Maintenance  
How to clean the connectors  
To keep discs clean  
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors.  
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe the  
connectors with a cotton swab or cloth moistened with  
alcohol, being careful not to damage 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.  
• 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.  
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 unit in  
the following cases:  
• After starting the heater in the car.  
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.  
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this  
case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a  
few hours until the moisture evaporates.  
Do not use the following discs:  
Warped disc  
Sticker  
How to handle discs  
Sticker residue  
Center holder  
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.  
Stick-on label  
Unusual shape  
• 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).  
Single CD (8 cm disc)  
• Make sure to store discs into the cases after use.

Turning on the power  
Caution for DualDisc playback  
• By pressing SRC on the unit, you can also turn on the  
power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.  
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply  
with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard.  
Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on  
this product may not be recommended.  
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.  
General  
• This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD  
Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs (Rewritable)  
in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3/WMA/AAC formats.  
• When a disc is inserted upside down, “PLEASE” and  
“EJECT” appear alternately on the display. Press 0 to  
eject the disc.  
FM/AM/RDS  
Storing stations in memory  
• During SSM search...  
– 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 stations, the previously preset stations  
are erased and stations are stored newly.  
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3/WMA/  
AAC disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.  
Ejecting a disc  
• If the ejected disc is not removed within 15 seconds,  
the disc is automatically inserted again into the  
loading slot to protect it from dust. Playback starts  
automatically.  
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 correctly.  
• If a Traffic Announcement is received by TA Standby  
Reception, the volume level automatically changes to  
the preset level (TA VOL) if the current level is lower  
than the preset level.  
• When Alternative Frequency Reception is activated  
(with AF selected), Network-Tracking Reception is  
also activated automatically. On the other hand,  
Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated  
without deactivating Alternative Frequency  
Reception. (See pages 26 and 27.)  
• After ejecting a disc, “NO DISC” appears and you  
cannot operate some of the buttons. Insert another  
disc or press SRC to select another playback source.  
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.  
• This unit can play back only files of the same type  
which are first detected if a disc includes both audio  
CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA/AAC 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, or for the  
following reasons:  
• If you want to know more about RDS, visit
