CD Care & Maintenance
Handling CDs
Hold a CD by its edges. Avoid touching the recorded
side of the disc. To remove a CD from its storage case,
press down on the center retention mechanism of the
case and lift the disc out by its edges.
Cleaning CDs
Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe off any ngerprints and
dust from the playing surface of the disc. Wipe in a
straight line radially from the center to the outside
edge of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains
will not affect playback quality.
•Never use chemicals such as record sprays, anti-
static sprays, benzene, or thinners to clean your
CDs.
•To reduce the risk of scratches, always put CDs
back in their case after use.
•Do not subject CDs to prolonged exposure to direct
sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures.
•Do not place stickers or labels on either side of the
CD.
Cleaning the Lens of the CD Player
A dirty lens can cause CD playback to skip. If the lens
is very dirty, the CD may not work at all. Unplug the
power supply, open the CD door, and clean the lens as
follows:
•For Dust or Dry Particles—use a camera lens brush/
blower to blow on the lens a few times. Then, wipe
the lens gently with the brush, and blow on the lens
once more.
•For Fingerprints—use a dry cotton swab to gently
wipe the lens in a straight line radially from the
center to the outside edge.

from overheating. These openings should never be blocked by placing
www.naxa.com Page 19
the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or
rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer in-
structions have been adhered to.
10. Power Sources: This product should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the rating label. If you are not sure of the
type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or
local power company. For products intended to operate from battery
power or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. Grounding or Polarization: This product may be equipped with a po-
larized alternating-current line plug that has one blade wider than
the other. This plug will only t into the power outlet in one direction.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into
the outlet, try reversing the direction of the plug. If the plug should
still fail to t, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
12. Power-Cord Protection: Power supply cords should be routed so that
they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon
or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, conve-
nience receptacles, and at the point which they exit from the product.

overload protection as the original plug as specied by the manufac-
turer.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding: If an outside antenna is connected to
the product, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS/NFPA 70 provides in-
formation with regard to proper grounding of the mast and support-
ing structure,grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode (see gure).
15. Lightning: For added protection for this product, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a
lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long pe-
riods of time. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning
or power-line surges.
16. Power Lines: An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power cir-
cuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When in-
stalling an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to
keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them
might be fatal.
Page 20 Naxa Electronics
17. Overloading: Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or inte-
gral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of re or elec-
tric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry: Never push objects of any kind into this prod-
uct through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short-out parts that could result in a re or electric shock. Never spill

the product has been exposed to rain or water; d) if the product does
not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as
improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualied technician to restore the
product to its normal operation; e) if the product has been dropped or
damaged in any way; f) when the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance—this indicates a need for service.
21. Replacement Parts: When replacement parts are required, be sure
that your service technician has used replacement parts specied
by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in re, electric shock, or
other hazards.
22. Safety Check: Upon completion of any service or repairs to this
product,ask the service technician to perform safety checks to ensure
that the product is in proper operating condition.
23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting: The product should be mounted to a wall or
