CARE AND MAINTENANCE

COMPACT DISC CARE

• Treat the disc gently. Handle the disc only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to come in con

tact with the shiny, unprinted side of the disc.

• Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers etc., to the disc label.

• Clean the disc periodically with soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or adhesive cleaners

to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.

• If disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).

• When cleaning the disc, wipe in straight lines from the centre of the disc to the edge of the disc.

• Never wipe in circular motions.

• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and lift the disc out,

holding it gently by the edges.

• Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's recorded surface with a soft cloth.

• Unlike conventional records. compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris

so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles.

TAPE HEAD CLEANING

The tape heads, pinch roller and capstan shaft require periodic cleaning. This procedure removes

metal-oxide particles that cause wear of magnetic head and reduce the overall performance and sound

quality of the player. Switch on the power, press the Stop/Eject Key to open the cassette door, and

press the Play Key (21). Clean the tape heads, pinch roller and capstan shaft with a soft cloth or cotton

swab dampened in isopropyl alcohol or special tape head cleaner.

NOTE: Never use any metal objects on or near

the tape heads. Do not allow any cleaning

material to fall into the tape compartment.

CLEANING THE UNIT

To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when cleaning.

The surface on the unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth. Use caution when cleaning and wiping the

plastic parts.

if the speaker cabinets become dusty wipe them with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any wax or polish

sprays on the cabinets.

If the front panel becomes dirty or smudged with fingerprints it can be cleaned with a soft cloth slightly

dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Never use abrasive cloths or polishes as these will

damage the finish of your unit.

CAUTION: Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
