Lens Fogging
When you turn on the car heater in cold weather,
dew or condensation may form on the lens in the
CD player of the unit. Called lens fogging, this
condesnation on the lens may not allow CDs to
play. In such a situation, remove the disc and wait
for the condensation to evaporate. If the unit still

· When replacing a fuse, only use a new fuse with
the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong
rating may cause your unit to malfunction.
· Do not apply excessive force to the open
faceplate or place objects on it. Doing so will

About ODD (Offset Dual Differential) D/A
System
You can enjoy high quality sound play when
playing music CDs with the ODD D/A System
enabled. ODD D/A System has two built-in D/A
converters and each D/A converter processes D/A
conversion seperately on the front left and right
channel. Since digital processing is performed for
each channel seperately, noise occurance from
interference between channels is completely
suppressed and the seperation of audio sound
output from two channels is distinguished and
clear. Also, the ODD/A System produces the data
by which the sound data is offset on the minus side
and converts the two signals (original and offset
data) to the analog signal, which has less noise and
distortion, by the synthetic process.
However, ODD D/A System will be disabled if the
following settings are selected.
- When "2ZONE" of <Audio Setup> (page 11) is
"ON".
- When <Bypass Control> (page 16) is "Bypass".
