Care And Maintenance
Handle your CDs carefully, and they will last a long time.
Compact Discs
• Only CDs bearing this mark can
be used with this System. How-
ever, continued use of irregular
shape CDs (heart-shape, octago-
nal, etc.) can damage the System.
• Do not stick a paper tape or a seal
on the reading side or the label
side.
If you do so, the CD may not be
unloaded, or the System can be
damaged.
• Remove the CD from its case by
holding it at the edges while press-
ing the case's center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of
the CD, or bend the CD.
• Put the CD back in its case after
use to prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the sur-
face of the CD when placing it
back in the case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,
temperature extremes, and mois-
ture.
• A dirty CD may not play cor-
rectly. If a CD does become dirty,
wipe it with a soft cloth in a
straight line from center to edge.
CAUTION:
• Do not use any solvent (for example, con-
ventional record cleaner, spray thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean a CD.
Moisture Condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the System in the
following cases:
• After turning on heating in the room.
• In a damp room.
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm
place.
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this
case, leave the System turned on for a few hours until the
moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, and then
plug it in again.

your CDs and the mechanism clean.
• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.
• Keep the System's Panel closed when not in use.
Cleaning the unit
