Moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player in the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
- If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the CD player may malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.
How to handle discs
When removing a disc from its case, press down the center holder of the case and lift the disc out, holding it by the edges.
Center holder
• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not touch its record
When storing a disc into its case, gently insert the disc around the center holder (with the printed surface facing up).
- Make sure to store discs into the cases after use.
To keep discs clean
A dirty disc may not play correctly. If a disc does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.
- Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean discs.
To play new discs
New discs may have some rough spots around the inner and outer edges. If such a disc is used, this unit may reject the disc.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

More about this unit
Basic operations
Turning on the power
- By pressing SOURCE on the unit, you can also turn on the power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.
Turning off the power
- If you turn off the power while listening to a disc, disc play will start from where playback has been stopped previously, next time you turn on the power.
Tuner operations
Storing stations in memory
- During SSM search...
- All previously stored stations are erased and stations are stored newly.
– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).
- When SSM is over, the station stored in No. 1 will be automatically tuned in.
- When storing a station manually, the previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.
FM RDS operations
- Network-Tracking Reception requires two types of RDS signals—PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency) to work correctly. Without receiving these data correctly, Network-Tracking Reception will not operate correctly.
-
If a Traffic Announcement is received by TA Standby Reception, the volume level automatically changes to the preset level (TA VOL) if the current level is lower than the preset level.
-
When Alternative Frequency Reception is activated (with AF selected), Network-Tracking Reception is also activated automatically. On the other hand, Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Frequency Reception. (See page 12.)
- If you want to know more about RDS, visit «http://www.rds.org.uk».
Disc operations
Caution for DualDisc playback
- The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.
General
- This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA formats.
- MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words “file” and “track” are used interchangeably) are recorded in “folders.”
- When a disc has been loaded, selecting “DISC” for the playback source starts disc play.
Inserting a disc
- When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc automatically ejects.
- Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into the loading slot.
Playing a disc
- While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.
To be continued...
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
- Use only "finalized" CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
- This unit can play back only files of the same type which are first detected if a disc includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files.
- This unit can play back multi-session discs; however, unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.
- Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for the following reasons:
- Discs are dirty or scratched.
- Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the unit.
- The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
- CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are written with “Packet Write” method.
- There are improper recording conditions (missing data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched, warped, etc.).
- CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.
- Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
- Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal stuck to the surface.
- Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an ink jet printer.
Using these discs under high temperatures or high humidities may cause malfunctions or damage to the unit.
Playing an MP3/WMA disc
- This unit can recognize a total of 512 files, of 200 folders, and of 8 hierarchies.
- This unit can play back files recorded in VBR (variable bit rate).
Files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy in elapsed time display, and do not show the actual elapsed time. Especially, after performing the search function, this difference becomes noticeable.
- This unit cannot play back the following files:
- MP3 files encoded with MP3i and MP3 PRO format.
- MP3 files encoded in an inappropriate format.
- MP3 files encoded with Layer 1/2.
- WMA files encoded with lossless, professional, and voice format.
- WMA files which are not based upon Windows Media® Audio.
- WMA files copy-protected with DRM.
- Files which have the data such as WAVE, ATRAC3, etc.
- The search function works but search speed is not constant.
Changing the source
- If you change the source, playback also stops (without ejecting the disc).
Next time you select “DISC” for the playback source, disc play starts from where it has been stopped previously.
Ejecting a disc
- If the ejected disc is not removed within 15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted again into the loading slot to protect it from dust. (Disc will not play this time.)
General settings—PSM
- If you change the “AMP GAIN” setting from “HIGH PWR” to “LOW PWR” while the volume level is set higher than “VOL 30,” the unit automatically changes the volume level to “VOL 30.”
Troubleshooting
What appears to be trouble is not always serious. Check the following points before calling a service center.
| Symptoms | Remedies/Causes |
| General | Sound cannot be heard from the speakers. | Adjust the volume to the optimum level.Check the cords and connections. |
| The unit does not work at all. | Reset the unit (see page 2). |
| FM/AM | SSM automatic presetting does not work. | Store stations manually. |
| Static noise while listening to the radio. | Connect the aerial firmly. |
| Disc playback | Disc cannot be played back. | Insert the disc correctly. |
| CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played back.Tracks on the CD-R/CD-RW cannot be skipped. | Insert a finalized CD-R/CD-RW.Finalize the CD-R/CD-RW with the component which you used for recording. |
| Disc can be neither played back nor ejected. | Unlock the disc (see page 10).Eject the disc forcibly (see page 2). |
| Disc sound is sometimes interrupted. | Stop playback while driving on rough roads.Change the disc.Check the cords and connections. |
| “NO DISC” appears on the display. | Insert a playable disc into the loading slot. |
To be continued...
| Symptoms | Remedies/Causes |
| MP3/WMA playback | Disc cannot be played back. | Use a disc with MP3/WMA tracks recorded in the format compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2, Romeo, or Joliet.Add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to the file names. |
| Noise is generated. | Skip to another track or change the disc. (Do not add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to non-MP3 or WMA tracks.) |
| A longer readout time is required (“CHECK” keeps flashing on the display). | Do not use too many hierarchies and folders. |
| Tracks do not play back in the order you have intended them to play. | Playback order is determined when the files are recorded. |
| Elapsed playing time is not correct. | This sometimes occurs during play. This is caused by how the tracks are recorded on the disc. |
| “NO FILES” appears on the display. | Insert a disc that contains MP3/WMA tracks. |
| Correct characters are not displayed (e.g. album name). | This unit can only display alphabets (upper case), numbers, and a limited number of symbols. |
