CD player and care
• Use only CDs that carry either of the
two Compact Disc Digital Audio marks
shown below.
• Use only normal, round CDs. If you
insert irregular, non-round, shaped CDs
they may jam in the CD player or not
play properly.
• Check all CDs for cracks, scratches or
warping before playing. CDs that are
cracked, scratched or warped may not
play properly. Do not use such discs.
• Avoid touching the recorded (non-print-
ed side) surface when handling the
disc.
• Store discs in their cases when not in
use.
• Keep discs out of direct sunlight and do
not expose the discs to high tempera-
tures.
• Do not attach labels, write on or apply
chemicals to the surface of the discs.
• To clean dirt from a CD, wipe the disc
with a soft cloth outward from the cen-
ter of the disc.
• If the heater is used in cold weather,
moisture may form on components
inside the CD player. Condensation
may cause the CD player not to operate
properly. If you think that condensation
is a problem, turn off the CD player for
an hour or so to allow the CD player to
dry out and wipe any damp discs with a
soft cloth to remove the moisture.
• Road shocks may interrupt CD play-
back.
• Never put a label, tape or scratches on
a disc. These will prevent the disc from
being played.
CD-R and CD-RW discs
• CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been
subject to the “finalize process” (a
process that allows them to be played
back on a conventional CD player) can
not be played back.
• It may not be possible to play back CD-
R/CD-RW discs recorded on a music
CD recorder or a personal computer
because of disc characteristics, scratch-
es or dirt on the disc, or dirt, condensa-
tion, etc. on the lens of this unit.
• Playback of discs recorded on a person-
al computer may not be possible
depending on the application settings
and the environment. Please record
with the correct format. (For details,
contact the manufacturer of the appli-
cation.)
• Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs may
become impossible in case of direct
exposure to sunlight, high tempera-
tures, or the storage conditions in the
car.
• Titles and other text information record-
ed on a CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be
displayed by this product (in the case of
audio data (CD-DA)).
• This product conforms to the track skip
function of the CD-R/CD-RW disc.
• If you insert a CD-RW disc into this
product, load time to playback will be
longer than for a conventional CD or
CD-R disc.
• Read the precautions accompanying
the CD-R/CD-RW discs before use.

played back using the DDCD (Double
Density CD) system.
