How to use the M MODE button  
If you press M MODE, the unit goes into  
functions mode, then the number buttons and  
5/buttons work as different function buttons.  
The following methods are used to make the  
explanations simple and easy-to-understand:  
• Some related tips and notes are explained in  
“More about this unit” (see pages 25 and 26).  
• Button operations are mainly explained with  
the illustrations as follows:  
Ex.: When number button 2 works as  
MO (monaural) button.  
Press briefly.  
Press repeatedly.  
Press either one.  
Time countdown indicator  
To use these buttons for their original  
functions again after pressing M MODE,  
wait for 5 seconds without pressing any of these  
buttons until the functions mode is cleared.  
• Pressing M MODE again also clears the  
functions mode.  
Press and hold until  
your desired response  
begins.

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.  
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 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:  
Stick-on
