How to read this manual  
How to forcibly eject a disc  
The following methods are used to made the  
explanations simple and easy-to-understand:  
• Some related tips and notes are explained in  
“More about this receiver” (see pages  
44 – 46).  
If a disc cannot be recognized by the receiver or  
cannot be ejected, ejects the disc as follows.  
1
• Button operations are mainly explained with  
the illustrations as follows:  
Press briefly.  
2
Press repeatedly.  
Press either one.  
Press and hold until  
your desired response  
begins.  
• If this does not work, reset your receiver.  
• Be careful not to drop the disc when it  
ejects.  
Press and hold both  
buttons at the same  
time.  
Caution on volume setting:  
Discs produce very little noise compared  
with other sources. Lower the volume  
before playing a disc to avoid damaging  
the speakers by the sudden increase of the  
output level.  
The following marks are used to indicate...  
: Built-in CD player operations.

How to clean the connectors  
To keep discs clean  
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the  
connectors.  
A dirty disc may not play correctly.  
If a disc does become dirty, wipe  
it with a soft cloth in a straight line  
from center to edge.  
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe  
the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth  
moistened with alcohol, being careful not to  
damage the connectors.  
• Do not use any solvent (for example,  
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,  
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.  
To play new discs  
New discs may have some rough  
spots around the inner and outer  
edges. If such a disc is used, this  
receiver may reject the disc.  
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with  
a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.  
Connector  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the  
CD player in the following cases:  
• After starting the heater in the car.  
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.  
Should this occur, the CD player may  
malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and  
leave the receiver turned on for a few hours  
until the moisture evaporates.

• While playing an audio CD: If a title has been  
assigned to the audio CD (see page 35), it will  
be shown on the display.  
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3  
or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent  
sounds.  
– All previously stored stations are erased and  
stations are stored newly.  
– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest  
frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).  
– When SSM is over, the station stored in  
No. 1 will be automatically tuned in.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play  
back on this receiver because of their disc  
characteristics, and for the following causes:  
– Discs are dirty or scratched.  
• The maximum number of characters for file/  
folder names vary among the disc format used  
(includes 4 extension characters—<.mp3> or  
<.wma>).  
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens  
inside the receiver.

– CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are  
written with “Packet Write” method.  
– Improper recording conditions (missing  
data, etc.) or media conditions (stain,  
scratch, warp, etc.).  
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time  
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower  
than that of regular CDs.  
• This receiver can recognize the total of 512  
files, of 200 folders, and of 8 hierarchies.  
• This receiver can play back the files recorded

– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal  
stuck to the surface.  
– Discs on which labels can be directly  
printed by an ink jet printer.  
Using these discs under high temperatures or  
high humidities may cause malfunctions or  
damages to discs.  
The files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy  
in elapsed time display, and do not show  
the actual elapsed time. Especially, after  
performing the search function, this difference  
becomes noticeable.  
• This receiver cannot play back the following  
files:  
– MP3 files encoded with MP3i and  
MP3 PRO format.  
– MP3 files encoded in an unappropriated  
format.
