shiny, unprinted side of the disc.
• Treat the disc carefully. Handle the disc only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to come in contact with the
shiny, unprinted side of the disc.• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case
and lift it out, holding it carefully by the edges.
• Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers etc., to the disc label.
• Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth.
• Never use detergents or adhesive cleaners to clean the disc.
• When cleaning the disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the disc to the edge. Never wipe in a circular motion.
• 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.
• If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
• If the disc skips or is stuck on a track, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).
CLEANING THE UNIT
• To prevent fire or shock hazards, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when cleaning.
• If the cabinet becomes dusty, wipe it with a soft, dry dust cloth. Do not use any wax or polish sprays on the
cabinet.
• Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.
• If the front panel becomes dirty or smudged with fingerprints it may be cleaned with a soft cloth, slightly dampened
with a mild soap and water solution. Never use abrasive cloths or polishes, as these will mar the finish of your unit.
Caution: never allow any water or other liquids to enter the unit while cleaning.
