Should this occur, the player will not operate properly until the
moisture has evaporated.
l The unit is designed with a vibration dampening CD mechanism to
minimize interruption of disc play due to normal vibration in a moving
vehicle. When driving on very rough roads, however, occasional
sound skips may occur. This will not scratch or damage the disc and
normal play will resume when the rough conditions cease.
As with any compact disc player, the compact disc section of this sound
system does require a minimum of maintenance to keep it in good
working condition. The following simple care and maintenance
suggestions should be followed to prevent malfunctions of the compact
disc system.
Handling Compact Discs:
Dirt, dust, scratches, and warpage can cause skips in the playback and
deterioration of sound quality. Please follow these guidelines to take
care of your compact discs:
l Use only compact discs with the mark .
l Fingerprints, dust, and dirt should be carefully wiped off the disc’s
playing surface (shiny side) with a soft cloth. Wipe in a straight
motion from the inside to the outside of the disc.
l Never use chemicals such as record sprays, household cleaners or
thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals can irreparably
damage the disc’s surface.
l Discs should be kept in their storage cases when not in use.
l Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high
humidity for extended periods.
l Do not stick paper, tape, or labels on the disc surfaces nor write on
them with any type of marker.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The radio portion of your new sound system does not require any
maintenance. We recommend you keep this manual for reference
to the many features found in this unit as well as how to set the clock.
The compact disc player section also requires no routine maintenance,
but proper understanding of its use and handling will help you obtain
maximum enjoyment of its capabilities. The following points should be
observed:
l When cleaning the interior of the vehicle, do not get water or cleaning
fluids on the unit.
l The CD player is a precision instrument and will not operate properly
in extreme hot or cold. In case of such conditions, wait until the
interior temperature of the vehicle reaches a normal temperature
before using the player.
l If the temperature inside the player gets too hot, a protective circuit
will automatically stop play of the disc. In this case, allow the unit to
cool off before operating the player again.
l Never insert anything other than a 5" (12 cm) compact disc into the
player as the mechanism can be damaged by foreign objects.
l Do not attempt to use 3" (8 cm) CD-Single discs in this unit, either with
or without an adaptor, as damage to the player and/or disc may occur.
Such damage will not be covered by the Warranty on this product.
l When not using the disc player, always remove the compact disc. Do
not leave an ejected disc sitting in the disc slot as this can expose it
to sunlight and other causes of damage.
l Do not attempt to open the unit chassis. There are no user
serviceable parts or adjustments inside.
l When the vehicle warms up during cold weather or under damp
conditions, moisture may condense on the lens of the disc player.
