Precautions to observe when handling a compact disc (CD)
Use only compact discs (CDs) that have the mark shown below. CD-
RWs cannot be used. Also, some CD-Rs cannot be played.
HB5062AA

In cold and/or rainy weather, dew can form inside the CD player, pre-
venting 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 vibra-
tion (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, contamina-
tion 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, benzene, 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 hot days.
