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 speeds inside the player. Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
• When finished playing discs, store them in their case, not in the CO player.
CLEANING CDs
Dirty discscan 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 discswith
benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to the disc surface.
TAPE CARE
Don't expose tapes to sunlight or store in hot places. High temperatures may warp the shell or damage
the tape itself.
Keep cassettes in their boxes when not in use.
Cassette tapes can be erased by magnetic fields produced by magnets, electric motors, electrical
transformers, 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 c.an cause incomplete erasure, muffled playback sound, and might prevent
automatic stop.
Always unplug the power cord before cleaning, and
allow 30 minutes drying time when using a liquid
cleaner.
To clean the cassette tape deck, open the
compartment door, push the PLAY button and
gently clean the heads, capstan, and pinch wheel
with a head cleaner.
Clean heads after every 25 hours of use.
Cleanthese parts
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.
