Caring for Compact Discs
• Treat the compact disc carefully. Handle the com-
pact disc only by its edges. Never allow your
fingers to come in contact with the shiny, unprint-
ed side of the compact disc.
• Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to
the disc label.
• Clean the compact disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use deter-
gents or abrasive cleaners to clean the compact disc. If necessary, use a CD clean-
ing kit.
• If a disc skips or gets stuck on a sec-
tion of the compact disc, it is probably
dirty or damaged (scratched).
• When cleaning the compact disc,
wipe in straight lines from the center
of the compact disc to the outer edge
of the compact disc. Never wipe in
circular motions.
• This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing the identifica-
tion logo as shown here. Other discs may not conform to the CD stan-
dard and may not play properly.
• Compact discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid damage.
• Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures or
dust, etc. Prolonged exposure or extreme temperatures can warp the compact disc.
• Do not stick or write anything on either side of the compact disc. Sharp writing
instruments, or the ink, may damage the surface.
Cleaning the Unit
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source
when cleaning.
• The finish on your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other fur-
niture. Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.
• Mild soap and a damp cloth may be used on the front panel.
• Periodic cleaning of the tape heads, cap-
stan and pinch roller is necessary to main-
tain good sound reproduction. Clean them
after every 100 hours of use or less if play-
back has deteriorated. Use a cotton swab
moistened with head-cleaning solution or
isopropyl alcohol, then wipe dry with
another swab.
NOTE: Never use metal objects on or near the tape heads. Do not allow any cleaning
material to fall into the tape assembly
.
