Maintenance

To get the best performance from the unit, keep your discs, tapes, and mechanism clean.

Cleaning the unit

Stains on the unit

Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water- diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become damaged or have its paint peel, be careful about the following.

—DO NOT wipe it with a rough cloth.

—DO NOT wipe it strongly.

—DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.

—DO NOT apply any volatile substances such as insecticides to it.

—DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact with it for a long time.

Handling cassette tapes

If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up the slack by inserting a pencil in one of the reels and rotating.

If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or caught in the cassette.

Be careful not to touch the tape surface.

Avoid storing tapes in the following places:

—In dusty places

—In direct sunlight or heat

—In moist areas

—On a TV or speaker

—Near a magnet

Handling discs

Remove the disc from its case by

holding it at the edge while pressing the center hole lightly.

• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.

Put the disc back in its case after

use to prevent warping.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when placing it back in its case.

Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

To clean the disc

Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

DO NOT use any solvent—such as conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine—to clean

the disc.
