CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
• Disconnect the system from AC power before cleaning the exterior of the unit with a soft dust cloth.
HANDLING CDs
• Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold by the edges, or by one edge and the hole.
• Do not affix labels or adhesive tape to the label surfaces. Also, do not scratch or damage the label.
• Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
CLEANING CDs
• Dirty discs can cause poor sound quality. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft
cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.
• If a disc becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then
remove any water drops with a dry cloth.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic agents on discs. Also, never clean discs with benzene,
thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to the disc surface.
TAPE CARE
• Don’t expose cassette tapes to sunlight or store in hot places. High temperatures may warp the shell or
damage the tape itself.
• Keep cassette tapes in their boxes when not in use.
• Cassette tapes can be erased by magnetic fields produced by magnets, electric motors, electrical trans-
formers, and other devices. Keep tapes away from magnets and magnetic fields.
CLEANING THE TAPE HEADS
Iron oxide particles from the magnetic tape can build up on the parts that come in contact with the tape.
These deposits can cause incomplete erasure, muffled playback sound, and might prevent automatic
stop.
To clean a cassette deck, open the compartment door, push the PLAY button and gently clean the heads,
capstan, and pinch wheel with a head cleaner.
Always unplug the power cord before cleaning, and allow 30 minutes drying time when using a liquid
cleaner.
Clean heads after every 25 hours of use.
• Demagnetize the head occasionally with a head demagnetizing cassette (available from many audio
equipment stores).
• Never use any metal objects on or near the tape heads.
• Do not allow any cleaning material to fall into the tape assembly.
