Additional Information

Precautions

• If your car has been parked in direct sunlight,

allow the unit to cool off before operating it.

• Power antenna (aerial) will extend automatically

while the unit is operating.

Moisture condensation

On a rainy day or in a very damp area, moisture

condensation may occur inside the lenses and display

of the unit. Should this occur, the unit will not operate

properly. In such a case, remove the disc and wait for

about an hour until the moisture has evaporated.

To maintain high sound quality

Be careful not to splash juice or other soft drinks

onto the unit or discs.

Notes on discs

• To keep a disc clean, do not touch its surface.

Handle the disc by its edge.

• Keep your discs in their cases or disc magazines

when not in use.

• Do not subject discs to heat/high temperature.

Avoid leaving them in a parked car or on a

dashboard/rear tray.

• Do not attach labels, or use discs with sticky

ink/residue. Such discs may stop spinning when

used, causing a malfunction, or may ruin the disc.

•

Do not use any discs with labels or stickers attached.

The following malfunctions may result from using

such discs:

– Inability to eject a disc (due to a label or sticker

peeling off and jamming the eject mechanism).

– Inability to read audio data correctly (e.g.,

playback skipping, or no playback) due to heat

shrinking of a sticker or label causing a disc to

warp.

•

Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,

star) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to

do so may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.

• You cannot play 8 cm (3

/4 in) CDs.

• Before playing, clean the discs

with a commercially available

cleaning cloth. Wipe each disc

from the center out. Do not

use solvents such as benzine,

thinner, commercially available

cleaners, or antistatic spray

intended for analog discs.

Notes on CD-R/CD-RW discs

• Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs (depending on the

equipment used for its recording or the condition

of the disc) may not play on this unit.

• You cannot play a CD-R/a CD-RW that is not

ﬁnalized.

• The unit is compatible with the ISO 9660 level

1/ level 2 format, Joliet/Romeo in the expansion

format, and Multi Session.

• The maximum number of:

– folders (albums): 150 (including root and empty

folders).

– ﬁles (tracks) and folders contained in a disc:

300 (if a folder/ﬁle names contain many

characters, this number may become less than

300).

– displayable characters for a folder/ﬁle name is

32 (Joliet), or 64 (Romeo).

• When the disc is recorded in Multi Session,

only the ﬁrst track of the ﬁrst session format

is recognized and played (any other format is

skipped). The priority of the format is CD-DA and

MP3/WMA.

– When the ﬁrst track is a CD-DA, only CD-DA

of the ﬁrst session is played.

– When the ﬁrst track is not a CD-DA, the MP3/

WMA session is played. If the disc has no

data in any of these formats, “NO MUSIC” is

displayed.

Maintenance

Replacing the lithium battery of the

card remote commander

Under normal conditions, the battery will last

approximately 1 year. (The service life may be

shorter, depending on the conditions of use.)

When the battery becomes weak, the range of the

card remote commander becomes shorter.

contact.

• Be sure to observe the correct polarity when

installing the battery.

• Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers,

otherwise a short-circuit may occur.

WARNING

Battery may explode if mistreated.

Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of

in ﬁre.

Fuse replacement

When replacing the fuse, be
