CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC
PLAYER AND DISCS Use only compact discs labeled as
shown. CD −R (CD −Recordable), CD −
RW (CD −Re −writable) and personal
computer use CD −ROMs may not be
playable on your compact disc player.
Your compact disc player is intended
for use with 12cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
Extremely high temperatures can keep
your compact disc player from working.
On hot days, use the air conditioning
to cool the vehicle interior before you
listen to a disc.
Bumpy roads or other vibrations may
make your compact disc player skip.
If moisture gets into your compact disc
player, you may not hear any sound
even though your compact disc player
appears to be working. Remove the
disc from the player and wait until it
dries.

Your automatic changer or compact
disc player cannot play special shaped
or low −quality compact discs such as
those shown here. Do not use them as
the player could be damaged.
Handle compact discs carefully, espe-
cially when you are inserting them.
Hold them on the edge and do not
bend them. Avoid getting fingerprints
on them, particularly on the shiny side.
Dirt, scrapes, warping, pin holes, or
other disc damage could cause the
player to skip or to repeat a section of
a track. (To see a pin hole, hold the
disc up to the light.)
Remove discs from the compact disc
player when you are not listening to
them. Store them in their plastic cases
away from moisture, heat, and direct
sunlight.
To clean a compact disc: Wipe it with a
soft, lint −free cloth that has been damp-
ened with water. Wipe in a straight line
from the center to the edge of the disc
(not in circles). Dry it with another soft,
lint −free cloth. Do not use a conventional
record cleaner or anti −static device.
CAUTION
Compact disc players use an invisible
laser beam which could cause hazard-
ous radiation exposure if directed out-
side the unit. Be sure to operate the
player correctly.
