4. PRECAUTIONS
1. When the inside of the car is very 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 and the con-
densation will disappear naturally to allow nor-
mal operation.
2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause
severe vibration may cause the sound to skip.
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.

CAUTION
USE OF CONTROLS, ADJUSTMENTS, OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN
THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN, MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

What is MP3?
MP3 is an audio compression method and clas-
sified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards. This
audio compression method has penetrated into
PC users and become a standard format. This
MP3 features the original audio data compres-
sion to about 12 percent of its initial size with a
high quality sound. This means that about 10
music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc or
CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time with-
out having to change CDs.
When selected for play folder up down functions,
files and folders are accessed in the order in which
they were written by the CD-ROM writer.
Because of this, the order in which they are
expected to be played may not match the order in
which they are actually played. You may be able
