Interior Comfort Audio System M Operating Tips for CD Player/InDash CD Changer Condensation phenomenon Immediately after turning on the heater when the vehicle is cold, the CD or optical components (prism and lens) in the CD player/changer may become clouded with condensation. At this time, the CD will eject immediately when placed in the unit. A clouded CD can be corrected simply by wiping it with a soft cloth. Clouded optical components will clear naturally in about an hour. Wait for normal operation to return before attempting to use the unit. Handling the CD player/In-dash CD changer The following precautions should be observed. • Do not spill any liquid on the audio system. • A new CD may have rough edges on its inner and outer perimeters. If a disc with rough edges is used, proper setting will not be possible and the CD player/changer will not play the CD. Remove the rough edges in advance by using a ball-point pen or pencil as shown below. To remove the rough edges, rub the side of the pen or pencil against the inner and outer perimeter of the CD. • The CD revolves at high speed within the unit. Defective (cracked or badly bent) CDs should never be used. • Do not use non-conventional discs such as heart-shaped, octagonal discs, etc. The CD player/changer could be damaged. • Do not insert any objects, other than CDs, into the slot. 6-19
