Care of Your CD and DVD-A Discs
If playing a CD or DVD-A disc, the sound quality can be
reduced due to disc quality, the method of recording,
the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the
way the disc has been handled. Handle them carefully.
Store disc(s) in their original cases or other protective
cases and away from direct sunlight and dust.
The CD/DVD-A player scans the bottom surface of
the disc. If the surface of a disc is damaged, such
as cracked, broken, or scratched, the disc may not play
properly or not at all. Do not touch the bottom side of
a disc while handling it; this could damage the surface.
Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the
edge of the hole and the outer edge.
If the surface of a disc is soiled, take a soft, lint free
cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral
detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it.
Make sure the wiping process starts from the center
to the edge.
Care of Your CD or DVD-A Player
Do not add any label to a disc, it could get caught in the
CD/DVD-A player. If a disc is recorded on a personal
computer and a description label is needed, label the top
of the recorded disc with a marking pen.The use of disc lens cleaners for discs is not advised,
due to the risk of contaminating the lens of the disc
optics with lubricants internal to the CD/DVD-A player
mechanism.
Notice:If a label is added to a CD, or more than
one CD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an
attempt is made to play scratched or damaged CDs,
the CD player could be damaged. While using the
CD player, use only CDs in good condition without
any label, load one CD at a time, and keep the
CD player and the loading slot free of foreign
materials, liquids, and debris.
If an error displays, see “Disc Messages” later in this
section.

Re-recording Audio CDs
If a CD has already been recorded, the radio system
will not record the contents again. If a partially recorded
CD is selected for recording, only those songs which
are not already on the HDD will be recorded.
Audio CD Song, Artist, Album and Genre
Information
Radios with HDD, contain a Gracenote®Database that
the radio uses to determine the song, artist, album
and genre information. The Gracenote
®Database allows
the radio to record an audio CD to the HDD and store
the content using song, artist, album and genre
information.
Newly released audio CDs as well as some less
common audio CDs may not be found in the Gracenote
®
Database stored on the HDD. If these audio CDs
contain CD-text, the radio will use the CD-text
information when recording the content to the HDD.
If an audio CD is not found in the Gracenote
®Database
and it does not have CD-text information, the radio
will record the audio CD with all song, artist, album and
genre names as “NO INFO”.
3-96

Songs recorded with “NO INFO” to the HDD will be hard
to sort, identify, and select. For better HDD navigation,
CDs with “NO INFO” can rst be converted to MP3
format with Tag information on a home computer and
then recorded to the HDD from an MP3 disc or
USB device.
Occasionally, the radio may nd more than one match
in Gracenote
®Database for an audio CD that has
been recorded. If this happens, the radio will display
“MultiHit” for the name information when the songs are
selected from the HDD. With a “MuliHit” song playing,
press the button below the EDIT label to bring up the list
of multiple names found in the Gracenote
®Database.
Use the Menu/Select knob to highlight and select
the correct name for the “MultiHit” recorded CD.
The Gracenote
®Database stored on your HDD can be
updated so that it includes name information for more
recently released audio CDs. See your dealer/retailer for
more information on Gracenote
®Database updates for
your HDD radio.
