If you frequently detach the control panel, the  
connectors will deteriorate.  
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe the  
connectors with a cotton swab or cloth moistened  
with alcohol, being careful not to damage the  
connectors.

MAINTENANCE  
Handling CDs  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the  
CD player in the following cases:  
This unit has been designed only to reproduce  
the CDs bearing the following marks.  
• After starting the heater in the car.  
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.  
Should this occur, the CD player may  
malfunction. In this case, eject the CD and leave  
the unit turned on for a few hours until the  
moisture evaporates.  
COMPACT  
DIGITAL AUDIO  
You can also play back your original CD-Rs  
(Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) on this  
receiver.  
This unit is not compatible with MP3.  
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs  
(Rewritable) can be played back only if they are  
already "finalized".  
You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-  
RWs recorded in music CD format. (However,  
they may not be played back depending on  
their characteristics or recording conditions.)  
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read  
their instructions or cautions carefully.  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played  
back on this unit because their disc  
characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if  
the player's lens is dirty.  
• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high  
temperatures or high humidity; so do not leave  
them inside your car.  
Center holder  
How to handle CDs  
When removing a CD  
from its case, press down  
the center holder of the  
case and lift the CD out,  
holding it by the edges.  
• Always hold the CD by the edges. Do not touch  
its recording surface.  
When storing a CD into its case, gently insert the  
CD around the center holder (with the printed  
surface facing up).  
• Make sure to store CDs into the cases after  
use.  
To keep CDs clean  
A dirty CD may not play  
correctly. If a CD does  
become dirty, wipe it with a  
soft cloth in a straight line  
from center to edge.  
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time.  
(This is caused by the fact that the reflectance  
of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.)  
CAUTIONS:  
• Do not insert 8 cm CDs (single CDs) into the  
loading slot. (Such CDs cannot be ejected.)  
• Do not insert any CD of unusual shape — like a  
heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a  
malfunction.  
To play new CDs  
New CDs may have some  
rough spots around the  
inner and outer edges. If  
• Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight or any heat  
source or place them in a place subject to high  
temperature and humidity. Do not leave them in  
a car.  
• Do not use any solvent (for example,  
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,  
benzine, etc.) to clean CDs.  
such a CD is used, this unit  
may reject the CD.  
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with  
a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.  
About mistracking:  
Mistracking may result from driving on extremely  
rough roads. This does not damage the unit and the  
CD, but will be annoying.  
We recommend that you stop CD play while  
driving on such rough roads.
