one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water, wring well, then wipe off
the dirt. Also use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use
volatile liquids such as benzene and thinner which are harmful to
the unit.
[ Storing discs
e Discs are made of the same kinds of plastic used for conventional
analog audio records. Be careful not to allow discs to warp:
always store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding locations
with high heat or humidity, or extremely low temperatures.
Avoid leaving discs in cars, since the seat of a car in direct
sunlight can become unbelievably hot.
e Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on disc
labels.

if for some reason it should malfunction due to soiling, consult your
nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Lens cleaners for CD
