properly in extreme heat or cold. In this
case, wait until the temperature in the car is
more normal, then use
player. Closed
up cars in summer get very hot. If the
temperature inside the player goes above
its reference temperature, a protective
circuit automatically stops the play and
ejects the disc. In this case, open the
window to cool off the car, then start up the

5. Condensation
During cold weather, moisture drops
sometimes from on the optical lens of the
disc player after the heater is turned on.
This is called condensation. On a rainy day
or in a very damp area, moisture may
condense on the laser lenses inside the
unit. With this condensation on the lens, the
disc player cannot read the disc and

required depends on the surroundings, but
if you remove the disc from the

6. Sound Skip
If you are driving on a rough road, sound
may sometimes be skipped. It is inevitable
and will not cause any damage, disc
scratches etc.
7. Never put any other object in the insert
slot for compact discs. The inside of the
disc player is precision equipment that

8. When not using the disc player, do not
forget to remove the compact disc. Do not
l e a v e a n e j e c t e d d i s c s i t t i n g o n t h e e d g e o f
the disc player for a long time. This can
expose the disc to direct sunlight and-other
causes of warping. Keep the discs in their
cases away from direct sunlight.
9. To prevent accidents, keep the sound low

sound when driving.
10.
Do not try to open the disc player nor to
repair it. The inside of the disc player is
precision equipment, so if there is any
problem, bring it to the store where you
purchased it for servicing.

Handling the discs
Dirt, dust, scratches and deformation cause
sound skips during playback and a

How to take care of your discs:
1.
Use compact discs that have the mark
shown on the left.
2. Fingerprints and dust should be carefully
wiped off the disc’s signal surface (glossy
side) with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional
records, the compact disc has no grooves
to collect dust and microscopic debris, so
g e n t l y w i p i n g w i t h a s o f t c l o t h s h o u l d
remove most particles. Wipe in a straight
m o t i o n f r o m t h e i n s i d e t o t h e o u t s i d e o f t h e
disc. Small dust particles or light stains will

q u a l i t y .
3. Never use such chemicals as record
sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or
thinner to clean compact discs. Such
chemicals would irreparably damage the
disc’s plastic surface.
4. Discs should be put back in their cases
after use to avoid serious scratches that
could cause sound skip.
5. Do not expose discs to direct sunlight,
h i g h h u m i d i t y , o r h i g h t e m p e r a t u r e s f o r
extended periods of time. Long exposure to
high temperatures can warp the disc.
6. Do not stick paper or write anything with
a ball-point pen on the disc surface.
