4. PRECAUTIONS  
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 naturally allowing  
normal operation.  
2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which  
cause severe vibration may cause the sound  
to skip.  
3. This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even  
in the event that trouble arises, never open  
the case, disassemble the unit, or lubricate  
the rotating parts.  
CAUTION  
USE OF CONTROLS, ADJUSTMENTS, OR  
PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER  
THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN, MAY  
RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION  
EXPOSURE.  
THE COMPACT DISC PLAYER SHOULD NOT

Handling Compact Discs  
CD player or it may damage the CD player.  
Use only compact discs bearing the  
mark.  
or  
• 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.  
Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other  
specially shaped compact discs.  
Some CDs recorded in CD-R/CD-RW mode  
may not be usable.  
Handling  
• Do not use commercially available CD  
protection sheets or discs equipped with  
stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc or  
cause breakdown of the internal mechanism.  
• Compared to ordinary music CDs, CD-R and  
CD-RW discs are both easily affected by high  
temperature and humidity and some of CD-R  
and CD-RW discs may not be played.  
Therefore, do not leave them for a long time in  
the car.  
Storage  
• Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight  
or any heat source.  
Ball-point pen  
• 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  
roughness from the edge of the disc.  
• Do not expose compact discs to excess  
humidity or dust.  
• Do not expose compact discs to direct heat  
from heaters.  
Roughness  
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.  
• 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 get it back out of the

CD/MP3/WMA Operations  
2. Files without MP3/WMA data will not play.  
The indication “:” appears in the play  
time display if you attempt to play files  
without MP3/WMA data.  
MP3/WMA  
What is MP3?  
MP3 is an audio compression method and  
classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.  
This audio compression method has penetrated  
into PC users and become a standard format.  
Logical format (File system)  
1. When writing MP3/WMA file on a CD-R disc  
or CD-RW disc, please select “ISO9660 level  
1, 2 or JOLIET or Romeo” as the writing  
software format. Normal play may not be  
possible if the disc is recorded on another  
format.  
This MP3 features the original audio data  
compression to about 10 percent of its initial  
size with a high sound quality. This means that  
about 10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-  
R disc or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening  
time without having to change CDs.  
2. The folder name and file name can be  
displayed as the title during MP3/WMA play  
but the title must be within 128 single byte  
alphabetical letters and numerals (including  
an extension).  
What is WMA?  
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media  
Audio, an audio file format developed by  
Microsoft Corporation.  
3. Do not affix a name to a file inside a folder  
having the same name.
