Care And Maintenance
Handle your CDs carefully, and they will last a long time.
Compact Discs
• Only CDs bearing this mark can be used with
this Unit.
• Continued use of irregularly shaped CDs
(heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the
Unit.
• Remove the CD from its case by holding it at
the edges while pressing the case's center hole
lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the CD, or
bend the CD.
• Put the CD back in its case after use to prevent
warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the CD
when placing it back in the case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature
extremes, and moisture.
• A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD is
dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line
from center to edge.
CAUTION: Do not use any solvent (for example,
conventional record cleaner, spray thinner, ben-
zine, etc.) to clean a CD.
Moisture Condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
Unit in the following cases:
• After turning on heating in the room.
• In a damp room.
• If the Unit is brought directly from a cold to
a warm place.
Should this occur, the Unit may malfunction. If
this happens, leave it turned on for a few hours
until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC
power cord, and then plug it in again.
General Notes
To ensure top performance, keep your CDs and the mechanism clean.
• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.
• Keep the CD holder closed when not in use.
Cassette Tapes
• If a tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or
caught in the cassette. Take up the slack by
inserting a pencil in one of the reels and rotat-
ing in the right direction.
• Do not touch the tape surface.
• Do not store the tape:
- In dusty places
- In direct sunlight or heat
- In damp areas
- On a TV or speaker
- Near a magnet
Cassette Deck
• If the heads, capstan, or pinch-roller in the Cassette Deck
become dirty, you may experience:
- Loss of sound quality
- Discontinuous sound
-Fading
- Incomplete erasure
- Difficulty recording
• Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a cotton
swab moistened with alcohol.
• If the heads become magnetized, the Unit will produce noise or
lose high frequency notes.
