PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING DISC
- NOTICE:
- Copy-controlled CDs cannot be used.
- Some CD-Rs and CD-RWs are not playable as a result of: 1) the type of recording method used, 2) the type of disc, 3) scratches, 4) contamination, or 5) the disc being in the vehicle for an extended amount of time, leading to deterioration.
- CD-Rs and CD-RWs that have not been finalized cannot be played.
- When handling a disc, be careful not to put fingerprints, stains or scratches on the disc.
- When holding a disc, pinch the center hole and edge of the disc with your fingers. Face the printed side upward.
- If a disc is ejected by pressing the eject button and left partially ejected for an extended period of time, the disc may become deformed and unusable.
- A disc may not be able to be ejected or the player may become damaged if: 1) cellophane tape, stickers, CD-R labels or rental CD labels are attached; or 2) residue from removed tape, stickers or labels remain.
- Avoid direct sunlight when storing discs as they may become deformed and unusable.
- Do not use uniquely-shaped discs as they may damage the player.
- Do not use discs where part of the recording surface is transparent or translucent. If used, the disc may become unable to be inserted, ejected and played normally.
- HINT:
- Just as condensation fogs the vehicle's windows during wet or cold weather, condensation may also form inside the player. If condensation forms, CD skipping or playback stoppage may occur. Ventilate or dehumidify the vehicle for a while before using the player.
- If the player vibrates severely due to driving on a rough road, the CD may skip.

"BLUETOOTH" OUTLINE |
![]() |
"Bluetooth" is a trademark owned by Bluetooth SIG. Inc.
"Bluetooth" is a new wireless connection technology that uses the 2.4 GHz frequency band. This makes it possible to connect a cellular phone ("Bluetooth" compatible phone*) to the radio receiver (the "Bluetooth" system is built in), and use the handsfree function of the cellular phone, even if it is in a pocket or bag. As a result, it is not necessary to use a connector attached directly to the cellular phone.
*: Some versions of "Bluetooth" compatible cellular phones may not function.- HINT:
- The communication performance of "Bluetooth" may vary depending on obstructions or radio wave conditions between communication devices, electromagnetic radiation, communication device sensitivity, or antenna capacity.
ASL (AUTOMATIC SOUND LEVELIZER) FUNCTION OUTLINE |
The ASL function automatically adjusts the sound data in order to enable the listener to hear the sound of the audio system clearly even when vehicle noise increases (as vehicle noise increases, the volume is turned up, etc.).
Vehicle speed signals are received from the combination meter and used for the ASL.
