This device has been manufactured to be compatible with software bearing the following logo marks.
Do not clean discs with chemical solutions, such as record sprays, antistatic sprays, antistatic liquids, benzene, or thinners.
After using a disc, put the disc back in its original case to prevent disc scratches.
Hold discs by their edges or within the center hole to prevent damage to disc surfaces.

When using CD-R/CD-RW discs, differences in disc reading and playing times may occur depending on the disc manufacturer, production method and the recording method used.
Clean fingerprints and dust off the disc surface (coated side) with a soft cloth.
The use of CD-R/CD-RW discs attached with labels may result in disc slot jams or difficulties in disc removal. Such discs may also result in noise while playing.
Some CD-R/CD-RW discs may not properly operate depending on the disc manufacturer, production method and the recording method used. If problems persist, trying using a different CD as continued use may result in malfunctions.
The performance of this product may differ depending on the CDRW Drive Software.
Copy-protected CDs such as Stype CDs may not function in the device. DATA discs cannot be played. (However, such discs may still operate but will do so abnormally.)

If the disc is straddled on the disc slot without removal for 10 seconds, the disc will automatically be re-inserted into the disc player.
Only genuine audio CDs are supported. Other discs may result in recognition failure. (e.g. copy CDR, CDs with labels)

Using an iPod®

iPod® is a registered trademark of Apple Inc.
In order to use the iPod® with your vehicle’s Infotainment System, you must use a dedicated iPod® cable. (the cable that is supplied when purchasing iPod®/iPhone® products)
If the iPod® is connected to the vehicle while it is playing, a high pitch sound could occur for approximately 1-2 seconds immediately after connecting. If possible, connect the iPod® to the vehicle with the iPod® stopped/paused.
When the vehicle ignition is set to ACC or ON, connecting the iPod® through the iPod® cable will charge the iPod® through the car Infotainment System.
When connecting with the iPod® cable, make sure to fully insert the jack to prevent communication interference.
When the EQ features of an external device, such as the iPod®, and the Infotainment System are both active, EQ effects could overlap and cause sound deterioration and distortion. Whenever possible, turn off the EQ feature within the external device when it is connected to the Infotainment System.
Noise may occur when an iPod® or AUX device is connected. When such devices are not being used, disconnect the device for storage.
When the iPod® or AUX device power is connected to the power jack, playing the external device may result in noise. In such cases, disconnect the power connection before use.
Skipping or improper operation may occur depending on the characteristics of your iPod®/iPhone® device.
If your iPhone® is connected to both the Bluetooth® Wireless Technology and USB, the sound may not be properly played. In your iPhone®, select the Dock connector or Bluetooth® Wireless Technology to change the sound output (source).
iPod® mode cannot be operated when the iPod® cannot be recognized due to the playing of versions that do not support communication protocols, cases of iPod® abnormalities and defects.
For fifth generation iPod® Nano devices, the iPod® may not be recognized when the battery level is low. Please charge the iPod® for use.
The search/play orders shown within the iPod® device may differ from the orders shown within the Infotainment System.
If the iPod® malfunctions due to an iPod® device defect, reset the iPod® and try again. (To learn more, refer to your iPod® manual)
Some iPod®s may not sync with the System depending on the version. If the Media is removed before the Media is recognized, then the system may not properly restore the previously operated mode. (iPad^® charging is not supported.)
Use an iPod® cable shorter than 1 meter in length such as the one originally supplied with a new iPod®, longer cables may lead to the Infotainment System not recognizing the iPod®.
