Handling discs

This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs,
CD-Rs (Recordable), and CD-RWs (Rewritable).
• This unit is not compatible with MP3 discs.
How to handle discs
When removing a disc
from its case, press down the
center holder of the case and lift
the disc out, holding it by the
edges.
• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not
touch its recording surface.
When storing a disc into its case, gently
insert the disc around the center holder (with the
printed surface facing up).
• Make sure to store discs into the cases after use.
To keep discs clean
A dirty disc may not play correctly.
If a disc does becomes dirty, wipe
it with a soft cloth in a straight line
from center to edge.
To play new discs
New discs may have some rough
spots around the inner and outer
edges. If such a disc is used, this
unit may reject the disc.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with
a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
CD player in the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the disc player may malfunction.
In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned
on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.

– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than
that of regular CDs.
• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high
temperatures or high humidity, so do not leave
them inside your car.
• Do not use following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal
– Discs on which labels can be directly printed
Using these discs under high temperatures or
high humidity may cause malfunctions or
damage to discs. For example,
– Stickers or labels may shrink and warp a disc.
– Stickers or labels may peel off so discs
– Print on discs may get sticky.

printable discs carefully.
