How to clean the connectors
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the
connectors.
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe
the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth
moistened with alcohol, being careful not to
damage the connectors.

Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
DVD/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 DVD/CD player may
malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and
leave the unit turned on for a few hours until
the moisture evaporates.
To clean the unit
When the unit is very dirty, wipe with a
well-wrung cloth dipped in a kitchen cleanser
(neutral) thinned by water and then go over the
same surface with a dry cloth.
(Since there is the possibility of water drops
getting inside of the unit, do not directly apply
cleanser to the surface.)

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 become dirty, wipe it
with a soft cloth in a straight line
from center to edge.
• Do not use any solvent (for
example, conventional record cleaner, spray,
thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean discs.
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.
Do not use the following discs:
Warped disc
