Operating Tips for CD Player/In-
Dash CD Changer

Condensation phenomenon

Immediately after turning on the heater 
when the vehicle is cold, the CD or optical 
components (prism and lens) in the CD 
player/changer may become clouded with 
condensation. At this time, the CD will 
eject immediately when placed in the unit. 
A clouded CD can be corrected simply by 
wiping it with a soft cloth. Clouded 
optical components will clear naturally in 
about an hour. Wait for normal operation 
to return before attempting to use the unit.

Handling the CD player/In-dash CD 
changer

The following precautions should be 
observed.

•

Do not spill any liquid on the audio 
system.

•

Do not insert any objects, other than 
CDs, into the slot.

•

The CD revolves at high speed within 
the unit. Defective (cracked or badly 
bent) CDs should never be used.

•

Do not use non-conventional discs such 
as heart-shaped, octagonal discs, etc. 
The CD player/changer could be 
damaged.

•

A new CD may have rough edges on its 
inner and outer perimeters. If a disc 
with rough edges is used, proper setting 
will not be possible and the CD player/
changer will not play the CD. Remove 
the rough edges in advance by using a 
ball-point pen or pencil as shown 
below. To remove the rough edges, rub 
the side of the pen or pencil against the 
inner and outer perimeter of the CD.
