Also, while driving, keep the volume to a level at which external sounds can be heard.  
1. When the inside of the car is very  
Front Panel / Generalities  
cold and the player is used soon after  
switching on the heater, moisture may  
form on the disc or the optical parts of the  
player and proper playback may not be  
possible. If moisture forms on the disc,  
wipe it off with a soft cloth. If moisture  
forms on the optical parts of the player,  
do not use the player for about one hour.  
The condensation will disappear naturally  
allowing normal operation.  
For a longer service life, be sure to read the  
following cautions.  
Do not allow any liquids on the set from  
drinks, umbrellas, etc. Doing so may  
damage the internal circuitry.  
Do not disassemble or modify the set in  
any way. Doing so may result in damage.  
Do not let cigarettes burn the display.  
Doing so may damage or deform the  
body.  
2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which  
cause severe vibration may cause the  
sound to skip.  
If a problem should occur, have the set  
inspected at your store of purchase.  
3. This unit uses a precision mechanism.  
Even in the event that trouble arises,  
never open the case, disassemble the  
unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.  
Cleaning the body  
Use a soft, dry cloth and gently wipe off  
the dirt.  
For tough dirt, apply some neutral  
detergent diluted in water to a soft cloth,  
wipe off the dirt gently, then wipe again  
with a dry cloth.  
Do not use benzene, thinner, car cleaner,  
etc., as these substances may damage  
the body or cause the paint to peel. Also,  
leaving rubber or plastic products in  
contact with the body for long periods of  
time may cause stains.
