Precautions to observe when
handling a compact disc
Use only compact discs (CDs) that have
the mark shown in the following illustra-tion.
You may also use compact discs (CD-Rs
and CD-RWs) that have the following
marks, but you may not use some discs
if they were produced using writing meth-
ods not compatible with your vehicle’s
audio system.
. You cannot use a DualDisc in the CD
player. If you insert a DualDisc into the
player, the disc may not come out again,
possibly causing the player to malfunction. . 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. .
Skipping may occur when the CD
player is subjected to severe vibration
(for example, when the vehicle is driven
on a rough surface). . 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. . 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, benzine, alcohol, etc. . 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. . 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 on hot days. Audio
