Flip Down Panel  
2. PRECAUTIONS  
This unit uses a flip-down structure that makes possible large-size displays.  
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.  
4. When closing the FLIP DOWN PANEL, do  
CAUTION  
When opening and closing the FLIP DOWN  
PANEL, be careful not to catch your fingers.  
They could be injured.  
not press the [OPEN] button.  
5. Strong impacts to the operating or display  
section can cause damage or deformation.  
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.  
6. If the FLIP DOWN PANEL does not open  
fully, gently open it with your hand.  
1. Always use this unit with the FLIP DOWN  
PANEL closed.  
2. Do not force operations or use this device  
abnormally when opening or closing the FLIP  
DOWN PANEL.  
3. Do not use the FLIP DOWN PANEL as a tray  
to place objects on when it is open.  
This equipment has been tested and found to  
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,  
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  
CAUTION  
USE OF CONTROLS, ADJUSTMENTS, OR  
PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER  
THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN, MAY  
RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION  
EXPOSURE.  
These limits are designed to provide reasonable  
protection against harmful interference in a  
residential installation.  
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate  
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and  
used in accordance with the instructions, may  
cause harmful interference to radio  
communications. However, there is no guarantee  
that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation.  
Handling Compact Discs  
THE COMPACT DISC PLAYER and MINI DISC  
PLAYER SHOULD NOT BE ADJUSTED OR  
REPAIRED BY ANYONE EXCEPT PROPERLY  
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.  
Do not use compact discs that have large  
scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of  
such discs may cause misoperation or damage.  
Use only compact discs bearing the  
or  
mark.  
Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other  
specially shaped compact discs.  
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT  
EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY THE  
MANUFACTURER FOR COMPLIANCE COULD  
VOID THE USER’S AUTHORITY TO OPERATE  
THE EQUIPMENT.  
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.  
Some CDs recorded in CD-R/CD-RW mode  
may not be usable.  
If this equipment does cause harmful interference  
to radio or television reception, which can be  
determined by turning the equipment off and on,  
the user is encouraged to consult the dealer or  
an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
• 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.  
Handling  
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.  
INFORMATION FOR USERS:.  
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS  
PRODUCT NOT APPROVED BY THE  
MANUFACTURER WILL VOID THE  
WARRANTY AND WILL VIOLATE FCC

or any heat source.  
• Do not expose compact discs to excess  
humidity or dust.  
• New discs may have some roughness around  
the edges. If such

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.  
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.  
• After using special compact disc cleaner, let  
the compact disc dry off well before playing it.  
Never stick labels on the surface of the compact  
disc or mark the surface with a pencil or pen.  
• 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 player or it may damage  
the CD player.
