2. 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 play¬
back may not be possible. If moisture forms
on the disc, wipe it off with a soft cloth. If mois¬
ture forms on the optical parts of the player,
do not use the player for about one hour. The
condensation will disappear naturally allow¬
ing normal 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.
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital de¬
vice, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

protection against harmful interference in a resi¬
dential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radi¬
ate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
