Maintenance

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.

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.

Connector

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 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 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.

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

Center holder 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.

Do not use the following discs:

Sticker

Warped disc

Sticker residue Disc

Stick-on label

More about this unit

Basic operations

Turning on the power

• By pressing CD or FM/AM on the unit, you can also turn on the power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.

Turning off the power

• If you turn off the power while listening to a disc, disc play will start from where playback has been stopped previously, next time you turn on the power.

Tuner operations

Storing stations in memory

• During SSM search...

– All previously stored stations are erased and stations are stored newly.

– Received stations are preset in No. 1

(lowest frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).

– When SSM is over, the station stored in

No. 1 will be automatically tuned in.

• When storing a station manually, a previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.

Disc operations

Caution for DualDisc playback

• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital

Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non-

DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.

General

• This unit has been designed to reproduce

CDs, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/ CD-RWs

(Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA) format.

• When a disc has been loaded, selecting “CD” for the playback source starts disc play.

Inserting a disc

• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc automatically ejects.

• Do not insert 8 cm (3-3/16") discs (single CD) and unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into the loading slot.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• This unit can play back multi-session discs; however, unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, and for the following causes:

– Discs are dirty or scratched.

– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the unit.

– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

– CD-R or CD-RW on which the files are written with “Packet Write” method.

– There are improper recording conditions

(missing data, etc.) or media conditions

(stain, scratch, warp, etc.).

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.

• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:

– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal stuck to the surface.

– Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an ink jet printer.

Using these discs under high temperatures or high humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to discs.

Changing the source

• If you change the source, playback also stops

(without ejecting the disc).

Next time you select “CD” for the playback source, disc play starts from where it has been stopped previously.

Ejecting a disc

• If the ejected disc is not removed within

15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted again into the loading slot to protect it from dust. (Disc will not play this time.)

General settings—PSM

• If you change the “AMP GAIN” setting from

“HIGH PWR” to “LOW PWR” while the volume level is set higher than “VOL 30,” the unit automatically changes the volume level to “VOL 30.”
