Maintenance
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
unit may reject the disc.
Connector
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges
with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.
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 unit turned on for a few hours until the
moisture evaporates.
How to handle discs
When removing a disc from
its case, press down the center
holder of the case and lift the
disc out, holding it by the
edges.
Center holder
• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not
touch its recording surface.
When storing a disc into its case, gently insert
the disc around the center holder (with the
printed surface facing up).
• Make sure to store discs into the cases after
use.
Do not use the following discs:

More about this unit
General
Basic operations
• This unit has been designed to reproduce
CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/
CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA),
MP3 and WMA format.
Turning on the power
• By pressing CD or FM/AM on the unit, you
can also turn on the power.
• When a disc has been loaded, selecting “CD”
for the playback source starts disc play.
Turning off the power
• If you turn off the power while listening to a
disc, disc play will start from where playback
has been stopped previously, next time you
turn on the power.
Inserting a disc
• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc
automatically ejects.
• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and
unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into
the loading slot.
Tuner operations
Storing stations in memory
• During SSM search...
– 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.
• When storing a station manually, a previously
preset station is erased when a new station is
stored in the same preset number.
Playing a disc
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3
or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent
sounds.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can play back only the files of the
same type which is first detected if a disc
includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and
MP3/WMA files.
• This unit can play back multi-session discs;
however, unclosed sessions will be skipped
while playing.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play
back on this unit because of their disc
characteristics, and for the following causes:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens
inside the unit.
FM RDS operations
• Network-Tracking Reception requires two
types of RDS signals—PI (Programme
Identification) and AF (Alternative
Frequency) to work correctly. Without
receiving these data correctly, Network-
Tracking Reception will not operate.
• If a Traffic Announcement is received, the
volume level (TA Volume) automatically
changes to the preset level.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are
written with “Packet Write” method.
– There are 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.
Disc operations
Caution for DualDisc playback
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does
not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital
Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non-

Troubleshooting
What appears to be trouble is not always serious. Check the following points before calling a service
center.
Symptoms
Remedies
• Sound cannot be heard from the
speakers.
• Adjust the volume to the optimum level.
• Check the cords and connections.
• The unit does not work at all.
Reset the unit (see page 2).
Store stations manually.
• SSM automatic presetting does not
work.
• Static noise while listening to the
radio.
Connect the aerial firmly.
Insert the disc correctly.
• Disc automatically ejects.
• CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played back. • Insert a finalized CD-R/CD-RW.
• Tracks on the CD-R/CD-RW cannot
be skipped.
• Finalize the CD-R/CD-RW with the component
which you used for recording.
• Disc can be neither played back nor
ejected.
• Unlock the disc (see page 13).
• Eject the disc forcibly (see page 2).
• Disc sound is sometimes interrupted. • Stop playback while driving on rough roads.
• Use an unscratched disc.
• Check the cords and connections.
• “NO DISC” appears on the display.
• Disc cannot be played back.
• Insert a disc into the loading slot correctly.
• Use a disc with MP3/WMA tracks recorded in
the format compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1,
Level 2, Romeo, or Joliet.
• Add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to
the file names.
• Noise is generated.
Skip to another track or change the disc. (Do not
add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to non-
MP3 or WMA tracks.)
• A longer readout time is required
(“CHECK” keeps flashing on the
display).
Do not use too many hierarchies and folders.
• Tracks cannot be played back as you
have intended them to play.
⇒ Playback order is determined when the files
are recorded.
• Elapsed playing time is not correct.
⇒ This sometimes occurs during play. This is
caused by how the tracks are recorded on the
disc.
• “NO FILES” appears on the display.
Insert a disc that contains MP3/WMA tracks.
• Correct characters are not displayed
(e.g. album name).
⇒ This unit can only display alphabets (capital:
