Care and maintenance
Compact Disc Care
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.
Finger prints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface with
a soft cloth. 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. 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.
Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or
abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit. Never write
on or stick any labels to the surface of compact discs.
Care of the cabinet
If the cabinet becomes dusty, wipe it with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use any wax,
polish sprays or abrasive cleaners on the cabinet.
Caution
Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
