hot or cold weather, wait until the temperature 
in the car becomes normal before operating the 
unit.

Caution on volume setting:
Discs produce very little noise compared 
with other sources. Lower the volume 
before playing a disc to avoid damaging 
the speakers by the sudden increase of the 
output level.
Caution:
Do not insert your 
finger behind the 
control panel. 
*For safety....
  Do not raise the volume level too much, as 
this will block outside sounds, making driving 
dangerous.
  Stop the car before performing any 
complicated operations.
