 Operating Tips for CD Player

    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 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

    The  following  precautions  should  be 
observed.

y

 The CD revolves at high speed within 

the unit. Defective (cracked or badly 
bent) CDs should never be used.

y

 Do not use non-conventional discs such 

as heart-shaped, octagonal discs, etc. 
The disc may not eject resulting in a 
malfunction.

y

 If the memory portion of the CD is 

transparent or translucent, do not use the 
disc.

 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 will 
not play the CD. In addition, the disc 
may not eject resulting in a malfunction. 
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.

 When driving over uneven surfaces, the 

sound may jump.
