1. PRECAUTIONS  
1. When the inside of the car is very cold and  
the player is used soon after switching on  
the heater, moisture may form on the disc  
or the optical parts of the player and proper  
playback may not be possible. If moisture  
forms on the disc, wipe it off with a soft  
cloth. If moisture forms on the optical parts  
of the player, do not use the player for about  
one hour and the condensation will disap-  
pear naturally to allow normal operation.

To protect the system, this unit has been equipped with self diagnostic functions. If a fault  
arises, a warning is issued by various error displays. Follow the corrective measures and  
remove the fault.  
Error Display  
Corrective Measure  
This error display indicates that a fault has arisen in the  
mechanism of the source unit or CD/MD changer (for  
example, the disc cannot be changed or ejected).  
Check the source unit and CD/MD changer.  
This error display indicates that the pickup focus is off  
because of a scratched disc or some other factor during  
source unit or CD/MD changer play.  
Check the compact disc and minidisc.  
This indicates that the CD’s and MD’s TOC (table of  
contents) cannot be read, for example because the  
selected disc is upside-down.
