep cracked or warped discs out  
of the player to avoid damaging it.  
• Avoid touching the recorded surface when  
handling a disc; handle discs by their  
edges.  
12  
Operating precautions  
About CD accessories  
About brand new CDs  
• You may notice that some brand  
new discs are rough around the  
center hole or outside edge.  
Remove the rough edges with  
the side of a ballpoint pen, etc.  
Rough edges may prevent  
proper loading in the deck.  
Flakes from the rough edges  
may also stick to the recorded  
surface and interfere with  
playback.  
• Do not use accessories  
(stabilizers, protective seals, laser  
lens cleaners, etc.) sold for  
“improving sound performance”  
or “protecting CDs.” The  
changes in CD thickness or  
outside dimensions made by  
these accessories may cause  
problems in the player.  
Rough Edges  
Ballpoint  
pen  
• Please be sure NOT to attach any  
ring-shape protector (or other  
accessory) to your discs. Those  
protectors are commercially  
available and said to protect disc  
and to improve sound quality  
(and antivibration effect), but they  
can do more harm than good in  
regular uses. The most common  
problems are Insert/Eject related  
problems and "No playback"  
problems due to the protectorring  
that came off in the disc  
mechanism.

Operating precautions  
About borrowed CDs  
About irregularly-shaped CDs  
• Specially-shaped CDs, like  
heart-shaped or octagonal CDs,  
cannot be played. Do not  
attempt to play them, even with  
an adapter, since they may  
damage the player.  
• Do not use a CD with glue or  
remnants of adhesive tape or  
labels. They may cause the CD  
to get stuck inside or damage  
the deck.  
How to remove CDs  
• When removing the ejected disc,  
pull it straight out along the slot.  
Pressing downward in the  
process may scratch the  
recorded surface of the disc.  
OKAY  
14  
Operating precautions  
About cleaning a CD  
• Use a commercially available compact disc  
cleaner to clean a CD, wiping lightly from  
the center to the edge.  
• Do not use benzine, thinner, LP record  
spray or other cleaners on CDs. They may  
damage a CD’s finish.

FM reception characteristics  
In general, FM has much better tonal quality than AM.  
However, FM and FM stereo reception encounter several  
characteristic problems not encountered with AM. FM is  
more difficult to receive than AM in a moving vehicle. The  
following are explanatory notes on what to expect from FM  
reception and on how to get satisfactory performance.  
1 .FM RECEPTION DIFFERS FROM AM  
A characteristic of transmitted signals is that lower  
frequencies travel further. FM frequencies are much  
higher than AM’s (similar to a ray of light): they won’t  
bend but they will reflect. Often, they will be interrupted  
by tall buildings, mountains, etc., taking direct and  
indirect paths to your vehicle’s antenna. The distance at  
which FM stations can be received satisfactorily is  
usually not nearly as far as that which AM stations can  
be received.  
AM Radio Waves  
FM Radio Waves  
Ionosphere  
Ionosphere  
2 .FADING OUT  
In weak signal or “fringe” reception areas, FM stations  
may fade out completely, or fade in and out. When  
driving in weak signal areas, such as near hills, through  
valleys or tunnels, among tall buildings, etc., you may  
encounter unusual noise interference. THIS IS NOT A  
TUNER PROBLEM. In this case, you can only wait until  
you are in a better reception area, tune to a stronger  
station, or reduce the treble level.  
57  
How to operate the tuner  
3 .RECEPTION AREA OF FM BROADCASTS  
A home receiver can catch weak FM stereo signals  
through the use of a tall, directional or ultra-sensitive  
antenna. In a moving vehicle, the area for good  
reception is limited because of varying conditions  
encountered while driving, including the types and  
heights of broadcast antenna structures, signal  
strength, engine noise, etc. For best reception with  
manual antenna, extend the antenna mast as far as  
possible.  
Transmitting Antenna 100 Meters High  
Effective Radiation Power 1kW  
FM Stereo Auto Radio 20 km  
FM Monaural Auto Radio 50 km  
Home FM Stereo Receiver 100 km  
Reception quality varies depending on the power of the FM  
station, natural and artificial barriers,weather conditions, etc.  
58  
How to operate the tuner  
4 .MULTIPATH  
The reflection characteristics of FM waves cause  
another problem called multipath–FM wave signals  
reflecting off of buildings, mountains, etc. When the

Precautions in use of the remote control  
• Be careful when handling the control, especially because it is  
small and light. Dropping or striking it hard may damage it,  
wear out the battery or cause a malfunction.  
• Keep the remote control free of moisture, dust and water. Do  
not subject it to shock.  
• Do not place the remote control unit where it will get hot,  
such as on the dashboard or near a heater vent. Allowing  
the remote control unit to overheat may warp its case or  
cause other problems.  
• Do not operate the remote control unit while driving because  
doing so could cause an accident.  
• When using the remote control, point it directly at the remote  
control light receptor.  
• The light receptor may not operate correctly if it is exposed to  
bright light such as direct sunlight.  
• Be sure to press the [SOURCE] button on the main unit for  
more than two seconds to shut it down before leaving the  
car, or the car battery may be run down. When the main unit  
is shut down, the remote control will not work.  
• Remove the batteries from the remote control unit whenever  
it is not to be used for a long time.  
Cleaning the remote control  
• Use a dry cloth to keep the unit clean. If the remote control  
unit gets extremely dirty, clean it with a cloth moistened in  
dilute liquid detergent. Do not use alcohol or thinner; these  
compounds may damage the finish.  
• In no event should benzine or thinner be used. These  
substances will damage the case or finish.
