NOTE:
Do not use a device such as a card reader or hard drive as the device or your files may be damaged.
Do not connect your USB flash memory device using a hub.
Do not use an extension cable to the USB adapter cable equipped with your vehicle.
Do not keep a USB flash memory device in the vehicle. Direct sunlight and high heat will damage it.

Protecting Your Discs
General Information
When using CD-R or CD-RW discs, use only high quality discs labeled for audio use.
When recording a CD-R or CD-RW, the recording must be closed for it to be used by the disc changer.
When using DVD-R/RW discs, they should meet DVD verification standards.
Play only standard, round, 5-inch (12 cm) discs. Smaller or odd- shaped discs may jam in the drive or cause other problems.
Handle your discs properly to prevent damage and skipping.
274
Do not use discs with adhesive labels. The label can curl up and cause the disc to jam in the unit.
Protecting Discs When a disc is not being played, store it in its case to protect it from dust and other contamination. To prevent warpage, keep discs out of direct sunlight and extreme heat.
To clean a disc, use a clean soft cloth. Wipe across the disc from the center to the outside edge.
A new disc may be rough on the inner and outer edges. The small plastic pieces causing this roughness can flake off and fall on the recording surface of the disc, causing skipping or other problems. Remove these pieces by rubbing the inner and outer edges with the side of a pencil or pen.
Never try to insert foreign objects in the disc changer.
Handle a disc by its edges; never touch either surface. Do not place stabilizer rings or labels on the disc. These, along with contamination from finger prints, liquids, and felt- tip pens, can cause the disc to not play properly, or possibly jam in the drive.
10/08/04 19:28:50 31SJA660_280
Additional Information on Recommended Discs The in-dash disc player/changer has a sophisticated and delicate mechanism. If you insert a damaged disc as indicated in this section, it may become stuck inside and damage the audio unit.
Examples of these discs are shown to the right:

Radio Theft Protection
Your vehicle’s audio system may disable itself if it is disconnected from electrical power for any reason. To make it work again, you must enter a specific five-digit code with the preset buttons. Because there are hundreds of number combinations possible from the five digits, making the system work without knowing the exact code is nearly impossible.
You should have received a radio code card that lists your audio system’s code and serial numbers. It is best to store this card in a safe place at home. In addition, you should write the audio system’s serial number in this owner’s manual.
If you lose the card, you must obtain the code number from your dealer. To do this, you will need the audio system’s serial number.
280
’’ in the upper
If your vehicle’s battery is discon- nected or goes dead, or the radio fuse is removed, the audio system will disable itself. If this happens, you will see ‘‘ display the next time you turn on the system. Use the preset buttons to enter the code. The code is located on the radio code card included in your owner’s manual kit. When it is entered correctly, the radio will start playing.
NOTE: If you have a My Acura account, you can retrieve the anti-theft code online.
If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
five-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have ten tries to
enter the correct code. If you are
unsuccessful in ten attempts, you
must then leave the system on for 1
hour before trying again.
The system will retain your AM and FM presets even if power is disconnected.

Keyless Memory Settings The vehicle ‘‘senses’’ the driver number, based on which keyless remote is used to unlock the vehicle. If two drivers with remotes approach the vehicle at the same time, the welcome display and related settings are based on which remote the vehicle first ‘‘senses.’’
If both remotes come within
NOTE: range simultaneously, the ‘‘Welcome’’ display may be unpredictable.
The compass system uses the driver number (as recognized by the multi- information display) to personalize the compass system. For example, if Driver 1 unlocks the vehicle, the ‘‘Driver 1’’ personal address book and other navigation settings are automatically loaded when the vehicle is started. There is no way to change from one driver’s settings to another while driving.
