Audio Precautions to observe when handling a compact disc (CD) Use only compact discs (CDs) that have the mark shown below. CDRWs cannot be used. Also, some CD-Rs cannot be played. 5 HB5062AA D In cold and/or rainy weather, dew can form inside the CD player, preventing normal operation. If this happens, eject the CD and wait for the player to dry out. D Skipping may occur when the CD player is subjected to severe vibration (for example, when the vehicle is driven on a rough surface). D To remove a disc from the case, press the center of the case and hold both edges of the disc. If the disc surface is touched directly, contamination could cause poor tone quality. Do not touch the disc surface. D Use a clean disc whenever possible. If there are deposits, wipe the disc surface from the center outward with a dry, soft cloth. Be sure not to use a hard cloth, thinner, benzene, alcohol, etc. D Do not use any disc that is scratched, deformed, or cracked. Also, do not use any disc that has a non-standard shape (for example, a heart shape). Malfunctions or problems might result. D A disc is vulnerable to heat. Never keep it either in places exposed to direct sunlight, near heaters or in vehicles parked in the sun or hot days. - CONTINUED - 5-39
