NOTE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CAUTION
• This unit is designed to operate on 12 volts DC, NEGATIVE ground electrical systems only.
• When fuse replacement is necessary, use only a 15 amp fuse. Do not replace with a higher rated fuse.
If the fuse blows often, carefully check all electrical connections for any short circuits and have your
car's voltage regulator checked also.
• Do not install the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or hot air discharged from the car heater.
• Do not expose the unit to water or moisture.
• To avoid damaging the unit, never insert anything other than a compact disc into the disc slot.
• This unit should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except qualified service personnel.
If servicing is required, return the unit to an authorized SANYO mobile audio dealer.
• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may

COMPACT DISC CARE
Dirt, dust, scratches and warpage can cause a deterioration in the sound or intermittent skipping some tracks
during play.

• This unit has been designed to play compact discs

bearing the identification logo shown on the left.
Discs bearing other types of identification logos
may not play properly.
• Playback may not be possible due to the
characteristics of the CD recorder or the CD-R/RW
used, or due to scratches or dirt on the CD.
• For some CD-R/RWs, depending on the quality
of their recording or storage media used, playback
may not be possible due to deterioration of
recorded of material.

• Do not use non-conventional discs such as

heart-shaped, octagonal discs, etc.
The player could be damaged.

• Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped

from the signal surface of the disc (glossy side) with
a soft cloth.
Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the
outside of the disc. Unlike conventional records,
the compact disc has no grooves to collect dust and
Label Side debris. Small dust particles will have no effect on
reproduction quality.

• Do not insert a disc which is cracked into the unit.

• Do not apply paper or write anything on the disc.

• To prevent warping the disc, do not expose it to

direct sunlight, high humidity or high temperatures
for extended periods.

-3-
 • Never use chemicals such as record cleaning
sprays, antistatic sprays or fluids, benzene or
thinner to clean compact discs. These chemicals
will permanently damage the plastic surface of
the disc.
• When not using the disc player for extended
periods, remove the compact disc and return it to
Benzene Thinner Cleaning spray
the plastic storage case. This will protect the disc
from dust and exposure to the sun.

• Mixed-mode CDs
This product can only play audio tracks on mixed-mode CDs.
The initial track contains non-audio data, and so it does not produce any sound.
Playback will start from the next track.
(Mixed-mode CDs are CDs which contain both non-audio data and audio tracks.)

• CDs containing copy control protection technology.

It is possible that some CDs with copy control protection (added to prevent computer
duplication) may not play on this unit.
This is due to the CD with copy control protection not conforming to CD standards and is
not due to a malfunction of this unit.
If there are any problems playing a CD with copy control protection, consult the store where
the CD was purchased.

CAUTIONS REGARDING REMOTE CONTROLLER

• Do not leave the remote controller in an area exposed to direct sunlight, such as on the dashboard or
steering wheel. The remote controller may deform because of the heat. (Be especially careful of the
dashboard exposed to direct sunlight in the summer, as it will become extremely hot.)
• When the vehicle is parked in an area exposed to direct sunlight, remove the remote controller from its
holder and put it in a shaded spot such as the glove box.
• Under direct sunlight, signal reception from the remote controller becomes weakens. If this happens, hold
the remote controller close to the signal receptor on the front panel.

HINTS FOR PROPER AND SAFE OPERATION
• Condensation
Moisture can condense on the optical lens of the CD player during humid or rainy days, or after the car
heater is turned on. If this occurs the disc player may not function properly. To remedy the situation,
remove the disc from the unit and wait approximately one hour. This should allow the moisture to
evaporate and restore normal operation.

• Temperature Consideration
The unit may not operate correctly in extremely hot or cold temperatures. Avoid exposing the unit to
extremely high or low temperatures.

• Interruptions in the sound (skipping)

When the car is driven on very rough surfaces, the sound from the CD player may skip and be interrupted.
This will not cause any damage to the disc or the player. If this occurs, wait for the road surface to
improve before using the CD player.

• Safety
For safer driving, keep the volume at a moderate level to enable you to hear outside sounds (such as
emergency vehicle sirens).

• Cleaning the unit

Clean the unit with a soft, dry cloth. Stains should be removed by wiping the surfaces with a soft cloth
immersed in lukewarm water and wrung dry. Never use strong chemicals or solvents. These will damage
the finish of the unit.

• Disc care
When not using the disc player for extended periods, remove the compact disc and return it to the
plastic storage case. Do not leave a disc partially ejected from the player.

• Servicing
Should a problem develop, do not open the unit or try to repair it yourself. If servicing is required, bring
the unit to a Sanyo Authorized Service Center.
