•Disconnect the unit from any power sources before cleaning.
•To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully 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 groove
to collect dust and microscopic debris so gently wiping with a soft cloth should
remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of
the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on
reproduction quality. Never use chemicals such as record sprays, anti-static
sprays, benzene or thinners to clean compact discs.
•These chemicals can irreparably damage the disc’s surface.
•Discs should be returned to their cases after use. This avoids serious scratches
that could cause the Laser pickup to skip.
•Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperature for
extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures can warp the disc.
•Do not stick paper or write anything with a ballpoint pen on the label side of
the disc.
