Avoiding condensation problems
Condensation may form inside the player if it is brought into a warm room from a cold environment, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the condensation won’t damage the player, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using.
Care and maintenance
Cleaning external surfaces
Before cleaning turn off and disconnect the unit from the power outlet. To clean, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution made by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinners which may damage the surfaces.
Moving the unit
If you need to move the unit, first switch it off and unplug from the wall outlet. Never lift or move the unit during playback or

Handling discs
When holding CDs of any type, take care not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge. Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback and/or recording perfor- mance. Take care also not to scratch the label side of the disc. Although not as fragile as the recording side, scratches can still result in a disc becoming unusable.
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge. If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzene, thinners or other cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl records.
