Interior Comfort Audio System l l l l l l l l Do not stick paper or tape on the CD. Avoid scratching the reverse side (the side without a label). The disc may not eject resulting in a malfunction. Dust, finger smudges, and dirt can decrease the amount of light reflected from the signal surface, thus affecting sound quality. If the CD should become soiled, gently wipe it with a soft cloth from the center of the CD to the edge. Do not use record sprays, antistatic agents, or household spray cleaners. Volatile chemicals such as benzine and thinner can also damage the surface of the CD and must not be used. Anything that can damage, warp, or fog plastic should never be used to clean CDs. Insert discs one by one. If two discs are inserted at the same time, the system may not operate properly. The CD player/In-dash CD changer ejects the CD if the CD is inserted upside down. Also dirty and/or defective CDs may be ejected. An 8 cm (3 in) CD cannot be played in the CD player even if an 8 cm (3 in) CD adapter is used. The In-dash CD changer is specially made for 12 cm (5 in) CDs. An 8 cm (3 in) CD cannot be played in the In-dash CD changer even if an 8 cm (3 in) CD adapter is used. Do not insert cleaning discs in the CD player/In-dash CD changer. Do not insert any disc with a peel-off seal affixed to it. Handling the CD player (MP3 compatible type) l l l l l l l l This unit may not be able to play certain CD-R/CD-RWs made using a computer or music CD recorder due to disc characteristics, scratches, smudges, dirt, etc., or due to dust or condensation on the lens inside the unit. Storing CDs in the vehicle exposed to direct sunlight or high temperature may damage the CD-R/CD-RWs, and make them unplayable. CD-R/CD-RW exceeding 700 MB cannot be played. This unit may not be able to play certain discs made using a computer due to the application (writing software) setting used. (For details, consult the store where the application was purchased.) It is possible that certain text data, such as titles, recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW may not be displayed when musical data (CD-DA) is playing. The period from when a CD-RW is inserted to when it begins playing is longer than a normal CD or CD-R. Completely read the instruction manual and cautions for CD-R/CD-RWs. Do not use discs with cellophane tape adhering, partially peeled off labels, or adhesive material exuding from the edges of the CD label. Also, do not use discs with a commercially-available CD-R label affixed. The disc may not eject resulting in a malfunction. 6-16
