Maintenance

Cleaning the Cabinet

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.

Cleaning Discs

• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

Do not use solvents such as benzine,

thinner, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray intended for analog records.

Cleaning the CD lens

After prolonged use, dirt or dust may accumulate at the CD lens. To ensure good playback quality, clean the CD lens with Philips CD Lens Cleaner or any commercially available cleaner. Follow the instructions supplied with cleaner.

Cleaning the Heads and the Tape Paths

To ensure good recording and playback quality, clean the heads, the capstan(s), and pressure roller(s) after every 50 hours of tape operation.

Use a cotton swab slightly moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol.

You can also clean the heads by playing a cleaning tape once.

Demagnetizing the heads

Use a demagnetizing tape available at your dealer.
