Taking care of your LIFESTYLE® system

Caring for your system may include:

•Cleaning the system’s enclosures

•Cleaning your compact discs and DVDs

•Replacing the remote control batteries

Cleaning the media center

•Use only a soft, dry cloth to clean the outside of the media center.

•Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives.

•Do not allow liquids to spill into any openings.

•Do not use any sprays near the system.

Cleaning the speakers

•Clean the surface of your speakers with a soft, damp cloth. You can use an ammonia-free window cleaner on a soft cloth to maintain the finish.

•Do not use any sprays near the system. Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives.

•Do not allow liquids to spill into any openings.

•The speaker grille panels require no special care, although you may vacuum them carefully, if necessary.

Cleaning discs

•Handle discs by their edges to prevent fingerprints and scratches (Figure 19).

•To remove stains or fingerprints from the surface of a disc, use a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Wipe in straight movements from the center of the disc to the outside. Do not use any chemical products; they can damage the disc.

•Do not write on or attach labels to the surface of the disc.

•To minimize exposure to dust and dirt, replace discs in their cases after use. Store each disc in its case, out of direct sunlight, high temperatures, and humidity.
