Maintenance
  How to clean the connectors
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the 
connectors.
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe 
the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth 
moistened with alcohol, being careful not to 
damage the connectors.
 Connector
 Moisture condensation
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 receiver 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.
  Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not 
touch its recording surface.
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.Center holder

More about this receiver
Basic operations 
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.
Selecting the sources
  When no disc is loaded in the receiver, “CD” 
cannot be selected.
  Without connecting to the SIRIUS radio or 
CD changer, “SIRIUS” or “CD-CH” cannot 
be selected.
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, a previously 
preset station is erased when a new station is 
stored in the same preset number.
Disc operations 
General
  This receiver has been designed to reproduce 
CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/
CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), 
MP3 and WMA format.
  When a disc has been loaded, selecting “CD” 
for the playback source starts disc play.
Inserting a disc
  When a disc is inserted upside down, the 
control panel moves down, and the disc 
automatically ejects from the loading slot.
  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.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
  Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
  This receiver can play back only the files of 
the same type which is first detected if a disc 
includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and 
MP3/WMA files.
  This receiver 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 receiver because of their disc 
characteristics, and for the following causes:
  – Discs are dirty or scratched.
  – Moisture condensation occurs on the lens 
inside the receiver.
  – The pickup lens inside the receiver 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 
(stain, scratch, warp, 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 humidity may cause malfunctions or 
damage to discs.
Playing an MP3/WMA disc
  This receiver can play back MP3/WMA files 
with the extension code  or  
(regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).
  This receiver can show the names of albums, 
artists (performer), and ID3 Tag (Version 1.0, 
1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files and for 
WMA files.
