Suzuki Grand Vitara: Audio Systems
There are two types of audio system as shown below:
Type 1
AM/FM/XM CD PLAYER WITH CD CHANGER CONTROL
Type 2
AM/FM/XM 6-CD PLAYER WITH CD CHANGER CONTROL
Precautions
• 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 playback may not be possible. If moisture forms on the disc, wipe it
off with a soft cloth. If moisture forms on the optical parts of the player, do
not use the player for about one hour, this will allow the condensation to disappear
normally.
• Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause severe vibrations may cause sound
to skip.
• 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. Please bring
the unit to an authorized SUZUKI dealer or a Clarion service Department.
Cautions on Handling
This unit has been designed specifically for playback of compact discs bearing the mark (A). No other discs can be played.
To remove the compact disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges. Always handle the compact disc by the edges.
Never touch the surface.
To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft cloth, and wipe in a straight line from the center of the compact disc to the circumference.
New discs may have some roughness around the edges. The unit may not work or the sound may skip if such discs are used. Use a ball-point pen (B), etc. to remove the roughness (C) from edges of the disc before insertion inside the unit.
Never stick labels on the surface of the compact disc or mark the surface with a pencil or pen.
Do not use any solvents such as commercially available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner to clean compact discs.
Do not use compact discs that have large scratches, are misshaped, or cracked, etc. Use of such discs will cause damage or prevent the system from operating properly.
Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight or any heat source.
NOTE:
• Do not use commercially available CD protection sheets or discs equipped with
stabilizers, etc. These may get caught in the internal mechanism and damage the
disc.
• CD-R discs may not be able to playback in this unit due to the recording conditions.
• CD-RW discs can not playback in this unit.
