Audio System - CD Player Information/Precautions

NUMBER: 15-120-07
DATE: 03/07/07

APPLICABILITY: All Models Equipped with an In-dash CD Changer/Player

SUBJECT:
In-dash CD Changer/Player Discs

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this bulletin is to inform of cautions concerning compact discs. There have been an increasing number of changers/players being replaced under warranty. We have found that the majority of all failures are the result of the use of damaged CDs, non-compatible user-created CDs and labels, or multiple CDs inserted at the same time jamming the player or damaging the CD. The resultant damage to the player is generally not detected until after the audio exchange has been completed.

Customers coming in with CD changer/player issues should be reminded at the time of the unit exchange that the use of CDs as described above are the potential causes of problems.

We encourage you to make a copy of the In-dash CD Changer/Player page in this bulletin and provide it to your customers when an exchange unit is installed.








EXAMPLES OF PEELING LABELS

PLEASE USE CAUTION WHEN USING YOUR GENUINE SUBARU IN-DASH CD CHANGER/PLAYER





In-dash compact disc (CD) players are a great way to enjoy crystal-clear music in your Subaru. Subaru CD players are designed to play standard 4 3/4 inch diameter CDs, which carry the "Compact Disc Digital Audio" logo.





The following CDs may cause problems when loading, playing, or ejecting due to the complexity of your CD player's internal mechanisms.
