CDsUsing CDs▷Do not use self-recorded CDs with la‐
bels applied, as these can become
detached during playback due to
heat buildup and can cause irrepara‐
ble damage to the device.▷Only use round CDs with a standard diame‐
ter of 4.7 in/12 cm and do not play CDs
with an adapter, e.g., single CDs; otherwise,
the CDs or the adapter may jam and no lon‐
ger eject. ◀
General malfunctions
▷The CD players have been optimized for
performance in vehicles. In some instances
they may be more sensitive to faulty CDs
than stationary devices would be.▷If a CD cannot be played, first check if it has
been inserted correctly.
Humidity
High levels of humidity can lead to condensa‐
tion on the CD or the laser's scan lens, and tem‐
porarily prevent playback.
Malfunctions with particular CDs If malfunctions occur only with particular CDs,
this can be due to one of the following causes:
Self-recorded CDs
▷Possible reasons for malfunctions with self-
recorded CDs are inconsistent data creation
or recording processes, or poor quality or
old age of the blank CD.▷Only label CDs on the upper side with a pen
intended for this purpose.
Damage
▷Avoid fingerprints, dust, scratches and
moisture.▷Store CDs in a sleeve.▷Do not subject CDs to temperatures over
50 ℃/122 ℉, high humidity, or direct sun‐
light.
