Care of CDs

The sound quality of the CD player
can be reduced because of:

The CD-R quality.

The method of recording
the CD-R.

The quality of the music that has
been recorded on the CD-R.

The way the CD-R has been
handled.

Store CD-R(s) in their original cases
or other protective cases and
away from dust and direct sunlight.
The CD player scans the bottom
surface of the disc. If the surface
of a CD is damaged, such as
cracked, broken, or scratched, the
CD may not play properly or at
all. Do not touch the bottom side of
a CD while handling it; this could
damage the surface. Pick up CDs
by grasping the outer edges or
the edge of the hole and the
outer edge.

To clean a CD, use a soft lint free
cloth, or dampen a clean soft cloth
in a mild neutral detergent solution
mixed with water. Wipe the CD from
the center to the edge.

Care of The CD Player

Use a marking pen to identify CDs,
do not add labels.

Do not use CD lens cleaners; they
could damage the CD player.

Notice: If a label is added to a CD,
or more than one CD is inserted
into the slot at a time, or an
attempt is made to play scratched
or damaged CDs, the CD player
could be damaged. While using
the CD player, use only CDs in
good condition without any label,
load one CD at a time, and keep
the CD player and the loading slot
free of foreign materials, liquids,
and debris.

If an error displays, see “CD
Messages” later in this section.

Playing an MP3 CD-R Disc

Radios with the MP3 feature are
capable of playing an MP3 CD-R
disc. For more information on how to
play an MP3 CD-R disc, see Using
an MP3 later in this section.

CD Messages

If the CD ejects, it could be for
one of the following reasons:

The CD player is very hot.
When the temperature returns to
normal, the CD should play.

The road is very rough. When
the road becomes smoother,
the CD should play.

The CD is dirty, scratched, wet,
or upside down.

The air is very humid. If so, wait
about an hour and try again.

The format of the CD might not
be compatible. See Using an
MP3 later in this section.
