Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched
or warped can cause the sound to
skip and the unit to operate
incorrectly, resulting in worsened
sound quality. Take the following
precautions to prevent your CDs from
getting scratched or damaged.
Handling CDs
• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD
(i.e., the side opposite the label) when
holding it.
• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.
Storing CDs
• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct
sunlight – such as a car seat or above the
fascia panel (dashboard) – or other hot
places.
• If you will not be using the unit for a long
period of time remove the CDs from the unit
and put them back in their cases. Do not
stack CDs that have been removed from
their cases or prop them against something.
Cleaning CDs
If a CD has become dirty, wipe it off gently
using a commercially available cleaning cloth
or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the
centre of the disc and moving outward. Do
not clean CDs with conventional record
cleaners, anti-static formulas, or chemicals
such as paint thinner or benzene.
Checking New CDs for Burrs
When playing a new CD for the first time,
check that there are not any burrs stuck to
the perimeter of the disc or in the central
hole. CDs with burrs stuck on them may not
load properly or may skip whilst playing.
Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a
similar utensil.
Do Not Load CD Accessories in Slot
Do not use commercially available CD
accessories that can be loaded into the CD
slot, such as stabilisers, protective sheets, or
CD cleaning discs, since they can cause the
unit to malfunction.
Removing the CD
Only remove the CD from the machine in a
horizontal direction. You may damage the
surface of the CD if you try pulling it down as
it ejects.
Do Not Load 8-cm (3-in.) CDs in the
CD slot
If you try to load an 8-cm CD with its adapter
into the unit, the adapter might separate
from the CD and damage the unit.
Do Not Use Special Shape CDs
Be sure to use round shape CDs only for this
unit and do not use any special shape CDs.
Use of special shape CDs may cause the
unit to malfunction.
Do Not Use Non-Standard CD’s
• Using non-standard Video CD’s may cause
electronic noise to appear on the screen, or
otherwise prevent your equipment from
functioning properly.
• Be sure to use CDs with disc marks
only for this unit.
About Video CD Formats
Your CD player can play version 2.0 discs.
However, the PBC (Play Back Control)
function will not operate.
