 If the memory portion of the CD is 

transparent or translucent, do not use the 

disc.

Transparent



 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.



 CDs bearing the logo shown in the 

illustration can be played. No other discs 

can be played.



 Use discs that have been legitimately 

produced. If illegally-copied discs such 

as pirated discs are used, the system may 

not operate properly.



 Be sure never to touch the signal surface 

when handling the CDs. Pick up a CD 

by grasping the outer edge or the edge of 

the hole and the outer edge.



 Do not stick paper or tape on the CD. 

Avoid scratching the reverse side (the 

side without a label). The disc may not 

eject resulting in a malfunction.



 Dust, finger smudges, and dirt can 

decrease the amount of light reflected 

from the signal surface, thus affecting 

sound quality. If the CD should become 

soiled, gently wipe it with a soft cloth 

from the center of the CD to the edge.



 Do not use record sprays, antistatic 

agents, or household spray cleaners. 

Volatile chemicals such as benzine and 

thinner can also damage the surface of 

the CD and must not be used. Anything 

that can damage, warp, or fog plastic 

should never be used to clean CDs.
