CASSETTE DECK CARE

Use a clean soft cloth moistened with plain lukewarm water and wrung dry. Never use benzol, benzene or other strong chemical cleaners since these could damage the finish or your unit. It is important that no liquid reaches the inside of the unit.

To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your stereo system from the AC power plug when cleaning.

COMPACT DISC

Handling Disc

Although the music tracks in the disc are covered with a protective layer, it is still advisable to treat the disc carefully. Ensure that you always pick up discs by the edge, and put them back in their holders immediately after use.

CLEANING DISC

Cleaning will not normally be necessary. However, should fingerprints, dust or dirt appear, you can wipe them off with a soft, lint-free cloth. Wipe the disc in a straight line from center to edge. You can moisten the disc first with ordinary tap water if necessary.
